Binding

You can bind colored text to some key. However you won't be able to see color symbols in the dota 2 console. So I suggest opening notepad first so you can configure your text there and constantly alt tab to dota to check if your text looks like you wanted. If you want to have some space between your nickname and your text you have to use some color symbol first since it won't work otherwise when binding. If you want the space but you do not want to change the color just use the default color symbol then.As you can see color symbols are invisible in the console. But it doesn't matter, it still works fine once you press enter. For binding I suggest using numerical keyboard buttons. They start with kp_ prefix (remember to have Num Lock turn on when testing binds!). Instead of say command you can use say_team so only your team will be able to see it. And by the way emoticons unfortunately do not work with say/say_team commands.And the final result.You won't be able to use binds in menu chat and spectator chat. However you still will be able to use colors in spectator chat when you paste your binds/color symbols manually into the chat. But there is some bug in spectator chat and some colors will appear differently. I saw light blue color come out of silver color. But I do not know how to get it normally.
