Bind begin chat help

I'm trying to get my player name to appear next to a channel my sg has set up, but I can't seem to get it right. I'm doing something like this:

/bind+9/beginchat "channel name"[$player name] "

Am I on the right track?

Will pressing 9 bring up the channel with the player name?

that macro will post the text Channel Name followed by the character name to the current default channel that you're in at the time by pressing 9.

I misread the macro. 9 will send whatever text to the 'channel name' followed by your name.

/bind 9 beginchat /send "channel name" [$name]:

The quotation marks are only needed if the channel name has spaces in it, I believe. When you press 9, your text entry area will be autofilled with

/send "channel name" [$name]:

Which will send whatever you then type, preceded by your character name in brackets, to the named channel, regardless of which channel is selected.

So it only need the marks if the name is something like "Rice and Beans." and not just a single word?

Thats the whole point for the edit. Not to delete it but also not to confuse it with the correction...

No, the point of a quote is to see the quote you're quoting. Unless I move closer to the monitor or squint my eyes or highlight the text, I can't read it. So, in effect, I have no idea what you're quoting making actually quoting something a waste of everyone's time.

I wasn't quoting anything, I edited my own post. You quoted mine... I only quoted you quoting mine. The edit is what you quoted.

I greyed out an original post, and put the corrected edit under it so that people wouldn't get confused.

Unfortunately there is no Strikethrough or I would have used that instead.

I recommend using the quotes anyway - keeps you in a good habit.
