Is there any way to use user commands to display custom in-game chat messages? As with IRC user commands (for example, typing /hi inserts the text "Greetings Commander" in the chat window)
Would be very helpful for Fuel Rats operations for example.
I don't use voice commands yet, yet I want to try again someday.

I remember a discussion about this before somewhere. I think the solution that someone went for was to use the featre of VoiceAttack that allows you to specify a string, so you could effectively use a macro for stock phrases. Would need to be either voice enabled or on a very unused (F?) key.

You could use a macro software like autohotkey or you could
Use my home grown voice dictation addon for Voice Attack.

That's so cool!
I've got an ED Tracker, a VoiceAttack license etc and it would all add so much to the overall game play. The problem is the view being constantly screwed up by me looking over my shoulder in a paranoid manner for my wife and the voice recognition being trashed by shouts of "Dad can I have a <insert pointless request here>".
