To write to all?

If you mean multiplayer communication. It's called channel switching (you want to switch to Global Channel, or side channel for just your allies), I think it was . or , key.

§22) Use descriptive thread titles

If you start a new thread, please make sure your thread title explains what you want without forcing people to read through your post first. Thread titles such as "How in the world do I...", "Need help!" or "Will we ever see..." are anything but descriptive. We do not allow these kind of titles and threads with such titles are subject to be closed.

The chat key allows you to send text and you can also via own key chat voice via VoIP (if enabled) on the selected channel. To switch channels, press "," or "." keys.

on US keyboards it is the / key

Hi all

Just to summarise press [,] or [.] keys to change channels and the [/] to chat (all bottom right of keyboard next to the shift key.) The return key sends your chat.

The Channels are the same as for VOIP default [Caps Lock] key.

You may find voice comms to be more useful.

Team Speak, VOIP and Mumble are very common on most community servers.

There is an explanation in the manual linked from this thread:

Also, using the arrow keys UP + DOWN while the chat window is open will also scroll through the various channels available.

I thought that gives you some chat-history of the current channel you're in.
