Keyboard Hotkey to bring up a Dialog Window?

[aussj5link]

I was wondering if there is any way to set a key on the keyboard to open a dialog window? I know it can be done with chat commands of course, but I've always felt that was not as efficient as simply hitting a button to open a menu. Any help is much appreciated! After I have this solved and ready to go I'm gonna put the map in the development section if anyone would like to see/test my progress.

Player skips a cinematic--

Show Dialogue for triggering player

Something like this?

You could try making a dummy ability that has a hotkey and whenever a unit casts the ability the dialog pops up.

I ended up going with the arrow keys. In theory I shouldn't need any more than 4 menus throughout the game. Thank you guys for your help though!

Erm you should probably change that as a lot of players use the arrow keys to move the camera in the game.

Eventually I plan to have a different system for the camera. It's the whole reason I have scaled so much down. The camera will be locked in a sort of 3rd person view on the hero, adjustable to some degree, but still locked. I'm wondering if before I go any further, if I should get that camera system up and working. The only problem is, I have zero experience with camera triggers, I don't even know where to start lol.
