Question:
I have an idea for a xtra, but could not possibly create it.
I would like to know if there is others out there who think this is a good idea.. And maybe create it?

The idea:
When pushing uparrow on the keyboard in the chat window
old messages that i have sent a person reapear in the textfield,
so now i can just send some message that hasnt gone trough or
that i want to send again. and it would be good if it could remember
something between 10 - 20 old messages that i just can preview in the
textfield with up and downarrow. (kinda like in the console in quake3).

what do you people think? could someone create this?

sry for the bad english.

It's a great idea! In-fact, It's such a good one that it already exists!!
(alt+up arrow and alt+ down arrow 8) )

kinda like in IRC?

lol! well.. thats good

because i didnt know this, maybe a good idea is that someone could post all theese little trix & tips with adium right here?

or wait, let me guess... there alredy is a post on that?

<link please!>

btw.. it would anyhow be way better with just up and downarrow, instead of alt + arrow!

Definitely not, sorry. Up and down have text editing purposes!

Someone's working on some documentation that would have hints like that, but it's not done yet.

Wow, you learn something new every day.

I've posted this about a dozen times before, but here goes:

In a message window:

Option+Up/Down : Insert previously typed messages
Control+S: Temporarily swap out the message you're typing and clear the field. Type Control+S again to swap the message back in.
Control+Up/Down : Like swap but with multiple slots to keep messages in
Command+Up/Down : Scroll the message view.

Page Up/Down, Home, End, etc. all work too.
