Currently the control for VC is "push V to talk" its possible to use, but it can be hard to keep it held down while fighting.

You can set it to always open, but that has its own share of problems, like being far too hard to close in the middle of a battle if your team tell you that you have started broadcasting static at them, or if someone starts talking to you IRL. (nobody wants to year your kids shouting "DAAAAD! WHERE'S THE MILK!" or hear you mom asking what you want for dinner.


I would suggest a toggle option.

Push V once to open your Mic, then push it again to close it.

would this be possible?

    My main issue with ptt is that it doesnt work while inside any kind of menu such as crafting window, inventory, pretty much anything. so when questing with my friends we end up turning ptt off, but when I queue for pugs I have to remember to turn it on or everyone gets to listen to me pound at the keyboard or even better the time my fiance walked in the room and starting talking about our personal life ;) I bet some teenage boys in that pvp match heard some things that made their eyes pop out of their heads and I would rather not have that happen again.

    I like this suggestion, and it doesn't seem too difficult to add.

    Sorry if I'm stating the obvious but you could bind a different key if it's V itself which is the problem. If you really want the toggle option it would be very easy to code a toggle in autohotkey or autoit.

    If you're willing to bind 2 keys... one to turn on, and the other to turn off... you can do this. In this case, you can use V to enable, and shift V will disable:

    /bind V svPushToTalk 1
    /bind Shift+V svPushToTalk 0

    It's unfortunate that ++ does not work (this basically toggles the command on and off), as that would be the natural, already built in way to do this. Seems to work with other commands ("/bind \ ++walk" for instance).
