I’m upgraded from Gaim today to Pidgen. My only complaint was all the work I had to do fix it so that control-enter sent messages and enter entered a newline.
I found this blog entry about the problem, but it links to a 404 currently, so it wasn’t much help. After a lot of searching, I was able to find this ticket which helped me create a .gtkrc-2.0 file (which goes in your %USERPROFILE% directory in Windows). So I’m reproducing what I finally got to work for others to find and use.
binding "pidgin-bindings" { # enter inserts a newline bind "Return" { "insert-at-cursor" ("\n") } # ctrl-Enter sends message bind "<ctrl>Return" { "message_send" () } } widget "*pidgin_conv_entry" binding "pidgin-bindings"
You have an extra \ in the key-bindings.
bind “Return” { “insert-at-cursor” (”\\n”) }
Remove the extra \ to avoid having it enter “\n” instead of a carriage return
Yep, you’re right. Thanks for the catch. All fixed now.
