Shoutbox

Hello people!

I've searched this forum, but could not find a topic that answers my question, so sorry if it has been asked before...

I am searching for a list of MsgPlus!'s keyboard shortcuts.
If there is no such a thing, as a "complete list", post here whatever you know, and I will update my post to make some kind of list of it.

For now on, I'm particularly interested in shortcuts for grouped chats ((de)attaching chat windows, etc), but it would also be nice to see if there are any other sweet things you could do quickly, by pressing a couple of keys!

If you know handy keyboard shortcuts of WML, post them too!

There once was a list of keyboard shortcuts used by the Messenger Plus! 3.xx versions on the old website, but there hasn't been any such list in the help section of the new Messenger Plus! Live website (or I seriously need to get some glasses ).

- for a list of keyboard shortcuts for Messenger Plus! 3.xx, see msgplus.net (Wayback Machine)

I compiled a list of keyboard shortcuts from the changelogs and the old website, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's still missing some shortcuts:

As for keyboard shortcuts for Windows Live Messenger, I haven't seen any up-to-date list yet. Sunshine once linked to a list of keyboard shortcuts for MSN Messenger, some of them might still work:

You can't (un)group chat windows to a tabbed window in Messenger Plus! Live anymore, now all you can do is either use tabbed chats or don't use them at all.

Ok, thanks, it's quite strange than that website tells this:

[...] you might find tabbed conversations useful for organizing your chats by converting a myriad of windows into a simple single one. [...] You can also use tabs to group just some special chats and keep all the rest in normal windows if you want.

But thanks for info and other shortcuts anyways

This ain't actually a keyboard shortcut on itself, but a handy tip of using keyboard in WLM:
When WLM's main window (contact list) is activated, and you want to search for a contact in your list, you do not have to focus the search bar -- just start typing the name or e-mail address of the contact you need, and when the contact shows up as the first in the list, just hit Enter -- the conversation window will be opened, and WLM will automatically return to it's normal view.

(Such a handy detail is not typical for Microsoft products).
