Key Maps off while using chat

[Lax]

Usually you just hit Shift+Alt+M or click the left icon (that has A,Z) to turn the arrow grey. Unless you added more Key Maps, in which case you'd need to add them to the Activate Maps mapped key in the Control key map.

And then if you have different Key Maps for different teams, you want to black or white list them to prevent the wrong maps from being loaded on the wrong team. To do so, you would go into your Character Set in the top pane, then click on Key Maps in the bottom left pane. This will bring up the Character Set-specific white/black list editor for Key Maps.

Cheers guys, I'm just terrible at remembering to actually turn them off when chatting. Why I was trying to see if there was an easier way that meant I didn't have to physically remember.

I guess I'll just have to start training myself to turn them off before I start typing, though in the end it's not really a big deal, it's was more a minor annoyance than a serious problem.
