How do you type text messages in TF2? I see text coming up on the screen in the corner, but never knew how to type it myself. What key do you hit to get the typing started?

    "U" to talk to your team only. "Y" to post a global message readable by all players on server.

    Those are the defaults.. unless you change your key mappings.

    You can see all of the controls under the options menu.

    Also typing a message disables the game controls. Meaning don't stop to type in the middle of a match. Most of the voice commands (Z or X or C + 1-9) will also put the message up in the chat box along with the character voice.

    That said the only two times that typing is acceptable:

    1: You can not use voice because family member is trying to sleep in the same room and you randomly yelling "Heavy!" at 2am will result in you sleeping on the couch.

    2: The admins have all talk on and you have something you REALLY only want to tell your team.

    If neither of the above come into play, use voice. If you do not have a mic, get up and go get one, then play.

    This touch of sarcasm brought to you by:

    I'm sorry Ryder. I'm sure somewhere along the line you are one of the many people I joked with F10 about.
