Shoutbox

I am one of those people who doesn't like to close the chat convo window all the time but I also hate the fact that it's so simple to just press the "esc" key to exit the window. And I've been having a bad habit of lately of doing so, even though I like to keep all my chat windows opened.

Anyways, the idea is.. is it possible to assign a single key or perhaps the "esc" key or any other combination to minimize the window instead of closing it?

Something very simple.. I guess?

do u mean all at once (hide them) or  close them cos theres a plugin were the box shuts after 30
seconds

i think this is possible

i'll get to work on it

I can get this in Phoenix in, I don't know, the next 5 minutes?
(Already subclassing the convo windows: I just catch the Esc key and minimise, not letting Messenger get at the message ).

Yeah I press a key and the window is MINIMIZED not closed Msg_Plus_Freak.. I think I said it in my first post.

So how far are you guys getting through with this?

Thanks ALOT for your help guys!

I tried this just now, and for some reason couldn't get it to work. I'll have another look though: probably missing something obvious.

yea i just had a go and it doesn't seem to send any key press events, it must send them to a child window or something

Oh damn.. that's sad to hear.

So does this mean it's not possible? Or are you guys looking at alternative methods at getting this to be done?
