Chat prefix and colouring

How the chatbox visually looks, and how the player interacts with it has not changed much over the years. Command lines are shoehorned into the same functionality. WIth jj2+ becoming bigger and bigger and with more commands and shortcut oddities, it can get quite daunting.

Prefix and colouring
Starting off the chat box with "/" changes the prefix "Chat:" to "Command:" and changes the prefix, chatbox to yellow.It can be backspaced to return to regular "Chat:"
- Starting off the chatbox with ">" changes the prefix "Chat:" to "Admin Chat:" and changes the prefix, chatbox and sent chat to green. Unlike commands, also removes the ">" from the typed box. It can be backspaced to return to regular "Chat:"
- Starting off the chatbox and chat with "/me" changes the prefix "Chat:" to "#[Playername]" and changes the prefix, chatbox and sent chat (This latter one already the case) to lightblue. Unlike commands, also removes the "/me" from the typed box. It can be backspaced to return to regular "Chat:"
