+## Sending to Global Chat (`!` Prefix)
+
+While a channel is active, your chat goes to that channel. Prefixing a message with `!` sends that one message to global chat instead, without leaving or switching the channel.
+
+```
+!Hello everyone      # Goes to global chat even while a channel is active
+```
+
+The `!` and any space following it are stripped before the message is sent, so it never appears in the message itself. A message consisting of only `!` is discarded and nothing is sent.
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> The prefix is handled by the chat listener, which is only registered when channel chat, cross-server global chat, or Japanese conversion is enabled. If all three are disabled, a leading `!` stays in the message exactly as typed.
