Making a hotkey to put your status on the default away setting would be great

It's a good idea, especially when you need to get that message up before a certain someone sends you a message :).

HotKey for away presents the same problem the HotKey to pop up the buddy list window is currently posing - how can it work with multiple instances of AIM? Any HotKey, in either situation, would affect all instances of AIM currently running ...
How would you want / expect a buddy list or away HotKey to work when you have multiple instances of AIM open?

well, since we now can turn cloning off, perhaps these hotkeys users request will only work if the user turns cloning off. Just an idea, I really do not need the hotkey's built into AIM+.

The turning cloning off option only half turns cloning off :).
If you have the option enabled to "disable cloning," running AIM+ again will popup the buddy list, as in past versions of AIM+ or when running AIM without AIM+. However, you can still create clones by clicking the create clone option on the + button on the buddy list or in the AIM+ dropdown in any chat window. We figured with this option, people could create clones when they like, but wouldn't have to worry so much about the undesired clones they kept accidentally starting.
So to make a long story short, I don't think enabling HotKeys when cloning is disabled would work in the current system.

oops, I was not aware that even with that check box checked that clones were still a possibility. So, I guess my idea can be voided.

I would make the away hot key for every instance of aim+, you need to get away fast with a hot key, but you probably don't need to get back as fast...

hot key for away message = great idea!
Posted: Fri Jun 14, 2002 4:47 pm
a possible solution, I think is that you could have one hot key that will only set the default away message for the currently active AIM window and another hot key that will set all instances of AIM to away
