• Shortens chat channel names
• Shortens cross-realm character names and Real ID player names
• Replaces Real ID player names and BattleTags with WoW character names
• Enables arrow keys without the Alt key (*)
• Enables resizing chat frames by their edges
• Makes all channels sticky (**)
• Makes URLs clickable for easy copying
• Moves the input box above the chat frame
• Sets the delay time for chat text fading

(*) As of Patch 5.4 using Up/Down to access previously entered chat lines without the Alt key is limited to non-secure commands only. If you need to access previously entered secure commands (like /cast or /use) you will still need to hold the Alt key.

(**) If a channel is sticky, then after talking in that channel, the chat input box will open to the same chat type again, rather than making you type “/g” or “/ra” again.

Options & Commands

• Type “/pchat” for options, or find them in the Interface Options.
• Type “/pchat clear” to clear all chat windows.
• Type “/tt" or “/wt” to send a whisper to your current target.

Some additional options, such as customizing which channels are made sticky and what abbreviations are used for channel names, are available by editing the Core.lua file in a plain-text editor such as Notepad. If you break something, download a fresh copy and try again.
