UI_commands - beyond-all-reason/springrts_engine_wiki_mirror GitHub Wiki
The ingame chat is the console. Open with hitting the `return` or
`enter` key. If you want to enter a command into ingame chat, you
must add a / in front
for example: /commandhelp
Some commands will also autocomplete if you press TAB. So if you enter
"/com" and then to press TAB, it will complete it to `/command` and
tells you there is `/commandhelp` & `/commandlist`, if you now enter
either `l` or `h` and press TAB again it will complete to one of
them.
Also commands are not case-sensitive.
For a complete (excluding Lua commands & some engine `actions`) use:
/commandlist
