Text Prompt

The text prompt is a small window that asks you to type an answer, such as a name or a number. It shows the question, a box for the answer, and the buttons Okay and Cancel under the box. The question also stands in the box as a hint until you type.

The window opens in the middle of the screen. A long question is broken into lines, and the window grows to hold them. Only one prompt is open at a time, and a new question replaces the one before it.

Text Prompt, auto-lock — The prompt that asks for a skill's auto-lock value. The question names the skill, here Archery, and says the value must lie between 0 and 120. The value 110 is typed.

Text Prompt, name-a-place — The prompt that asks for the name of a place you are about to mark on the map, with the name "Old Smithy" typed.

Text Prompt, rename-a-pet — The prompt that asks for a new name for a pet, with the pet's current name, "Biscuit", already in the box.

Text Prompt, text — A prompt that asks for the text of a hotbar, with the answer "Healing" typed in the box.

Opening it

Choose Set Auto-Lock Value from the menu of a skill in the Skills window. A skill that already has a value shows a Remove choice there instead.
Choose Rename from the menu of one of your pets.
Choose a way of marking a place in the map or in the Waypoints window.
Other windows ask for a name or a number in the same way, for example when you rename a macro.
The prompt closes when you click Okay or Cancel, or press Enter or Escape in the box. An answer that is refused, as described below, keeps it open.

Using it

Type your answer in the box. The box has the keyboard focus when the prompt opens.
Click Okay, or press Enter, to send the answer. The prompt closes.
Click Cancel, or press Escape, to close the prompt without an answer.
When the question wants a number, an answer that is not a number keeps the prompt open and puts the starting value back. A count must be 1 or more.
When the question wants a value between two numbers, a number past one end is pulled back to that end.
