I made a suggestion for a self keyword and someone answered there exists already "talktomyself". However, I can not get the menu to show when talktomyself is active

/talktomyself on
&{template:gm-menu}{{title=Karten}}{{1=[Weltkarte](!mc move --target Weltkarte)[Seattle](!
##Menu-Karten-Seattle)[Party](!mc rejoin)}}
/talktomyself off
This does not output a menu displayed in my rolltemplate. It works when I remove the /talktomyself commands.

I don't know that you can turn on and off the talktomyself function in the same macro without creating problems. You could just make a macro /talktomyself without on or off and it just toggles between the two.

So the suggestion is absolutely valid...

Especially because
Note: API commands (a Pro subscription feature) will not be executed when /talktomyself is on.

Could you just do:
/w Wandler &{template:gm-menu}{{title=Karten}}{{1=[Weltkarte](!mc move --target Weltkarte)[Seattle](!
##Menu-Karten-Seattle)[Party](!mc rejoin)}}
or was your suggestion for something like
/ws &{template:gm-menu}{{title=Karten}}{{1=[Weltkarte](!mc move --target Weltkarte)[Seattle](!
##Menu-Karten-Seattle)[Party](!mc rejoin)}}
That would whisper to you regardless of your name? (which would be awesome!)

The second one. Especially to allow for deeply nested and complex chat outputs to provide menus for player to interact with macros and/or API commands without cluttering the chat.

I would love a /ws option. As a (non-API) workaround, I have macros whisper to an account with the display name of "self".
