In reply to Genni84:
It is a feature of prat. by default WoW blocks the arrow keys so it doesn't interfere as much with your game place. You can navigate the edit box by using the ALT+Arrow Keys

Thanks!
Hi! Thanks for this addon, is really great to organize whispers and trade chat for the selling crafting process in DF :)
I just want to let you know that I have an error on the trade window. I've setted WIM to show trade channel on a different WIM window but when I leave the city it gives me an error on the WIM window "Invalid channel name" and re-entering the city won't join Trade channel back again.
I have to logout and login and type "/join Trade" to be able to see trade channel again.
I've found a bug report on prat addon similar to the same issue. maybe it can help? :)

In reply to 2BOnest:
I believe this is not an error of WIM. WIM doesn't handle the joining of channel. I tested leaving and entering cities with only WIM enabled and I don't seem to be getting this error.

cant link items in a message
In reply to JaidyEU:
I am getting this same error when I trying to link my own Lariat. II can link other items the lariat is the only one I have found so far that doesn't work. Was there ever a fix mentioned?
I have lost the ability to assign a keybind to show/hide the WIM window, I had one set and accidentally changed it, but I cannot find the options in the keybind settings again. Seems to have gone away after the UI updates with Dragonflight. Is this known or am I having some other issue? I loved having a keybind to show/hide WIM windows.
This addon, while great, is always out of date.... why?
In reply to verdict0224:
Because it was created by and maintained by someone who no longer plays the game -- you're welcome ;-)
In reply to RealPazza:
hi, how can I search for player’s ID on history? I only can search for whisper content.
In reply to 陳宜庭:
I have to refresh my familiarity with real ids... from what I remember, we don't actually have access to the names themselves. They get a special tag that when shown in chat, the game translates into the name itself. So in that regard I don't think it'd be possible to search. I'd have to dig into that more though. BNET has always been a PITA.
In reply to RealPazza:
is possible to add some like pin to history? it's hard to find who talk to me before...
In reply to RealPazza:
Great big thank you! I've used WIM since 2008 and can't imagine WoW without it. Not related but I've been banging my head against this for a while. Is there a way to pin a message window so that it would only go away if you hit the minimize button? I've got mine set so they don't disappear during combat and what not. They always hide themselves when I
hit escape(turns out I'm an idiot on this one), go through a loading screen, and a couple of other things.@verdict0224, have you looked at the files tab here? WIM gets regular updates several times a month. Does it get updated as quickly as ElvUI, Bagnon, BarTender, Plater, WeakAuras, etc.? Maybe not. However, it gets updated frequently enough that you should never experience significant roadblocks that would impede your enjoyment of the addon.
Again, thank you for maintaining this addon. I remember when it was abandoned and I had to clear frequent bugs and /reload when the UI errors it caused messed with the game.
*Edit* Grammar and a factual correction.
In reply to avasture:
:-) Thanks for that. If you have any bugs or requests post them at github. Its a lot easier to keep track of and communicate than it is in the comments.
Any idea how to fix the issue of people not beable able to Click item links when whispering them? People are always asking me to link them weapons that i crafted, but they are never abel to click them to see the tooltip. This only happens when I am using WIM. I dont get any LUA errors though.
Hi there & ty for such a great addon. I am still getting an error if I happen to use WiM messaging and am messaging a friend. When I type into any of WoW's searches like my Pet journal or Gchat to copy a toons name the error warning of needing to disable WiM comes up and it will not allow me to copy toons name or search :(. I also cannot right click a Bpet to put it into my journal without getting this error of being blocked and it says Wim has blocked this action that is only available to Blizzard UI. I have turned off all other addons to make sure its not another with it but it still does this. It only does it though if I have been chatting with someone else using WiM then I cant do anything else. Thanks
I know if I have a window up, I can review the history, how do I access / view history of a player or group later on once the window(s) have been closed?
In reply to bigjdve:
/wim history or via the Minimap / Broker button menu
I occassionally get thiserror:
I get this error too (16x in current session):
Does WIM has an internal spellchecker or no? Long time a user and I really don't know if has or not. Thanks a lot for the addon and clarification :-)
