are there any keybinds or commands to manage multiple WIM windows? for instance /r replies to the last person that whispered me, but the text that I woudl be typing still shows in default blizzard chat and not on the WIM window. If I want to select a WIM window I have to manually click on it to "enable" the text field on that window. So I'm wondering if there are shortcuts or commands to make it fast to scroll through multiple windows.
Also how can I stack multiple windows and turn them into the tab mode (1 window, multiple tabs for diff conversations)?
Hello, when sending tells in Korean language WIM doesn't work. Is it possible to add the Korean font?

In reply to NiGhTwAlKeR559:
This one has popped up before... If I remember correctly, it was a module or setting in ElvUI that is attempting to modify WIM in some way (maybe its own skin?) that is breaking it.
In reply to RealPazza: Hi, any solution to my problem ? thanks :D

EDIT: Update fixed the issue! Thank you!
Hello! Sorry if there was a post about update being on the way - I didn't spot any, but I am currently getting these errors (I don't have any other addon enabled currently). This pops whenever I try to move the icon/symbol for the addon, cause currently it's not staying locked in its position and keeps wandering around on the screen:

In reply to Merella: Hey! Just letting you know, that the update fixed the issue! Thank you! 💜WIM is one of my favourite addons to use, so great work!
Everytime I login to WoW, since the beginning of classic, my minimap button resets its position. I have had to move it everytime I login.
Hey,
I've been having a recent issue with WIM, and it happened quite randomly.
Usually when I would get whispered, my wow tab would flash up in orange to notify me when I'm out of the game and doing something else. Now it wouldn't inform me anymore. I've tried to pinpoint if other addons were an issue, but it's solely WIM doing it. Do you have any idea what it may be?
In reply to Silvanoire:
Are you using an addon called Flash Taskbar? Its possible since WIM now uses Blizzards MessageEventFilters to block delivery to the default chat frame.
What are you using for the flashing? maybe I can preserve support of it.
In reply to Silvanoire:
Never mind, I see why it isn't working and I will add a patch for that.
In reply to RealPazza: Thank you so much for responding so quickly, I can't imagine how busy you must be. It's only a small issue for me, but it does help when I'm occupied outside of the game. (and yes I do not use flash taskbar), but I see you already saw the problem. Can I ask when the patch will be released? (no pressure)
In reply to Silvanoire: it should be working in the latest update?
Hello, whenever I try to right click copy a character's name a I get an error. Am I doing something wrong?
I use ElvUI and global chat channel names used to be in short form [1], [2], [3] etc. now it has full name e.g. [2. Trade - City]. WIM is causing it - how can I fix it?
In reply to whtswg: try the beta, see if it fixes your problem.
In reply to RealPazza: beta fixed the problem, ty!
Is there anything I can do so that when I have WIM activated, it does not overwrite the ElvUI setting of not showing the Chat Names and just the Channel Number?
I'm playing Cata Classic and this is only once I activate WIM. I have also disabled all World Channel settings in WIM.
In reply to Nefaros: try the beta, let me know if that fixes the problem
