[sugg/req] live message preview plugin

[NoWhereMan]

I think nobody will ever *consider* starting working at this, but however I'll tell you.

I think it's impossible having emoticons being replaced as you type right in the textbox of your chat window; anyway I suppose it would be possible having a second panel on top (or bottom) of the message field, which would show how your message will appear once sent (complete of emoticons), updated as you type (or on idle, as you stop typing).

I think it is theorethically possible, but I don't have time nor I am into tcl/tk (and aMSN) enough to even *think* about implementing that. I've just tried to see how DualDisplayPicture hooked the window and I decided to forget my idea so I'm just telling you; maybe some nice person will want to try

Hmm, I don't like the "extra" window at all. What a waste of screen space.
Your first option is a better idea, like is done in the original client.
This is not at all impossible, but yeah, not easy and does not have high
priority I guess, sorry.

it would be quicker to implement

If this ever gets done... Make it an option to immediate replace or keep the textual form.
Sometimes, it is easier to copy-paste the smilies (smiley spam )

[kakaroto]

well, I think it can be done pretty easily soon... I'm currently working on a plugin called 'lisher', which should replace your text on the fly with non-english chars.. like

Code:

/japlish ohayo
/greeklish kalimera
/arblish salam

etc...
and it would replace the text in japanese, greek and arabic characters. it now works for some languages but I want to add a 'on the fly' mode, that would help for later use in the plugin NWM is suggesting...
I'll keep you posted (as always)

I don't speak arabic, but if you want correct spelling in the original language, you'd need ohayou for japanese and kalhme'ra for greek

[kakaroto]

yes, it is 'ohayou' for japanese, and who cares about greeklish? :p
for arabic, it also won't work, but I'm willing to do another 'dialectal arabic' for that kind of talk, with the '3' and '7' and 'k' vs 'kh' etc... so that it will work fine with the phonetical speaking...
/me understands myself...
