The reason for this is because I am trying to make a script that will hide passwords as they are being typed by the user. Currently the only way I can do this is to have a timer and an alias check the contents of the edit box and change the characters typed. It would reduce the code by more than half and greatly improve the performance of this script if I can do this with an event. Also, along with this, I would like to use the ^ prefix with the KeyUp/KeyDown events if I cannot already.

Currently I have a very slow and ugly looking script that checks the editbox for windows constantly, and replaces any possible passwords with *'s. As I said in my original post, it would eliminate half the code I currently have to use, and make things a lot faster and cleaner.

That was only feature what i can't made to 100% imitate the Help->Search window(ex. write there "a" .. and without changing focus to the topics list box, you can move back or forward by pressing up/down arrows).. I see.. Somebody give some stars to that topic

I think this should even be extended to mouse events as well, to make them work on all windows. On hotlink just doesn't cut it for channel windows since you have to actually click text for that event to trigger, and not everyone wants to switch to custom windows. Perhaps an on mouse event would be nice. Greets
