Please read this.

I'm taking another break for a while. My anxiety isn't holding up well and I need to take some time for myself to recover. Frankly, modding can be a thankless job and some of the people one is forced to interact with can be... deeply unpleasant at best, to put it in the kindest way I can and not as I truly want to. For now, I feel like my mods don't need any further work done to them. They're fine as they are. See you later, folks.

I'll be back! I'm not gone for good, I just need to set this aside for now. That's all.

One thing I will say as a final note is that it'd be nice if one could turn off the comments system and only have a bug tracker in the vein of Nexus Mods. That'd be handy for people like myself who do deal with anxiety. And I deal with a lot of anxiety.

See you around, folks. My thanks to those who were kind.

Description

Update!: Let's call this the Unflark the Chat Edition update. Not that this mod flark'd the chat, but the chat was really flark'd in general, you guys. I've gone about fixing things up as best I can because it was driving me insane.

This is a very simple little mod (with a very tiny resource footprint) that fixes chat-related UI bugs and provides key bindings for hiding and showing the chat window.

Features

Show & Hide

There are now key bindings for showing and hiding the chat window. This feature will also properly account for the chat tabs. So you won't see chat tab text randomly popping up when the chat window is minimised, and the chat tabs will still properly show if you unhide the chat in a means other than via this addon (such as hitting enter with it hidden, or esc with it shown).

Scroll Bar Unflark'd

The scroll bar will now always show if you move your mouse cursor into the window, at all other times it will hide.

This fixes: Sometimes the scroll bar wouldn't show until you entered text or tried to resize the chat window.

Scroll Position Unflark'd

You can now scroll up and down throughout the log with ease, if you scroll up in the log it won't snap back down to the bottom if there are new entries, but if you scroll back down yourself (once you're done) it'll continue to move down to show new lines as normal.

This fixes: The chat window impertinently struggling with you; You would want to scroll down, it would want to hide text from you. Very irritating.

Disclaimer

I'm sharing this though because I genuinely get satisfaction out of the mere possibility of helping others, even when I don't know for sure. I have no interest in being popular, cults of popularity squick me out. As such, considering my disabilities, I'm unlikely to look at the comments very much. So this addon is delivered as-is, with a hearty dose of caveat emptor. Anything that it doesn't already do is 'out of scope.' You have other choices. I just wanted to make an simple, elegant solution for a real problem I was having. And now I'm sharing it in case it helps others.
