Because I've used /bind \ "afk, Emoting...$$beginchat /em " successfully for years now?

Read the Patriot newsletter. It's right, it's free.
I personally used a similar trick at some point for tells. Basically to let people know if I'm talking to someone in private.
Few days later I realized it wasn't a good idea and defeats the purpose of a "private conversation". So I ditched it. xD

beginchat takes an argument. For instance,
/beginchat "Hello There!"
would take focus to chat input box, put in "Hello There!" and then place your cursor at the end of that message, in case you wish to add something. This comes handy for binds like
/bind key "beginchat /send GlobalChannel " <--- Note the space before the last quote. Or,
/bind key "say (OOC): "
startchat simply doesn't take an argument. It just sets your focus to chat input. I believe the default bind for enter key is,
/bind enter startchat
This came up in google when I searched for it, so thanks Silver Gale :-)

Along with binding Enter to a "please wait, typing" afk bubble, why not bind ; (the semicolon key) to a "please wait, typing an emote" one?
/bind enter "afk About to say something$$startchat"
/bind ; "afk About to do something$$beginchat ;"
