Re: [Licq-main] cursor focus
I understand we all have different priorities. Having a chat window with the proper cursor focus is important to me so I took the plunge and made gaim my primary IM client, at least for now. But thanks for making a terrific IM client and one that I've been using for a really long time. I'll be revisiting this decision from time to time as I do many other apps. Good luck on future LICQ development and thanks again! On Sat, 2003-09-13 at 16:03, Thomas Reitelbach wrote: > On Saturday 13 September 2003 19:14, Juan F.

Unfortunately i'm totally busy, i'm currently moving (as well as jon does) and though don't have any free time :( There are some things that are more important with CVS licq but this focus thing is something i wanted to improve a long time ago already... thomas -- email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] IRC: DreamForce on #licq UIN: 75450207 (urgent messages only) pgp0.pgp Description: signature

That is a pain. Now i get it: you are talking about the messageview dialog when talking in chatmode. (i was trying to reproduce in a chat window (panel or irc)). I don't use chatmode messageview, so i can't discuss anything. Thomas? Regards, Juan. -- Buenos Aires, Argentina 12°C with winds at 24 km/h S pgp0.pgp Description: signature
Re: [Licq-main] cursor focus
Hi. Thanks for responding but I guess I didn't make myself clear. When a LICQ chat window is opened, that chat window is raised and has focus. But within that chat window itself the cursor can be in any of several places. Ideally, I would like the cursor focus to be and remain in the *send* window portion of the chat window - that window where your typing is done. For me, it isn't there, it's somewhere else within the chat window meaning that I either have to tab until the cursor is focused correctly or take my hands off the keyboard and move the cursor focus there with the mouse. That is a pain. Just as a test, I installed GAIM. The cursor focus of GAIM's chat window behaves correctly so I don't believe that there's anything wrong with my Window Manager. I'm using a pretty stock version of Red Hat 8, btw. On Fri, 2003-09-12 at 06:36, Juan F.

You can configure that behaviour it from there. It isn't licq bussiness. Regards, Juan. -- Buenos Aires, Argentina 11°C with winds at 18 km/h NW pgp0.pgp Description: signature
