I'm a GM with a lot of sheets for enemies, NPC's, etc. It bogs down the game during combat when I have to always change who i'm typing as in the chat, because I have custom buttons for each token that calculate most of the combat stuff for me (and I don't want the chat to be clogged down with a bunch of messages correcting who's actually rolling what). Has someone made a script, where when you click on a token it changes you to the name of that token in the chat?
The API can't affect who you are speaking as, and it can't react to simply clicking on a token. There is however a solution for you as gm. And it doesn't even require the API. Simply add this to the start of any macros that are not being whispered to you: /as "@{selected|character_name}" Insert macro text here EDIT: If the macros are all contained in their respective character's sheets, then you can streamline that even more to just be: /as "@{character_name}" Insert macro text here See the wiki for full details EDIT 2: Also, note that this command is only accessible by the GM, so these macros won't work for players.
If you are using Chrome and prefer Hotkeys, You might consider this tip to speed you up even more. (Does not work with Firefox Quantum)

Thanks! Can't believe I didn't think of this earlier. Big help.
Glad to help, happy rolling.
