This will switch back to a chat tab you set as default if the idle timeout, which you are able to set for it, was met.

-LibLoadedAddons

Please download them as standalone! versions and close the game client before/afterwards, restart the game.
Check the description of this addon for further details please.

-Fixed: Settings menu shows language and savemethod (Accoutn wide, each character) again

0.3.5
-Added a keybinding to cycle through the last incoming messages's chat channels at the current chat tab:

-Updated: Security checks for supported chat channels

0.1.9
-Added feature: Option ON/OFF to show chat tab header in light blue color if a message arrived and you were active at another tab.

-Added feature: Also enable whisper message idle time, like the other idle times too
-Added feature: Option to 'Change chat channel to whisper':

0.1.7
-Added feature: Automatically switch the chat channel to the chat channel of the last incoming chat message (if you currently use the chat tab where this chat channel was selected by yourself to be used).

Example:
-Incoming /guild1 message

-Settings to avoid automatic chat tab changes if you are grouped are included!
-Exceptions for grouped + whispers are included as well

-Added feature: Minimize chat on login/zone change/reload
-Updated translations (Many thx to Chou again for the french texts!)

0.0.9c - > 0.1.0
Added "whisper redirect" function: Clean whispering only in 1 chat tab!

If you use several chat tabs, and especially 1 chat tab for your incoming whispers, you will love this new feature:
(o) Choose your whisper chat tab number in the settings (value=0 means "whisper redirect" is disabled!)
(o) If you start a whisper, no matter how you start it, the whisper chat tab will be opened and your message will be send from here

-> Only 1 single chat tab to send and receive your whispers
-> No more started whispers in several different chat tabs, which will need you to manually change the chat channel again (to guild or group e.g.)
-> Simply use ChatTabBrain keybindings to switch through your chat tabs, press RETURN key and start to write in this channel

Will redirect you to the whisper chat tab if you:
-Autocomplete a whisper name by pressing the TAB key, using the mouse or the keyboard UP and DOWN keys to select an auto complete entry
-Reply to an incoming whisper by keybinding
-Start a whisper by using the chat commands
-Start a whisper by using the mouse's right click context-menu (at the guild roster, friends-list etc.)
-Send a new whisper message text

To come:
-Directly switch to whisper chat tab if you left click a player in the chat (currently this will only select his name and if you write the whisper message and press RETURN the whisper channel will be shown)
-Same for the right mouse button context menu at a player in the chat
