O.P. Hotkey - Show msg window?
Is it possible to add a hotkey to "show the msg window"? Like ALT+Z only for MSN msg window instead of use ALT+TAB thing! I use tabbed windows and only need a hotkey to that chat window.

RE: Hotkey - Show msg window?
You want a hotkey to open up your chat window? That seems awfully pointless to be honest... If you're referring to switching between tabs you can already use Ctrl+Tab.

I still have no idea what you're trying to achieve, but good job.

O.P. RE: Hotkey - Show msg window?
Volv: If you have about 5-20 apps open, it takes time for you to change with CTRL+Tab? I have a keyboard shortcut key that always is only for msn, that's better in my opinion, and of course it's faster. The hotkey open the active window.
I can also use it to open windows that are not active, like if I wan't to write a message to someone and I don't use tabs, it scrolls the windows for me fast.
I made a hotkey script to show the contact list to, works great.

I think you meant it takes times with ALT+Tab, right? Because Ctrl+Tab is generally for switching between tabs of one window.

RE: Hotkey - Show msg window?
If you don't use tabs then just use your mouse to click on whichever chat you wish to select from the taskbar, there's no need for a hotkey

djdannyp: "...there's no need for a hotkey." There is! See other IM clients like Miranda, they have it to.

The whole point of a shortcut key is that you don't need to move the mouse.
Although MS should really think of Implementing a method of switching between chat windows I guess.
