text alignment? by scumm on 07-12-2007 at 02:46 PM

a while ago, i was chatting to my friend. til i accidentally pressed some random keys on my keyboard. then my messages were right aligned, both for me and my contact (ie: meaning that my messages were right aligned in her window too; not that her messages were right aligned too.)
i started palming my keyboard, and it went back to normal.

anyways, i was wondering if anyone could tell me what i pressed to get this?

i'm not sure whether or not this has something to do with msgplus, but i'd like an answer either way. eheh

thanks!

Probably it was the Combination 'Right-Ctrl+Right-Shift' and to shift it back try the combination 'Left-Ctrl+Left-Shift'

thanks for the quick response though (:

Might help you

EDIT: But I think it only applies to Word.

Ctrl + A -> Ctrl + R ?

This is not related to Plus! but is actually a Windows behavior. Here are the shortcuts you asked for:

  • Ctrl+Left Shift - Left alignment (left-to-right text)
  • Ctrl+Right Shift - Right alignment (right-to-left text)
However, Messenger will not (for some odd reason) accept these shortcuts until you enter certain special characters into the input box. For example, one character that works is Alt+1986. Once you've entered this character, you can delete it and then use those shortcuts (I don't know why this is required :p)

Can you center/justify your text this way in MSN messenger?

RE: text alignment? by deAd on 07-13-2007 at 03:34 PM

No.

I realise that this thread is well over a year old, but can anyone confirm whether or not aligning text works with the latest version of Messenger?

It would appear that the key combinations don't work anymore...at least they don't work for me...but then again I was never aware of them
