Suggestion: Time-based "quick-reply" slash command

[biostem]

OK, so I'm sure we've all experienced something like this;  You put out a call for a team, and am getting tons of replies.  You type /r for the quick response and it goes out to the wrong person.  What I'd love to see is a similar quick-reply option that uses the time of when you typed the command contextually so it goes to the tell you received with the closest timecode (prior) to when you started typing said command.

 

For example:

 

/lfg Team lfm!

 

/tell Person1 I'd like to join you!

[this is where you type /r for some reason]

/tell Person2 I'm in!

/tell Person3 Invite meh!

 

If you finish typing your reply and hit enter, it goes to Person3 under the current system.  What I'm proposing is another slash command that looks at WHEN you started typing the proposed slash command, and figures out the correct person to send it to.  Now, I realize I could have right clicked and sent that specific person a response, but especially if you're getting flooded with tells or there's a lot going on, it can be cumbersome to scroll back up and/or find the correct person...

Just hit backspace instead of /r, that autopopulates to /t "player name"

 

Where player name is why last sent you a tell.  So it solves the problem.

Can you please clarify.  So someone sends me a tell.  If I immediately hit backspace, it'll fill in /t for THAT specific person, and not someone that might have sent me a tell just after I hit the backspace key?

The backspace key will start a reply to the person who sent you the most recent tell as of when you pressed the key. The game can't magically alter user input in the way you're describing.

Correct. It uses /t instead of /r

 

So if I pm you, it would enter "/t Psyonico, " meaning any tell you receive after hitting backspace won't interfere.
