Overhaul Chat Keys

In most MMO's, the chat key (enter) automatically responds to the last chat channel (or private message).

In Elite Dangerous, the chat key (enter) binds to an empty channel. Until a player selects a target for their chat, the chat key is essentially useless. This could explain why a lot of people don't respond to messages. Who has time to select a player when you are busy flying? Who has time to respond to a "drop or die" when you're busy trying to run away?

I think to encourage player communication, the chat key needs an overhaul.

Of course, a quick way to fix this is to bind the chat key to a broadcast channel for the local area/instance...
 
...I always thought you responded with keys like R , or shift+R

Either way I agree I'd like to see the Chat-window improved (lots)
