Chatter
Chatter is a comprehensive, lightweight, mega-configurable chat enhancement addon. It supports a whole bunch of stuff, including:
- Hiding buttons
- Custom aliases for channel names
- Coloring of player names by class or deterministic HSV formula, and player levels next to names
- Custom font and font size for your chat frames
- Custom background, border, and positioning for the edit box
- 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 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.
- Chat Tab look-n-feel modifications
- Paging through chat tabs with the scroll wheel
By default it's not possible to send them, hence this 'workaround'
I was wondering if this mod has a feature in it to filter out 'keywords' from general or trade channels? For example, if someone says in general, "LFM VOA" or "LF Scribe" that if I had the keywords, "VOA or Scribe" listed it would alert me somehow. There use to be a mod like this called trinity chat, but it died out.
Would you or anyone else have an idea what mod would allow of keyword filter alerts? Thanks so much!

Having a problme with chat links. when some opens a link in a chat other then trade it will NOT display even though i have it turned on. any help would be cool thanks and yes the other who are linking or i am link to we all use the chatter and we are all having the same issue we cant see each others links
I have started using this addon recently and most of the features are great, easily configurable and largely self-explaining.
Though there is one function I would like to use, but could not figure out how it works: the "recording" or "auto-logging".
Is there some documentation I could read on this or could someone explain how it is supposed to work?
Best regards.

Having had a look at the log, I have a new question though: would it be possible to allow logging only a selected set of channels or only what displays on a specific chat tab?
The reason behind this request is that when I try to record a conversation inside a capital city, with all the rubbish goldspam, "rush" requests and "group/guild" misplaced requests on the Commerce channel, editing the resulting log becomes a titanesque job :).
Best regards.

Replace in function mod.GetMainName() from AltNames.lua line 134:
local alt = _G[UIDROPDOWNMENU_INIT_MENU].name
with
local alt = UIDROPDOWNMENU_INIT_MENU.name
We have a channel setup for our healers in raid, and I linked an item into it. Everyone else in the channel reported that it just showed up as a bunch of numbers (I assume item ID).
I tried the same thing later on in a whisper to someone, same results.
Linking items/skills is something done fairly frequently, so this may end up forcing me to revert back to normal chat, or find another similar addon.
Any ideas??
I would just like to know if there is any way to disable paging through chat tabs with the scroll wheel? I have my main attack spells bound to scroll wheel with modifiers ofc, so I often find myself paging through the chat tabs like a maniac when raiding which can have a bad effect at critical times, so it would be great to be able to disable this.
Also I love the idea of being able to have visible chat tabs with chatter and be able to change the border and background textures. If you can add an option to do this, it would be close to perfect ;)
local alt = _G[UIDROPDOWNMENU_INIT_MENU].name
with
local alt = UIDROPDOWNMENU_INIT_MENU.name
The internal Blizzard function seems to be buggy atm.
