Client Character Control vs. Chat

[althos_tarante]

I am pretty sure my answer to this will be a straight negative, but I want to ask. Can I have either a separate application or a separate application on a separate machine running my chat window? I would like to have the main world window open controlling the character and be able to turn to a different keyboard or switch to a different application to handle my chat. The issue here being click in the chat to get the cursor, then click back out to the environment to get character control. I do 98% of everything with the keyboard and this might simplify my life. Is the answer an IRC client, or is the answer it is not allowed because everything needs to happen in a single instance of the client -- which I would completely understand. I thank you!

Well, requesting a separate chat client is definitely not a Mac specific request

On PCs (Windows and Linux) we can use the Enter key to switch between the chat window and the main window. Should be working on Mac as well. It is not perfect and sometimes doesn't work as expected, but I use it quite often.

You are correct, and I beg your pardon. But I actually could not decide if this should go into General or not, and I did not consider it a problem. I figured someone would move it if they thought it should be elsewhere. I will give a try with using that key for that, I can see why that would work. Thanks!

The Reply Tell button will switch you from the Chat back into the game but NOT if the mouse cursor is hovering over the Chat window already. That's what I see on my Mac, anyways...

The enter key works with the default configuration. If you try to SET it to use the enter key, it gets screwed up. Shall I BT it?
