But there is point I really hate (i really, really don’t understand why it hits me *today* ??? after i’ve filled the survey) : when the chat is opened and i Alt-Click to move my camera, the “Press Ctrl-Enter or click to chat” appears and chat looses focus. I’m debugging a script in the sky, i adjust carefully my camera to see what’s happening, and when i speak to say “first” to the script, focus goes the flying avatar which F……alls !

I thinks focus rules are complex enough to NOT add automatic focus change. A camera movement is not a focus to avatar. And sorry, but the semantics is fuzzy. When focus goes to av, the chat box is closed. That’s what i’ve learned from the UI. Chat window closed, focus to av. Chat window opened, focus to chat. We all love simple and easy to retain things. So what is an opend chat window with a greyed message? A half-opened chat? That makes no sense to me.

A last thing. Please do that from chat closed:

Enter -> chat opened
Ctrl-Enter -> chat closed

Enter -> chat opened
Alt-Click to move camera
Ctrl-Enter -> chat opened (or closed)
Ctrl-Enter -> chat closed

No sense again. I’ve to remember that the chat was half opened (ore half closed) to know that i have to Ctrl-Enter twice, or Enter Ctrl-Enter to close it. Way to complex. This, added with the number of times i’ve triggered a change of display resolution (Macintosh) hitting Alt-Enter instead of Ctrl-Enter, makes that i revert now to the main version. I appreciate greatly the efforts you make to improve the UI, but the solution as now is not workable for me.

Ctrl-Enter open/close chat field, leaving content intact, switching rapidly between chat focus and avatar focus. Ok. Like it, because it makes my chats more correct (i really don’t have the time to find the pointer, move it to chat and click. Way too long). I don’t leave anymore typos go out. Just a small detail: the insertion point is lost.

Enter open chat field when closed. That’s intuitive, and what wa are used to.

Enter when chat field empty does nothing. What I’m waiting is: Enter toggles chat on and off, with focus to chat. Huge problem here: opening/closing chat is now (Enter, Ctrl-Enter). And on the Macintosh keyboard, Shift is side to Alt, and Alt-Enter is Change Resolution, an slow and horrible experience. Hit me about five times, then reverted to main version. Is there a reason why Enter on empty chat should not close it, or did I missed something?

Here we have:
(Enter, Ctrl-Enter) toggles chat on/off
Ctrl-Enter toggles focus in/out.

What I would like to retain:
Enter toggles chat on/off.
Ctrl-Enter toggles focus in/out.

Simple, straightforward.

I’ve noticed a lot of improvments in floaters focus handling. It’s a pretty weird beast in the UI world, but you are on the way to better ergonomics. Thanks for the good work.
