Shift+3 doesn't do anything for you?

I have tried all shift combos :(

And just to make sure, you are hitting the Enter key before Shift+3, right?

Otherwise, you'll just be changing hotkey sets.

yep hitting the enter key , it puts a little square in the chatbox

If you aren't in normal chat, then you need to do a /say before you run the command. So, "/say #race 123" should work. If you are set to group, guild, or channel chat as your default chat, all commands will fail as they have to be in /say.
