Hmm... It might be possible for me to make a plugin that would let you configure keyboard shortcuts to copy the current text from the conversation, save it and then get it back again using another keyboard shortcut.. this way you could copy/paste multiple texts... I'm not sure if it's possible for me to read what's written in the text area.. But another solution for your problem could also just be: Ctrl + A, Ctrl + C, Type new text, send it, Ctrl + V... your problem will be solved????...

A) I think this can't be done with a plugin (the extra tab that is)

B) The plugin would also require keystrokes to be activated, hence it isn't a solution at all.

C) You can easly use copy/paste shortcuts to obtain what you want like (CyBeRDuDe) said.

And if you find it hard to use the letters (A, C, V) because you need your two hands, or need to move your hands to much you can use the navigation keys above your arrow keys.

eg:
You're writing: "Hello, my name is may73....."
Your contact asks: "How old are you?"
You can easly answer by:
* <HOME><SHIFT+END><CTRL+INS> (this will select and copy everything you've written so far)
* Write your answer: "I'm 15 years old" and press <ENTER>
* <SHIFT+INS> (this will paste back your previous writing in to the typing area)

In this way you only have to use your right hand. And it wouldn't even move that much while doing it. It is an extremely fast way, if you are used to it. Also, when you are used to using such keyboard shortcuts you'll notice that you can navigate and use Windows much much faster then with a mouse only...

note: <CTRL+INS> and <SHIFT+INS> often also work in places and programs where <CTRL+C> and <CTRL+V> don't.

I made somethin real quick just to show (see attachment).

I missed a button out that I can't be bothered to change just now, and I wanted to rename the 'copy' button something more suitable.

Ok explanation, whilst typing normal you type away la di da, then you get this other message and dont want to delete everything you say, so you press a button (the one I forgot to put in) UNDER the 'Send' button, which sends the text you were inputting to the box next to it.

When you're ready to resume typing that text, you press the other button (in this case 'Copy' (you see why I wanted to rename it)) and it sends the text back to the main typing field.

Is this what you meant?

Well, that can't be done with a decent plugin or something like that though. And it wont be added by MSN Messenger either because something like this will not very often be used. Idea is nice, but not practible IMO.

(like CyBeRDuDe and I said, learn to use the keyboard, it would be 10 times faster then using your mouse or any other plugin/addon/something)
