SlashMael is a simple addon that automatically sets your chat editbox channel target (i.e. General, Trade, LocalDefense, [your own chat channel], etc) when you start entering a specified string. Simply put, it mimics the feature of the chat editbox that changes the chattype to "Yell" automatically when you type "/y[space]", or "Say" when you type "/s[space]", etc.

It also "stickies" the channel so that when you press enter again it automatically is in the specified channel.

An easy to use, lightweight addon (under 7kb!) that greatly enhances one's ability to type in custom channels.

Just type /mael to get started.
