Lets you choose between several editbox styles (see the second image)

People might find this scroll function handy:

function scroll(chatframe, y)
if ( y > 0 ) then
if IsShiftKeyDown() then
chatframe:ScrollToTop()
else
chatframe:ScrollUp()
end
elseif (y < 0 ) then
if IsShiftKeyDown() then
chatframe:ScrollToBottom()
else
chatframe:ScrollDown()
end
end
end

It will go to the bottom of the chat log if you hold down shift and scroll with the mousewheel.

Also this one, it'll let you edit your sentences with the arrow keys, instead of turning around your toon.

e:SetAltArrowKeyMode(nil)

Exactly. While holding ALT it's possible to move cursor with arrow keys. Without ALT, you'll just turn around.

Only thing missing then is, to show the scroll-to-bottom button when i have scrolled up, to not miss something important because i forgot to scroll down and can't sdee anywhere that i am not at the bottom. To go immediately to the bottom and not have to scroll down again all the way. [/b]

I second this request, maybe not button but shift + scroll will take you to very bottom of chat.

Please make short general channel names optional too, because some people (like me) don't like that feature. Well it's your decision anyways.

EVERYONE borrows code on any mod that is re-written, re-coded, re-vamped, or improved. Even if you tried to re-write the entire thing, it still shades the original works of SOMEONE, perhaps even someone's code that you never looked at.

People need to over themselves! Honestly.

Code is freebased, and unless your addon actually INCLUDES the GPL (General Public License or whatever its called) embedded in each file associated, then you shouldn't be complaining about it. Perhaps it's in good taste to ask first, and to an extent I agree (although even I hardly do so prior to recoding some of mine - I just give credit to the authors as anyone should), but claiming something as *YOURS* is asinine at best.

jaliborc did give semi-credit under his "Based In" heading. I feel he should have stated that as a "Credit To" category instead, and include the addon name AND authors of the original works he did research on before coding his own project. But IMHO, that's all he *has* to do.

Industrial and Tekkub, both of you are better than this. I'm very disappointed in both your reactions as they seem overly confrontational. If your both just f'ing around, then I apologize for my tongue lashing here.

Most people don't care if you use a little of there code as long as you ask them first, it's about being polite and asking them first so they don't find out a week later you grabbed a bunch of stuff without asking.

Oh also, MEMORY IS USELESS just because you use 1 byte of memory doesn't mean your mod performs better then the one that uses 200 KB.

Someone's a little slow. I can't talk for indie (yes he's really an ass), but people should know by now that I do not believe in copyrights at all.

However I will point out that "unless your addon actually INCLUDES the GPL" is wrong. The author retains the copyright no matter what unless they explicitly state that they are forfeiting that right. Open source or not, if you can prove you wrote it first, the copyright is yours. Hell first thing I learned in my engineering design class was "even if you're just sketching ideas on a napkin at a bar, sign and date it. I [the instructor] have actually used those napkins in court... and no judge in his right mind will question the authenticity of a sketch drawn on a bar coaster."

I do still think the addon name blows and should be renamed though.
