`cl_chatBubbleSelf`

TaystJK

While on, the client sends the talk button whenever the console, chat field or a menu has focus, and while the game is unfocused or minimized if cl_chatBubbleUnfocused is on. The game turns the talk button into the chat bubble other players see over you. 0 never sends it.
