Posted Dec 19, 2025Is there a way to make it work while in housing edit mode? I keep missing whispers or having to leave edit mode to respond to people. I may be missing a setting or something. Thanks for the awesome addon! I can't live without it. <3

Posted Dec 18, 2025Fix for Mailbox/AutoComplete Enter Key Issue
If you are experiencing the issue where pressing Enter to select a name in the Mailbox (or other non-whisper frames) opens a WIM window, here is a manual fix.
1. Open the file: Interface\AddOns\WIM\Modules\WhisperEngine.lua
2. Search for the function: hooksecurefunc("AutoCompleteButton_OnClick", function(self) (around line 872).
3. Add the following 3 lines of code right after the local target = ... line:
if (editBox and editBox.chatType ~= "WHISPER" and editBox.chatType ~= "BN_WHISPER") then
return;
end
Full Context:
hooksecurefunc("AutoCompleteButton_OnClick", function(self)
local autoComplete = self:GetParent();
local editBox = autoComplete.parent;
local target = self.nameInfo and self.nameInfo.name and safeName(_G.Ambiguate(self.nameInfo.name, "none")) or nil;
-- [Added Code]
if (editBox and editBox.chatType ~= "WHISPER" and editBox.chatType ~= "BN_WHISPER") then
return;
end
-- [Added Code end]
-- handle the whisper interception
if (target and db and db.enabled) then
-- ... rest of the code

Posted Dec 11, 2025Since today's update I get messaged in the chat when someone whispers me through both Battle-Tag and regular characters ingame.
It looks like this, I hope it can help to check if something is wrong there:
lastTell="|Kp32|k
lastTellType:"BN_WHISPER"

Posted Dec 11, 2025In reply to RealPazza: I'm not sure what this player is referring to but latest alpha file 3.14.0-2-ga.. breaks our ability to /inv playername on Mists Classic.
Instead the addon seems to intercept the slash command prematurely and opens a frame with "Unable to shisper '%s'. Blizzard services may be unavailable"

Everytime I reply to a message in a whisper window by pressing R, it shows ''LastTell='' in my /s chat window. I don't know how to fix that. Sorry for not being clear, I thought it was a general issue.

Posted Dec 10, 2025Up until now i could open a whisper window and click a macro to send a text to the active window. Since wednesday it the text is just send to /s instead of the whisper window. any idea what changed or how to fix that?
For those asking i use it mainly to whisper folks that want something crafted. Normaly i click their name, wim window opens and i click my macro with my text and it was send to them. but now its kinda borked

I think I understand and know what might have broken that... Seems like an edge case. I will see if not fully resetting the default edit box after intercept would fix that.
