Channel history plugin
Channel history is a Mush-Z function that saves important events such as channel messages, spells falling, unique items found and more. These messages can be heard with your screen reader, copied to the clipboard or pasted in the command window for easier sending.
By default, the channel history starts listening to the 'all' category so you can read everything that happens. However, you can always switch to a different category. The most used categories are:
- all: Saves all messages.
- Group: Saves group tells and events such as when members die.
- tells: Saves tells received from other players.
- channels: Saves messages related to communication channels such as zt, gossip, xp, etc.
- clan: Messages from your clan.
- auction: Messages related to auctioned items.
- Short ID: stats of items from auction and that you identify are saved in condensed form
here, if you have that option enabled.
- Arena: shows messages related to fights in pk arenas.
These categories can be moved about and deleted to match your needs. (You might want to have the 'tells' category close to 'all', and channels after that, for instance.)
hotkeys
The hotkeys to control channel history are:
- alt+right and alt+left arrows move to next and previous category
- shift+alt+right and shift+alt+left move this category to the next or previous position,
allowing you to change the positions of categories. (These hotkeys might conflict with your screen reader, in which case you'll need to use the pass through gesture. In Jaws, this is insert+3.)
- alt+delete - deletes a category. The category will be recreated when a message related to it is added to it.
- alt+1 through alt+0 - read recent message 1 through 10. pressing one of these keys twice
quickly will copy the message to the clipboard, and 3 times will paste it into the command window.
- Alt+up and down arrow: move up or down through messages in a history category.
- Alt+space: repeat the message that currently is selected with the arrow keys
- Alt+shift+space: copy selection
- Alt+page up/down: move up or down by 10 messages
- Alt+home/end: move to the top or bottom of a category. Each category remembers the newest 100 messages.
