REQUEST! A cool xtra!

Post by sdh »

:?: 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?

:idea: 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? :roll:

sry for the bad english.

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

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. :)

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. :)
