Insert name into chat

I don't know if you are like me, but I have a difficult time typing other charater's titles when I am trying to chat in game. So I thought, maybe VMK could add a button to the player information window to add the character's name into the chat bar. It might look something like this:


Then as I was thinking about it, I thought that a similar button on an item info panel might be useful as well. Why? Because you can't say the name of some items because they aren't in the dictionary. Maybe they could allow us the say Disney Cruise Travel Chest Red if it were inserted by this button. VMK would have to make it so that you couldn't edit the words individually but that is probably possible.


What do you think?

I think that would be really good, especially if they dont have a nickname and some items are hard to explain. i think vmk should use it

Let's say you are in another player's guest room. You can't click on the furniture in order for that to pop up, what do you do?

Also, it might be annoying to search a person in a room to click that button. I just find it to be a hassle.

On the first comment, you are right, it may have limited usefulness, but someone running a trade room could put their furnishings as moveable and voila you can use the control. Maybe VMK could add a room control that makes furninshing info available to guests. Might be getting to complicated at this point, but there are times when trying to identify a specific item is difficult.

As for the second comment, I was thinking of someone running a game room where the contestants are new to them. They don't know preferred short titles but they know specifically which character they want to address their comment to. I thought the button would be useful in that situation. I agree that the control would not be useful for chatting with friends that you know well.

I like the idea, but this wouldn't be too helpful in my game, Stitch's Title that Object!
Here, players have to say the full name of an item I put out on the crates. It would just be too easy! Still, great thinking for the players title one.

Yeah, you're right it would go better below the friends button.
