Quick Contacts plugin

**pescuma** · 5 Jun 2006, 6:21 AM

On pressing an user defined hotkey an dialog pops up where you can enter a contacts name or select it from a combobox and send it messages/files/urls an look at his details.

This is a mod of the Hotkey plugin by micron-x

To be able to set the hotkey you need clist_modern (or some other that implements Hotkeys2), Hotkeys+ or HotkeyService.

Available hotkeys:
- Ctrl-V: Make a voice call
- Ctrl-F: Send file
- Ctrl-U: Send URL
- Ctrl-I: Show userinfo
- Ctrl-H: Open history
- Ctrl-M: Open contact menu
- User defined: Open hotkey dialog
In Miranda 0.8 all this keys can be configured in options.

To report bugs, please create a attache dump using the pdb file (you need to copy to pdb to the same place the dll is)

hello there.
it's very good idea however I think it'd be better if the clist modern has not been required. I was using clist classic for ages and now I finally figured out how to use clist nicer. I don't want to change again. I don't want to say that you're just wasting your time. I would rather point out that according to my knowledge modern is the only clist capable of handling key-strokes.
Keep up the good work.

There is work in progress for a hotkeys service and when that will be finished, this and hopefully other plug-ins will take advantage of it. This way hotkeys will not depend on a specific contact list module anymore.

Yeap, when that service is finished, i intend to add support for it.

@ -pv-
Until there, you want you can use the original plugin by micron-x. It habdles hotkey by itself. You can find it at:

Please, if someone is using it, tell me if there are bugs, because I made all the changes I wanted and I intend to release it in FL in a few days. Thanks.

1. When I press [ENTER] after I found a contact, I'd like it to execute the default action that it does when double-clicked in the list (open a message window with the found contact for IM contacts, or display the local time window for World Time Proto contacts, for example). Currently it doesn't (for me, at least).

2. I wanna be able to select whether the main hotkey (in Hotkeys2) is global or local (Miranda only, meaning any of Miranda's windows should be focused for the hotkey to work).

3. In Plugins > Quick Contacts > Contacts I think it should be "Show offline contacts on these protocols".

Also your eternal issue with "then" and "them" emerges below: "But hide them when protocol is offline". I think this option should be per protocol, because some allow offline messaging and some don't.
While the protocols window is that large, you could add a second column with checkboxes for this function or any other aesthetic way.

4. Automatically disable unavailable functions (don't show the respective icon buttons) for non-IM protocols, such as Weather, World Time, Audio Player, etc.

5. The dropdown list in the user search dialog does not automatically enlarge depending on the [contact + protocol] name, so when contacts have a long name, the protocol name gets chopped off.
