EDIT: Sorry trinta, we answered at the same time (I took quite a long time to write my post though >.>)

No worries, I didn't know you could use "F" to scroll through them in XI, so I learned something! I've always used the numberpad's Enter and + keys.

(And not that anyone asked, but I also separate my chat into one frame and system/combat info into another, but that's a standard for me in any game that has customizable chat features.)

Yea and that's what lacks in FFXIV, a way to move from tab to tab without the mouse for those who don't play with one. It's not handy to pick the mouse each time yu want to see a tab. So I did two windows with only one tab in each. Chat modes in one and game info in the other one (I think that's what Xatsh did too).

Ah, I'm a keyboard/mouse player, so I want multiple tabs I can click on. I'm glad it's coming!

In the XI interface, you can press "Enter" to enlarge your chat box to full screen, and then use the "+" key on the keyboard's number pad to switch between the general, party, linkshell, and tell tabs. I didn't start playing XI until last January, so I don't know how it compares to what was in place four years ago.

so like i say its not the fundemental idea of the ffxiv tabs/windows you dont like but the fact that you cant add extra tabs and you cant do it with controller/keyboard, which I agree is a pain, but the overal concept is much better with full customization. Alot of people asked for multiple windows which is what was given.

Then it was a pleasure to at least help someone.

That's a good thing to know how to sort chats otherwise you can be submerged by the flow of information and lose all the fun that FFXIV struggles to offer for now.

Also need extended chat history. After about 10 synths everthing is gone
