Default chat behaviour

This chatbox has been made to behave similar to the default Garry's Mod chat

• ESC will exit the chat (but not open the main menu)
• Your console key will not open console when typing
• Pressing ENTER when you have not typed anything will close the chatbox and will not send an empty message
• Old messages will disappear when the chatbox is not open
• Copy & paste works
• Attempting to type a message which is too long will play an alert sound and trim your message
• Emojis are shown as plaintext (e.g. :fox_face:) in console & logs

Questions

What makes this different from other chat boxes with emojis?

All of the emojis you use on Twitter, Facebook, Discord (non-custom emojis), WhatsApp, etc. are available.
See the full list here.

This chatbox also attempts to behave like the default Garry's Mod chatbox to avoid confusing users.

Does this work when offline?

Everything apart from the emojis will work when you are offline. Emojis will show as squares.
