Requesting help with a keybind issue

You apparently have your enter key bound to: beginchat "<border black> "
To fix this:
/unbind enter
or
/bind enter "show chat$$startchat"
Then make sure there is no entry for enter on your keybinds.txt file.
Strangely enough - or not - the only thing bound to ENTER was "startchat".
Using the /unbind enter did the trick.
Now I can interact with other humans! Thanks Master-Blade!
You know, just to throw this out there - I had a whole mess of crepes this morning. They're just like pancakes, maybe even better.

Maybe your keyind.txt file only had "startchat", but that's not necessarily what your characters are actually using (unless you load that file).|

In-game, you could have done "/showbind enter" to see what is actually bound to that key (on that character).
Anyway, glad it's working normally for you again.
Note that the game won't always show the current bind for a key in keybinds.txt. That file only updates when you use the /bindsave command.
The best way to see what's bound to a key is to use the new /showbind <KEY> command. It's always been accurate when I've used it.
It's also how I found out that manually editing a bind file, and replacing a bind with "" will NOT delete whatever you last had bound. For example, if you had U set up as this:
U "targetcustomnext Bacon"
Then edited the bind file to this:
U ""
And then reload the bind file, U will still be bound to "targetcustomnext Bacon". That caused me all kinds of frustration until I figured out I'd have to either /unbind <KEY> or change it to "nop". Bleh.

And I'll also note for the benefit of others that "/unbind <KEY>" does not necessarily clear a key's bind either, but sets the key to whatever the server default is for that key.|

Along those lines, I have the following in my keybinds.txt file:
F7 "unbind F7"
Reason being, the first press of the key automatically fixes it to display a green background instead of <bgcolor> code.
I've looked at the keybinds.txt and the chat options in-game but I can't solve this problem I'm having.
When I press enter, without fail I say:
<border black>
This may be a lingering issue from way back. It hasn't become a problem until recently, I've been teaming a lot more.
Thanks in advance.
