           Summary: Status message text-box in contact list
           Product: kopete
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: unspecified
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Contact list
        AssignedTo: kopete-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: chris at you-th.de


Version:            (using KDE 4.3.3)

It would be cool if kopete would have simple text-box (as pidgin does) where
you can type very easy your current status message without clicking to much
around. One field for status tile and message would be enough - the value could
be used as both: title and message. And  if you click in the icon to change
your status from e.g. "online" to "away" this text-box should be focused so you
can directly set a news status. (but it's value should never be overwritten by
the status' default message is it does in the current version - this makes you
crazy if you e.g. set a link to a youtube video for your friends as status. You
don't want type it again because you just changed from "away" to "online".)
Even a history of status messages would be nice - so that you can directly
select by one click one of the last ten statuses you used ;-)
You see, I'm really in love with status messages but it's not as easy as I
think it could be to set them in kopete.

PS: one little other thing I noticed: some IM clients don't use status message
and status title correctly. Some use just the message and some just the title.
Would it be possible to implement a field in the contact list which displays
both: the status title and the status message in one field - if one field is
empty, the other field may contain some information and should be displayed
there.
