you type what you want to say in the editbot

mirc will detect that if you dont type anymore for 3 seconds, you should have finished typing, so it will autoclick enter to display your text

brilliant?

Uh... that would be annoying, imo.

I agree with Riamus..there are times when I'm reviewing what I've typed before hitting enter, and if there's a fair bit, it can sometimes take me longer than 3 seconds, or if I'm in the middle of typing something and have to answer the door or the phone, well, it takes me nearly a minute to get to my door.

yeah that's the trouble with castles....

.... I have been saved from embarrassment a few times by re-reading what i've typed before hitting enter, and caused myself embarrassment by hitting enter too quick.

perhaps this idea would be good for some but like most ideas it would need to be switched so that us who don't require it can turn it off.

IMO anything "auto" should be left to scripts. So perhaps
a better feature suggestion would be for the command(s)
and identifier(s) needed to script your suggested feature.

Judge for yourself

Code:
on *:ACTIVE:*: { AutoEnterCheck.Sets } 
on *:APPACTIVE:{ AutoEnterCheck.Sets }
alias -l AutoEnterCheck.Sets { 
  set -e %AutoEnterCheck.Counter  4
  set -e %AutoEnterCheck.Active   $active
  set -e %AutoEnterCheck.Editbox  $editbox($active).selstart $editbox($active).selend $editbox($active) 
  .timerAutoEnterCheck.Timer -i 0 1 AutoEnterCheck.Timer
}
alias AutoEnterCheck.Timer {
  if ( (!$appactive) || (%AutoEnterCheck.Active != $active) || (!%AutoEnterCheck.Editbox) || (%AutoEnterCheck.Editbox != $editbox($active).selstart $editbox($active).selend $editbox($active)) ) { AutoEnterCheck.Sets | return }
  set -e %AutoEnterCheck.Counter $calc(%AutoEnterCheck.Counter - 1) | if (!%AutoEnterCheck.Counter) { editbox -an $editbox($active) }
}


* i didnt overly test this for working in all setups etc, but seems to work ok on two networks, no mouse tracking activity was done so if u stop evecting the editbox, and dont change windows it goes off in around 3 to 4 seconds.

IMO Its a monster, i would never use something like this.
