Enable Highlight/Copy for Chatbox text.

I'm not sure if this has been touched on at all, but lately, I've been using a translator app quite a bit to make cross language communication in GW a damn sight easier. At the moment though, it's a little one sided, because try as I may, I haven't figured out how, or if it's even possible, to copy text from the chatbox.

I know it's a minor issue, but it's not something that'd be hard to do, and for anyone who has ever had to endure trading with someone who speaks a different language, it'd be a total godsend..

If this has been brought up before, please delete the other post and keep this one, because my Mum says I'm really cool and my posts are the bestest...

Had that problem too.

You can highlight the chatbox text; When you've finished typing in what you want, hold Shift and press the Left Arrow to highlight what you just typed (you can drag buts its awkward). Also, the highlighter colour is almost the same as the chatbox background so is kinda hard to see.

I think the OP is referring to the text already sent in the chatbox, not the one you're about to send. Doing so, you'll be able to select the received text and use it in a translator.

That would be great sometimes /signed.

Yeah, to clarify, I meant text in the chatbox that's already been sent/received. Hope that clears up my intentions a little.

Would be a very nice feature, but sadly they probably won't change it.

I can see this being useful at times. Might as well /sign.

Thought you guys speak English in australia.

This would be handy, as I'm always posting links for my guildies to check out. Instead I have to put the link into the skill template window's name bar and post it so that they can copy it once they click it.

We most certainly do. But seriously, I have friends everywhere as most online folk do. I also trade a bit, and often run into traders who speak just enough English to make absolutely no sense whatsoever. Having the copy option means that:

1. I can start speaking to my friends in their own language, and perhaps even begin to learn them, which would make me rawther happy.
2. When trading, and someone decides to answer my trade spam with something like: 그래, 난 당신 q9는 동전기의 고환을 구입하고 싶습니다! then I can actually do something about getting the language barrier breached.

+1 win all the way IMO.

Another possible benifit is to be able to copy build templates posted from all chat instead of typing the whole thing in.

I hadn't even thought of that, but yea, that's another great side-effect.
