The chat area is very small and it's very easy to miss messages. There should be a hotkey that a user could hold to see a bigger chatlog. I propose key H or U as the default. Pressing esc and clicking a UI button is too distracting and takes too much time.

I'd like to add another hotkey to expand the ingame chat window, to see another 10 lines or so back without needing to stop playing to open the UI.
@BR- would you mind opening a pull request here for adding your hotkey modifications to OpenSpades? 馃槈
