Can you add a verb to manually toggle the typing indicator/does one already exist?

This would mostly be useful for people that use macros to bring up say/emote/etc (like me).

What problem are you trying to solve exactly? Didn't really get it from the OP.

Typing 'Say'/'Emote'/'Shout'/'Whisper'/etc then hitting Enter, thus bringing up the corresponding entry box (and not using the box at the bottom of the chat), does not bring up the typing indicator. A toggle or verb to enable and disable the typing indicator, so others can still know if you're using that box instead.
