O.P. Tabbed chats, alt + tab
Well, I love the tabbed chats, its flawless
But, out of habbit I always use "alt + tab" once or twice to change the window before I realise its ctrl + page up/down. I was just wondering if you would be willing to allow the option to select our own keyboard shortcut like boss protection?
If not I can just make a quick program to intercept all alt + tab messages and then sendkeys ctrl + page up.
Thanks for your time, .Norma

Ya, I use alt+tab all the time, and it would be great if you could still switch between convo's with it.

RE: Tabbed chats, alt + tab
Isn't it gonna somewhat "mess" the original intention of alt+tab, which is to change the focus between applications?
I personally prefer F7 and F8, just like I use to change between tabs in Avant Browser.
But F8 has been assigned for closing the convo.

RE: Tabbed chats, alt + tab
You can use Ctrl+Tab, Ctrl+Shift+Tab and Ctrl+Alt+Tab to navigate easily and quickly in your various tabbed chats. It seems to be the standard pretty much nowadays (and that's what most beta testers requested).

Oh damn Patchou, you beat me too it . Yeah use Ctrl + Tab or Ctrl+Shift+Tab. Patchou has made it like this due to the fact that other software uses similiar methods (eg FireFox) so it is more user friendly .
Remember to read the changelog for more information about new features in msgplus as theres usually lots of tips there for these sort of things

RE: Tabbed chats, alt + tab
The instant you trap Alt+Tab and change it to Ctrl+Tab is when you get users complaining that Plus! breaks Alt+Tab. So it's always better to stick to convention.
