Same here, after all that was the whole point of creating a new  
client :-)

1.1.0 has a bug that it responds to any five spaces anywhere in the  
string,
should be fixed in the next version though.

It's the default text in the dialog window, if a user clicks it and  
presses enter, it
gets send. I could improve on that :-) there is also a problem with  
mouse focus
once in input mode the textbox "captures"  the users, so far i always  
needed
to fire a torp to get control back (not very elegant)
