Description John 2012-03-13 22:21:47 UTC 
Currently whenever i receive a message i have to either reach for the mouse to click on the appropriate chat (or new chat indicator) only to travel all the way back to the keyboard to reply or i have to use Alt+Tab (or similar) to find the appropriate window/tab. Both of these methods are fine if you have only a couple of chats open or you are not doing anything else but as soon as you get a few chats open or you are trying to work as well the time it takes to get to the chat makes life rather difficult.

As one example of a solution: in Kopete i could set a global shortcut "Read Message" which each time it is pressed opened the next chat (or new chat) that has received messages since the chat lost focus, in the order messages arrived.

Thank you very much in advance.

What is needed to get this working?

Dear user, unfortunately Telepathy is no longer maintained.

Please migrate to another solution, e.g. for Jabber a possibility is Kaidan, for Matrix a candidate is NeoChat.
