A function key opens a message editor only while all of these hold:

  • the session is neither a campaign nor a skirmish game;
  • the key falls in the session player range, which runs from F1 to F1 plus the session’s player limit less one;
  • no message is already being edited.

Past that gate only a network or Internet session addresses anything. The last key in the range addresses every player at once, and an earlier key addresses one connection — the one at the position the key names, which requires both that a connection stands at that position and that see-all mode is off.
