Currently the chat mode is toggled between normal, shout, and party by pressing Shift + Tab. by default Shift + Tab is the same key combination to open the Steam overlay. Too many times I’ve opened the Steam overlay to replay to someone then get back in game to talk to someone only to find out that I just said it in shout instead of normal chat. I know I’m not the only one have this problem.
I could change the button combination for the steam overlay, but doing a workaround wont solve the problem for new players who still have steam settings to default. We also shouldn’t have to change are steam settings just for one game either. Maybe bind it to the “~” key instead? What do you guys think?
