Hey guys, i was wondering if I could set any other buttons for sending messages instead of the default "enter"? A lot of times I type too fast and i just press enter, so I was wondering if I could set it to maybe TAB+ENTER, like ICQ? If not, could this be a suggestion for future versions? Thx!

No. You cannot. The answer is totally NEGATIVE.

i see you can make your own scripts.. I was wondering if this kind of script is possible to write?

You don't need any hidden window and/or registering hotkeys or whatever if you use a normal keystroke like ALT+ENTER or CTRL+ENTER. You can catch such key strokes with OnEvent_ChatWndEditKeyDown().

As for trapping the ENTER key, that's another matter. This isn't that easy and would probably require some patching or other advanced technique.

There is also another way of doing it,  but this is a bit dodgy and it wont always work (eg: the use of the command /all, I think). That is catching the send message with OnEvent_ChatWndSendMessage() and if it wasn't send from the OnEvent_ChatWndEditKeyDown() event cancelling the message. If it was send from OnEvent_ChatWndEditKeyDown() let the message through...

Firstly, I'm sorry Cookie for not remembering that event in the first instance.  I just remembered another time when someone wanted a hot key and had to use that method.  But I do have a question to propose....

Is there a reason why Plus! does not trigger OnEvent_ChatWndEditKeyDown() when either ENTER or SHIFT+ENTER is pressed? It does however work for CTRL+ENTER.  If this could be done then you would only need to return the boolean value true for when ENTER is pressed instead to stop the use of the ENTER key.

It is not like it would even effect the use of selecting a command from Plus!'s command box either because those keypresses aren't detected (which is understandable and how it should react).  And furthermore it would not effect the use of the likes of the /all command either because it is only nullifying the use of the ENTER key.

I do realise this creates a way for people to stop messages being sent from a person through the use of a script, but there things a lot worse that a script could be hiding anyway....

Ok there might be a hard way to do with using a messenger script...
But it is quite easy to do it with autohotkey (www.autohotkey.com)
Just make a script with the following code

code:

---

#ifwinactive ahk_class IMWindowClass
Enter::Send, {Shiftdown} {RETURN} {Shiftup}
#ifwinactive ahk_class IMWindowClass
+Enter::Send, {RETURN}

#ifwinactive ahk_class IMWindowClass
+Enter::Send, {RETURN}

this would require an extra program to run constantly on your computer so in that way it isn't as nice as a plus script but if I understand Cookie and Markee right, to make such a script is way hard so I'm afraid there is a good chance it will never be made...

[edit]
This exe should do the trick...
As Ezra suggested you could make a script that executes/terminates the exe with Messenger starting up/shuting down...
