[dev1005] Please allow us to sort the chat log!

FFXI's chat log had tabs? I haven't played in four years, but when I did, it was nothing but a plain box with scrolling text that you had to manually filter every time you wanted to see something different.

It did. Using "F" to enlarge the chat log then hit "F" again to see only /say, "F" again to see only /tell, "F" again to see only /party and "F" again to see only /linkshell (It's certainly the wrong order but it's the idea ^^).

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).

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.)

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