==Aliases==
Bind these commands to the keys of your choice:
{| border="1"
|- 
! Command 
! Description
|-
| hailtog
| Switches the mode of your keyboard from weapon groupings to hails and back. [[User:Miharu|Miharu]] suggests using the 0 (zero) key by typing <b>/bind "0" hailtog</b> in your console, or <b>bind "0" hailtog</b> in your wgaf.cfg file.
|-
| charHailA, charHailB
| Where it says <CharA> or <CharB>, replace that with the name of the character whose hails correspond to the A or B sets.
|-
| A_hail1 to B_hail9
| Where "<Insert message here>" is typed, put in a message of your choice. Don't worry about binding these to keys, the toggle takes care of that. Also, keep hails prefixed with "A_" for your first character, and those with "B_" for your second.
|-
| hailmsg
| This is your standard, basic hail. To change it, either go into the Controls menu and change it there, or use <b>/set hailmsg <your message></b> to change it manually within the console.
|}

==Notes and Tips==
* If you want your hails to use two messages, then use the template for the first six hails. For a single messages hail, use the last four.
* Don't use contractions or apostraphes (') in the message of the bind; it will interrupt the hail just before the location of the apostraphe and cut off the rest. Use backticks (`) instead.
* Have at least one or two single-message hails for use with NPCs and NPC capital ships; they will respond to both of your messages if they contain more than one line.
* Use this if you have two characters that need different hails.
