About PhanxChat
PhanxChat removes chat frame clutter and adds some functionality.
- Shortens chat channel names
- Removes realm names from cross-realm player names
- Replaces Real ID names and BattleTags with WoW character names
- Shortens Real ID player names to first names or BattleTags
- Enables shift-clicking on Real ID and BattleTag names to /who their character
- Enables arrow keys in the chat edit box without holding down the Alt key
- Enables resizing chat frames by any edge
- Makes all chat channels “sticky”
If a channel is sticky, then after you type into it, the edit box will open to the same channel again, rather than making you type “/g” or “/ra” again. - Makes URLs clickable for easy copying
- Moves the input box to the top of the chat frame
- Changes how long chat messages stay visible before fading out
- Stops docked chat tabs from being dragged unless Shift is held down
- Hides the scroll, menu, and social buttons
- Hides some extra textures on chat frames (restores pre-Patch 3.3.5 appearance)
- Hides the flashing effect on chat tabs
- Hides channel notification messages
- Hides repeated messages in public channels
Options & Commands
- Type “/pchat” for options, or find them in the Interface Options window.
- Type “/pchat clear” to clear all chat windows.
- Type “/tt" or “/wt” to send a whisper to your current target.
