Guild Wars 2

Please add a keyboard setup option for linking items. Currently it defaults to left control + mouse click. Also, anytime you do this, even if you aren’t currently typing a message in chat, it will link whatever you click on into the last channel you typed in.

This is an issue because many voice programs like, vent, teamspeak, etc use the left control key as the default “push to talk” key. The net result is that anytime someone is fighting and they hit their key to speak, it will put a link into chat for whatever ability they click on to use. This results in a large amount unintentional ability links being sent across chat.

Allowing players to set the key they use to link items would solve this issue. Additionally, if you only let people link items when they were currently typing a message, that would also resolve the issue.
