Hi there,

I'm also used to send messages on Alt+S and would like to have a return functin on hitting Enter, instead of sending.

Last mentioned is not too important but I'm often hitting Alt-S and get annoyed that nothing happens

I tried to solve that by wrinting a Script but the OnEvent_ChatWndEditKeyDown does only work for Ctrl, Shift and Non-System Keys. And Non-System Keys are defined as "not a combination with the Alt-Key". *grrrr*

On the other hand that means, that your Ctrl+Enter features can be easiely modified by a script.

Does anyone have a solution to get Alt+S working?
One may be to use an external tool to Set Alt+S to work as Enter.
Or have a new Event Handler that works on Alt...

js code:

function OnEvent_ChatWndEditKeyDown( pChatWnd, vkKey, bCtrl, bShift ) {
    if ( vkKey === 0xD /* VK_RETURN */ ) {
        if ( bCtrl === true ) {
            pChatWnd.SendMessage( pChatWnd.EditText ); // I don't think this property perserves emoticons
            return true;
        } else {
            /*
                too lazy to write code to insert a new line at the current character
                position and overwrite any highlighted text... DIY
            */
            return true;
        }
    }
    return false;
}

You may be interested in using a global hook to detect key presses. If you look at my StatusKey script, you'll find the code you need (graciously provided by matty). I think it uses ALT-S by default for something

EDIT: Linked to script

You can use CTRL+Enter to get a new line then hit Enter to send message

It seems as if the enter key is not processed or when typing unless ctrl or shift are held.

Therefore the above code I wrote won't work...
