- Option to let the edit box border color match the color of the channel you are typing in
- Channel colors remembered by name, rather than by number
- Scrolling your chat frames with the mouse wheel.
- Sticky channels, configurable
- Ability to copy a chat frame's contents to your clipboard
- Ability to copy URLs to your clipboard
- Ability to customize the background and border of your chat frames
- Timestamps
- A /tt command to send a tell to your target
- A module that turns the word "invite" into clickable links that let you invite the speaker.
- Highlights, both for custom keywords and when things are said in specific channels
- Chat fading toggles
- Text justification
- Autologging (Off by default)
- Alt linking
- Much larger and smaller chat frames than default
- A Groupsay (/gr) command to talk to your group, whether that's battleground, raid, or party.

    I fear this addon is abandoned, but: for some weeks now (or, probably since 4.3, but I only noticed it since I transfered my main back to my old server&guild) the automatic alt detection somehow also works the other way around, for mains, it shows some alt as the "main". Might be the last alt alphabetically, leading me to think there is some table mixup, but I couldn't find anything in the code. Also ignores manually setting a blank main, after some time it shows the alt again.

    Hi, I found that I disable the option "Use Alt key for cursor movement", but it doesn't work for new whisper frame or RealID frame (If we set whisper or RealID showing in new chat frame.), I still need pressing Alt key for cursor movement.(But it works fine on default chat frame.)

    I used to be able to put the "enter chat" line (on the bottom by default) on the top of the chatbox. I had to clean reinstall and I cannot find an option for that again. Sure it's just an overlook but what is it called and where?

    Until a further update is released, if you're having a problem with Real ID messages being displayed, go into Chatter settings and disable the Player Names module.

    Hello everyone.. I'm not sure if this would be considered broken or just the way it should work now.. but since Chatter's update after Blizz changes to chat frames, I can't move the Chat Tabs up or down anymore, through the Button Height in chat tabs module. It works only for General, but any other tab gets cut off if moved past the original button height.

    It has been quite an issue for me, without that option my chat tabs are behind other pieces of my UI.

    Regards, WoLf

    Hey there, I was wondering if there is a way to disable highlights in specific channels. I love the highlight feature, but I don't want it popping up at me in a channel i don't care about because my keyword is part of a word someone said.

    Since tickets are not currently being looked at, will point out ticket 220 here ("wrong hooking of ChatFrame_MessageEventHandler") (I assume that 4.0.6 has changed things a bit).

    And a different problem in WoW 4.0.6 (only) I have experienced here: Chatter's ChatScroll.lua module is tainting.

    Chatter v1.2.9-3-6-g77a2a26, the following shows up in taint.log:

    2/14 20:15:23.406 Global variable InterfaceOptionsSocialPanelChatMouseScroll_SetScrolling tainted by Ace3 - Interface\AddOns\Ace3\AceHook-3.0\AceHook-3.0.lua:245 hook() 2/14 20:15:23.406 Interface\AddOns\Ace3\AceHook-3.0\AceHook-3.0.lua:325 RawHook() 2/14 20:15:23.406 Interface\AddOns\Chatter\Modules\ChatScroll.lua:53 2/14 20:15:23.406 xpcall() 2/14 20:15:23.406 safecall Dispatcher[1]:9 2/14 20:15:23.406 Interface\AddOns\Ace3\AceAddon-3.0\AceAddon-3.0.lua:514 InitializeAddon() 2/14 20:15:23.406 Interface\AddOns\Ace3\AceAddon-3.0\AceAddon-3.0.lua:628

    Variations on the last two errors above repeat many (many) times all at the same time, creating a taint.log 62kb in size.
