I'm confused, the chat box in xi was tabs, so if they implemented the addition of tabs you could have it exactly like xi, but also the ability to customize each one

Two problems.

1. The first is that customization as it stands doesn't always work. Specifically, I keep one frame set to my "General" tab, which has nearly everything going to it (It excludes Party, Linkshell, and a number of battle and synthesis options that are too spammy to leave on at all times). When I accept local levequests, it will show the message "You have received the required materials", but will not show the "You may accept X more local levequests at this time".
   
   However, if I change that frame to the second tab (which contains no social text, but all battle and most synthesis and gathering text, and includes System Messages but not System Error Messages), the "X more levequests" message will appear there and then when I switch back to the first tab, it will properly appear on that tab, as well.
   
   It could well be happening with other messages, as well, but as I'm not expecting them to appear as I am with this particular levequest message, I don't know to look for them to note their absence.
   
   
   
2. In XIV, I can't switch tabs using my keyboard as I can in XI. I'm sure this is a non-issue for a great number of people, but I would be very surprised to find that I'm the only one who does rely on keyboard controls as their most efficient means of performing such tasks.

These points may seem minor, and it's easy to respond that "I'm sure it will be fixed", but until they actually have been fixed, they will remain concerns for me.
