Help with simple binds

Been trying to set up the afk chat bubble bind, but alas, it's escapes me.

/bind "enter" "afk message.$$beginchat "

That's what I've been trying to use for it, but it shows an error whenever I try to use it as having no arguements. I have no idea what that is.


/bind enter "afk Gone Fishing.$$beginchat <>"

This one, while avoiding the no args, makes the <> show up in my text box when I hit enter, and doesn't actually enable me to type.

What am I doing wrong here?

Use StartChat instead of BeginChat.

Startchat just puts the cursor in the chat box. BeginChat is used to place some text in the box before activating it. For example, to chat on Protector's Jello Shooters channel, I use beginchat /Send "Jello Shooters" which puts the Send command into the chat box so I can just type and then hit enter. That makes what I type automatically go to the JS channel.

But for your purpose, you just want to use StartChat.
