Pause Reason Input Box

It would be cool if you could do a "/e" that would chat to everyone, even if in ally chat.  Then we wouldn't have to switch over all the time, or quickly unpause, click all, and then pause again and explain why you're pausing.

i also like this. or have hotkeys to change between all chat and ally chat.

I like the "/e" better than the hotkey.  Besides, the reason I want the reason to be placed underneath the pause icon is because the chat only lasts a few seconds and in that time.

I hope it wouldn't be a pain to display the "Pause-&-Effect: window, but assuming if either were difficult, (e/) I wonder if you could also toggle a hot-key or macro to switch your chat options to all, if you had to do so quickly?  Either that or a Counter-strike style setup, where one key opens all-chat, and another ally-chat.

I hope we can do something to this effect.  It's an interesting idea.

Ally-1:  "Who paused?"
Ally-2:  "I Don't know.  Other team?"
Ally-1:  "Bastards.  They're planning something."
Ally-2:  "Or on the toilet.  Let's un-pause and attack!"
Ally-1:  "Yeah!"

Opponent-1:  "Huh?  Oh No!!!"
Opponent-2:  "...Why did I buy the cheap toilet paper...?"
