Hi!

 

Is there any way to assign global hotkeys in Messenger? I'm currently using both Miranda IM for sending messages and Messenger for Video Chat.

This is not an ideal setup, but I really don't like using the mouse except for internet browsing.

 

The one thing that keeps me from moving from Miranda IM to only Messenger is the fact that I have to use the mouse/alt+tab to Messenger when a message arrives.

In Miranda I only hit CTRL+SHIFT+M (or whatever keys I chose) and the first message in the "inbox" is shown.

 

 

I really really really miss global hotkeys in Messenger, can this be achived with a plugin? If no such plugin exists, would it be possible to write one?

I.e. is there a public API that can be used to achive this logic?

 

Best Regards

Carl Ericsson
