What are the typing shortcuts for canned messages?

Canned messages can be inserted via type-ahead suggestions when composing replies to guests during a chat. The list of canned messages is whittled to match what has been typed.  If no matches are found, the type-ahead suggestions will disappear.

To select a canned message from the type-ahead suggestions using only the keyboard, press the Tab key and the first canned message in the list will be selected. Then use the arrow keys to traverse the list. Once your desired canned message is selected, press the Enter key to insert it into the typing area. From there you can edit it if needed before sending.

Operators can disable type-ahead in their webclient preferences under "Chat Window Settings" if desired.
