Hey guys,

I am on a laptop and I use my arrow keys and also my letter keys (ie - to fly I use E and X)

The problem is if I just chatted with someone, I can't seem to get out of the chat mode. Even if I click on the screen somewhere or on myself, when I press 'E' for example if I'm trying to fly up, it just types 'e' or 'eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee' lol in the chat window.

I noticed a button "Release Keys" but it doesn't seem to help.


I'm sure I'm just overlooking something silly. What is the easiest way to get out of the chat mode without closing my chat windows?


Thanks

There's an option in your preferences that says 'close chat after hitting return' . I don't know if that's what you need but it immediately stops your local chat after you type in a message and hit return.
