- Channel colors remembered by name, rather than by number
- Scrolling your chat frames with the mouse wheel.

- 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.

- Paging through chat tabs with the scroll wheel

After messaging someone, whenever I try to message someone else it always brings up the previous person. This happens even if I left click someone's name in chat or right click their portrait/click Whisper. Is this a setting somewhere?

Posted Oct 18, 2020This addon is great! I am coming from prat because it hasnt been updated in a long time.
A few things:
1. The ability to use up/down arrow keys to scroll through previous commands or chat lines would be awesome
2. It seems to be missing the ability to change the chat channel prefix for 'say'. I can change all the other ones but that.
3. For player names, I cant get rid of the brackets no matter what I put, or even if I disable that module.

Quick question, do we install your files over our current 1.7.0 official Chatter install, or do we uninstall this Chatter, and instead install yours?
Thanks.

Instead. It just has a few extra bugfixes.

I've tried your version, but now the official addon has been updated for 9.0, so the dev might as well fix this bug too. In your version you ask us to disable the Alt module and Player Names which are pretty much the most important modules for me

Totally up to you! The advice for which modules to turn off is only if you still have problems. The only difference between the two is a few bugfixes.

I'm testing your version too, I really like it that you keep fixing more and more stuff. Why not just become an official maintainer for this project, then? And merge all your fixes too ofcourse.
