It would be really nice if the chat window supported autocompletion (pressing tab).
Say I am playing map Veil, and I am writting N and presses tab, it should autocomplete to Nanogrid.
If I press tab again it would autocomplete to (the) Neck.
If I press tab again it could autocomplete to Neo (if such player was playing).
Follow up suggestion; it would be nice if there was an audio notification/beep if my nick was written in the chat.

Buy and/or use a microphone...
It is no way faster than than use autocompletion, especially when you have learned how many tabs to apply.
Secondly for player names like |1|l||li|l, do you think you will get that right?
But wouldnt that change constantly as people join and leave?
Overall, I think dev ressources are better used elsewhere.
I agree if the map locations and names are mixed then this will be slow.
People spam the mic sometimes. People also spam the chat sometimes, but at least you have the possibility to choose one whilst spam is occurring for the other. If both, then sad day.
It's also helpful if you play late at night and people are asleep. You may even manually choose your own autocompletes if you wish. Good idea.
At that point you might as well set up some macros, frankly
How many macros would you need to set up to account for the rooms in the several maps that you might wish to play?
Also, for not a lot of work, a bunch of people could get some use out of it. There are more important things to worry about, but this is something to file to the side for an NS3 maybe, in 2087.
install a voice modulation software ;]
Hmm what was that one called again which worked pretty well... MorphVoiceX or something? Or you could go the more expensive GassyMexican route (Line 6 UX2 and Line 6 Pod farm). Both not free in any way though
Not perfect, but would do the job of masking female voices ;]
On another note, I vaguely recall GoldSrc having script options to link named location entities (from all kinds of mods) to a chat bind by pointing at it with your crosshair and automatically fill out a bind
say "yo we got some issues at %location%"
