Want a more advanced, feature-full QuickKey?  Why not try Fingertips? 

• displays pop-up menus after the striking of preset hotkeys
  
• options menu (features detailed for each menu below)
  
• hotkey manager window (change the hotkeys to Ctrl/Shift/Alt/Win + [A-Z / 0-9])
  
• pop-up Messenger contact list (offline/blocked contacts can be hidden, and display method can be changed)
  
• new advanced contact list (shows contact information and options in a sub-menu)
  
• current conversation windows list (group windows can be hidden)
  
• quick status change (sign-out option can be hidden)
  
• advanced Messenger information (contact information can be hidden)
  
• click-to-copy information and titles (links to complete info lists)
  
• underlined options in menus (e.g. "About QuickKey..." - use the keyboard to navigate)

• added: Win key - include the Windows key in hotkey combinations
  
• fixed: options save/load - bug that didn't load hotkeys correctly after upgrading

• media message formatting (e.g. displaying "<song> - <artist>" rather than "WMP\0Music\01...")

I like it and will probably use it. The only bad thing is that the contact list is not searchable.

What I might do is add an options window, so you can select only certain contacts to appear in a "shortened" list.  If anyone has any ideas regarding options, feel free to post them. 

its really useful. it takes care of some of the problems of having to click back and forth to do stuff. one thing I would change though, is to make the "information" window shorter. cuz right now its strecthed across the length of my screen. ill post a pic to show wat i mean.

There are quite a few things you can do to reduce your code for instance:

js code:

---

function OnEvent_MenuClicked(sMenuId, nLocation, iOriginWnd) {
    MsgPlus.CreateWnd("Windows.xml", "Wnd"+sMenuId, 0);
}

---

js code:

---

function OnGetScriptMenu(nLocation) {
    return '<ScriptMenu>'+
          '<MenuEntry Id="Shortcuts">QuickKey shortcuts</MenuEntry>'+
          '<Separator/>'+
          '<MenuEntry Id="About">About QuickKey...</MenuEntry>'+
          '</ScriptMenu>';
}

---

Download version 1.3 - now available (see the top post)! 

it's great... but I don't think I will use it... the only good reason for use it is not available (Messenger Information is just for read it... no option for example to paste it somewhere or to copy to clipboard, etc)... Imagine use that information (or maybe more) to paste it here in forums with a single shortcut... think about it

Is it possible for a script to put something on the clipboard?

Your code won't work if WLM crashed and the hotkeys are still registered.

What you can do as a work around is to store the last window handle in the registry and read that to unregister the windows.

Yes my friend... just search in the forums... but I think you should add both option copy to clipboard and past directly to a form good luck!

Ah.  I need to add in a method of changing the hotkeys.  I'll work on that, too.

Download version 1.5 - now available (see the top post)!

All of the problems/suggestions in this thread have been fixed/added... 

Great my friend... now you should add this:

1. script menu reachable from MP!L script icon too. Easy way to config.
2. able to copy all the information, not only the CTRL+ALT+I menu information.
3. clicking in the tittle should copy a summary of all the info

UPDATE 1:
Bug:

code:

---

Función llamada: OnWndHotkeysEvent_EditTextChanged
Función llamada: OnWndHotkeysEvent_EditTextChanged
La función OnWndHotkeysEvent_EditTextChanged devolvió un error. Código: -2147352567
Función llamada: OnWndHotkeysEvent_CtrlClicked
Función llamada: OnWndSubclassEvent_MessageNotification
-> Building menu (4)...
-> Processing result (6004)...

---

Bug: After install it.. /checkupdates says a new version is available 1.3! you made a mistake somewhere with builds numbers my friend!

Suggestion 1: Improve About window adding more stuff like links to here, betatester, congrats, translators, etc...

Suggestion 2: Update Screenshots of the first post! and the version in your signature!

Suggestion 3: Pressing ESC key should hide the menu appeared with the shortcut

The two highlighted fields are what you want to be concerned with when using the Plus! internal updater.

Use the user's UserId instead... It's a better way to do it... Also, you say you fixed it, but have all the OnEvent_Initialize stuff happen on the OnEvent_SigninReady event and then, in OnEvent_Initialize, check the user's status to see if they are signed in, if they are, call the OnEvent_SigninReady event from there

If you can get into the menu, go to Manage QuickKey shortcuts... and pick a different one.  If not, start up Registry Editor and locate the key at the following path: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Patchou\Messenger Plus! Live\GlobalSettings\Scripts\QuickKey\Settings\<email>\Hotkeys.  A is 65, B is 66, C is 67 and so on.

Yes I already did that... but there isn't any way you can fix it?

---

After looking over your code I have a few suggestions.

1. Don't use OnEvent_Signin. Instead use OnEvent_SigninReady. This event is fired once the contactlist is fully received from the servers.

All of the (newer) problems/suggestions in this thread have been fixed/added, except for the "press Esc to close" idea, which I don't really know how to go about doing (the menus do have a close option, though)...

What might be a good idea would be to make your own style menu using a Plus! window. Although you cannot dynamically add controls you could in theory rewrite the XML file as a work around or create a bunch of controls and reposition them as needed.

Great my friend but there are new bugs:

1. Installing over previous version got me a wrong key combination... when I checked the settings panel... none of the CTRL/ALT/SHIFT were selected... so I deduced that there aren't declared a default settings after installation. So pressing only Q displayed the menu.

2. Clicking over the tittle gave me this result:

code:

---

Messenger Conversations:
> Show group conversations: false

Messenger Information
> Show contact information: false

Messenger Contact List
> Show offline contacts: false
> Show blocked contacts: false
> Use advanced contact menu: false
> Show contact details: false

Messenger Status
> Show sign-out option: false

Global Options
> Disable menus on lock: false
> Show name, not email: false

I'm considering making a new version of QuickKey that uses Plus! interface windows instead of menus (although I might leave them in as an extra option).  I'll also fix the issue with hotkeys already registered when Messenger crashes.

If anyone has any suggestions on what could be added or improved, feel free to suggest them.

Please do it

See the first post for all the development info! 

Don't get me wrong, it is a very nice script, and I'm sure it has its uses for people. But isn't it a bit shooting way beyond its target/purpose by now?

I mean, iirc it used to be a script which provided some shortcut keys to quickly set statusses.

Now it is a whole bunch of unrelated stuff, with, oh yeah, it still has those hotkey for statusses ability.

It is like calling those half computer/half blackberry like media monsters a 'cell phone': You can do everything with it, even comb your hair with it... and oh, btw, you can also make a phone call with it, I almost forgot...

...If you know what I mean

In short: wouldn't it be better to baptise this as a complete new script, and go back to the roots for 'QuickKey', just providing hotkeys for the statusses and personal statusses?
