Following on from my Action / Emote post, what, as A GM do you use Story, GM (or equivalent) ID and OOC for?

I use Story (outside of pre-written text) for descriptions and statements (when I remember), I use GM ID to reply to player OOC texts about the scene and for asking for rolls and the like, I use OOC to reply to OOC banter,

Although to be honest I use OOC more than I should as it is easier to hit ctrl enter, to reply to a game enquiry, when I have an NPC ID selected. So maybe GM ID should be available on a <key press> enter?

I use story text for prepared recaps or scenes I've thought about in advance. I'm rarely prepared enough to use it and have to rely on typing speed to get me through.

I also use OOC as a GM too much, for the same reason. Sometimes it's easier to hit the button rather than switch IDs back to GM in order to answer a question. Having it on a key press would be useful (CTRL-ALT?).
