Bind help

Is there a way to move to focus off the chat box? Many of my binds are just chat binds, such as /bind numpad1 beginchat /send whereever

But recently I find I have need to be able to hit a button and do a, I guess, endchat, without sending anything. Is that even an option?

Oh, one more question.

I was looking at my bind file and removing old binds and binds I Setup but never used, when I load the game it will automatically load the bind file, just the generic keybinds.txt, and erase all those binds I don't use, right?

First Question: Escape. When the chatbox has focus, Escape will take it away. It's the generic cancel button.
Second Question: No. Two problems. "keybinds.txt" is only loaded on new character creation (AFAIK, the defaults are set first, then it's automagically loaded, so that not having such a file won't leave you with an unbound alt. keybinds.txt is basically for overriding the defaults). Every character you already have has their own set of keybinds, stored on the server, and those only change if you manually change them. You can, however, fire "/bindload" to load the generic keybinds.txt file.
Second problem, though, is that loading a bindfile only changes any binds explicitly mentioned in that file. Loading a bindfile with only one bind in it, only changes that bind. To reset keybinds to default, use "/unbind <KEY>". To blank out a keybind, rather than restore default, use "/bind <KEY> nop". The nop thing works in bindfiles, too, so you can change your keybinds.txt file to NOP a bunch of keys, and it'll clear them out that way when you load it.

Exactly what I was looking, thank you.
