Well, I can make it so that there is an option to disable hotkeys if you wish.

I'm am going to add a spam protection feature as well I think so that you can only change status so many times per minute using hotkeys.

Added the CoolSwitch feature that windows had (ALT-TAB). It uses WIN KEY+SPACE to cycle forwards and WIN KEY+SHIFT+SPACE to go backwards. At the moment this is not changeable, but may be in the future. (I made some cool graphics for this btw ;))

Any more suggestions whilst I'm still awake?

Enjoy :D
Why not make it so the user needs to press the hotkey he whishes for each status, just like Plus! does in several preferences? It would be much more versatile (and better looking; and wouldn't require that much controls to check/control)....

[Image: attachment.php?pid=759128]

PS: extra exercise (or plain copy/paste if you search for it in one of my scripts ;)): make the text for the statusses just the same as the Messenger language currently in use (aka get them from the language resource; but take in account that the filename differs from version to version).

PS: or you could make it into an very short script and actuall just get the status submenu from messenger and display that as a kind of popup menu (icons and shortcut text inclusive). No need for an extra Plus! window, etc (except for the config of course)

------------------



I don't want to point the finger at everybody, and I understand the  enthusiasm, but please read:

IMPORTANT POINT 1 (FOR EVERYBODY)

PS: Instead of editing and updating all your posts with those new download links each time you have a new version, why don't you instead attach the script to the first post in this thread? No need for editing and updating links in that way.

It is already confussing to people what the latest version is with all those redundant attachments and fogotten-to-update links in your posts.

Goes in general. Whenever you make a thread to release a new script, always, and only attach it to your first post together with the latest description. In that way the only thing you need to do when you have an update is refer to the first post in the thread. No confussion and several versions of a script in a thread anymore in that way...


IMPORTANT POINT 2 (FOR EVERYBODY)

Also, I understand the urge to create a new thread for this script. But please, if you already have posted, attached and discussed this in another thread (A question of plausibility), continue in that thread and do not create a new one...

It is highly annoying to keep track of such chaos for even people who are used to searching/comparing and tracking things, let alone for people who are new to forums...

This goes almost right along the rule "don't make duplicate threads/posts".

Currently, I see 2 threads, with the same suggestions and questions (which is of course what you get when you make another new thread for this) and 4 versions of this script...

If someone requests something and you make it into a script, post it in that same thread, or at least, if you really really want to create a new thread.

FIRST make that new thread and ONLY THEN reply to that other thread with a line like "I have made this for you, see thread blahblah" and ask for a closure (use the report button) of that request-thread...

It should use the hotkey that is currently assigned. For example, lets say I have the hotkey Alt+S assigned to open the window:

Presses Alt+S -> window opens
Presses S again -> listbox scrolls to the next status (down)
Presses S again -> listbox scrolls to the next status (down)
Presses Shift+S -> listbox scrolls to the next status (up)
Releases all keys (but most importantly Alt and S) -> window closes and status is applied

EDIT: Does this script use the RegisterHotKey function or the hotkey messages?

It uses RegisterHotKey and UnregisterHotKey.



Theres is a minor update available that fixes a tiny error with "alternative exiting of the status windows". Also added some little graphical magic
