Suggestion "Typing" status

[Polyrad]

Hey, @apathy , what do you think about a little thing that says "[username] is typing" in the shoutbox! Kinda like they have in those chat apps. :D

I second that.

I'll definitely have a look - I do think I saw the option in some screenshots.
If i'm misremembering, I should be able to code up the feature myself, but that wouldnt be a high prioroty rn.

EDIT: Just had a look, this does not seem to be a built-in options. I'll add this to the to do list but I've a lot of other things to get out of the way first.
You can, at the very least, see who's "online" on the chat by clicking the gears icon and making sure "Hide chatter list" is unticked.

So I've still not looked into this myself, but the good news is that the dev of the addon is looking into implementing it. It should basically come down to whether there's an efficient, performance friendly way of doing it or not.

An update for the Chat addon was just released today with this functionality added, so I've gone ahead and installed & enabled it :D
