On a related note...
Pressing CTRL-SHIFT-G will give you a lot of information,and the time mentioned there is the current time on the planet you are on. So if it's dark out and you're wondering when the sun will come up, just press CTRL-SHIFT-G and it will give you a rough idea. (press it again to get rid of the window)
It also lists things like memory usage,your coordinates, FPS, etc.
And for anyone who is wondering... 1 second of real time is 6 seconds in planetary SWG time as far as I can tell. So a 24 hour day passes in game in 4 hours.

Great to know. There have been many times when I've wondered about things like this.
For those of us that don't use the default keymap, what is the command called so I can try to find what it got remapped to when I selected the FPS layout to build from.
Hmmm...I just checked and it's not able to be remapped directly, but it's called 'UI Debug Print'. I found this out by trying to remap CTRL-SHIFT-G. So it should be set that way for all of the different keyboard templates.

- Typing "/a" then hitting ctrl-shift-tab will give you a list of all commands that start with "a". You can make the command as long as you want for your search, so "/melee" then ctrl-shift-tab will list all slash commands that start with "melee" (whether you actually have the ability or not). Handy if you can't quite remember the spelling of a command. I'm not sure if this is common to all keymaps, I believe the item in the keymap is called "command completion".
- "/help {command}" can be handy for getting the syntax of some complicated ones. I can never remember the options for /alarmaddin (the command to create an alarm that triggers after a given amount of time), so "/help alarmaddin" is my friend.
Excellent !

Pressing CTRL-\ is the default shortcut for the /peace command. This makes it easy to spam it when you're in trouble.
CTRL-Backspace will clear the Combat Queue. That's the place that shows which specials you have lined up to perform. If you need to get in a heal or a different kind of move and you have other moves in line, you can press this to clear that and then hit your heal or different move. You can also incorporate this into macros by using the command /ui action clearCombatQueue.

yeah we get a list but it doesnt do us much good. what we NEED is a list of player usable /commands all the options for each command and EXACTLY what each command does. we also need this for all player usable /ui commands.
any other game i buy in the store supplies a full list of commands i can use in the game. SWG is the only game i have taht i have had to guess at what something does and experiment to figure out a command.
