           Summary: 2 high-speed, keyboard-invoked communication methods
           Product: kopete
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: unspecified
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kopete-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: jl at irj.co.za


Version:           0.70.0 (using KDE 4.2.1)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

i still think that we tend naturally to switch between the mouse and keyboard
too often and that gets in the way, so i have some suggestions for high-speed
interaction with contacts:

method 1: kopete chat to who?
===================================

- press some shortcut key (invokes "kopete chat to who?")
- start typing part of the person's name. once there is only 1 match, the
conversation box pops up

it would also be nice if a combination of a modifier key and enter meant send
this message and close immediately eg shift-enter

method 2: kopete recently chatted to..
=======================================

- assign a shortcut key to ("kopete recently chatted to") which pops up with a
list of recently-chatted to people which you just navigate to using your arrow
keys or numbers next to each name eg:

   kopete recently chatted to: _____
      1) bob
      2) jenny
      3) rob
