Shortcuts

You must have LethalConfig to use custom shortcuts in this mod! https://thunderstore.io/c/lethal-company/p/AinaVT/LethalConfig/

Launch Lethal Company and make sure you can see the LethalConfig button on the main menu. Open the LethalConfig and scroll till you find "Quick Chat"

Now you can change the settings here to your heart's content.

There are still two modes that can be used however, Simple or Advanced. Those are covered down below.

Shortcuts Simple Mode

You will need to restart your game after changing the amount of Simple Shortcuts you want and theres a limit (20) to how many shortcuts you can have.

You first need to un-tick the "Use Advanced Shortcut Definition" at the top, click apply, then restart your game after you get prompted to do so.

Changing the Simple Shortcuts Amount at the top will require a game restart in order to load the new config entries. To assign a shortcut to a result, you change the shortcut in the designated category, and then change the result.

Shortcuts Advanced Mode

This is a bit harder to follow but you can have nigh-infinite shortcuts with no restarts needed to add more.

You first need to tick the "Use Advanced Shortcut Definition" at the top, click apply, then restart your game after you get prompted to do so. Then after you restart your game you should see this in your Quick Chat Config Menu:

To make your shortcuts now you must follow this format:

SHORTCUT_NAME : RESULT, SHORTCUT_NAME2 : RESULT2

: separates the Shortcut and Result. Shortcut must be on the left and Result must be on the right.

, creates a new Shortcut

Terminal

Requires TerminalApi (https://thunderstore.io/c/lethal-company/p/NotAtomicBomb/TerminalApi/)

If you go to the Terminal and type qcview, you'll be able to see all your Shortcuts!
