How Can I Create A Chatbox/Keyboard Shortcut For An Online Game??

So ..... I play an online game where you can play solo or duo.

I always play duo and when you play and you team up with a randomly assigned team mate, you can chat by using emojis. There are 16 to choose from and to use them you first have to press C to open up the chatbox .... it stays open for a few seconds and you have to press 2 numbered keys .... so that's a total of 3 key presses.

I'm wondering if there's a way of assigning a shortcut so that the emojis I use the most (say about 6 of them) can all be accessed by pressing just one key - a different key assigned to each emoji.

This must be possible, because sometimes when I'm playing, I'm bombarded with LOADS of emojis one after the other .... there's no way anyone could be controlling their character with the mouse/cursor whilst repeatedly pressing the 3 required keys for each emoji.

By the way, the game in question is https://hexanaut.io/#

Anyone any ideas please??

I'm assuming your using a pc to play the game? If so and have access to a headset and mic, why not use Discord.

I play several games online and belong to about three private Discord groups. No cost and no key presses.

Thamks for the advice.

I call it a chat box .... but it's very limited.

You can't type messages or talk to each other .... the only way to communicate is to send each other 1 of the 16 pre-designed emojis.

The game is fast moving and you can't stop or pause, so trying to find the 3 keys in around 2-3 seconds is quite tricky, so I'm after a way of being able to access say 6 of these emojis with just 1 button press.
