New description:

 Sometimes I miss the feature of some IRC clients and some messenger-addons
 programs that allow you to change status via /slash/ commands..
 I think that it could be very nice to have something like:


 /away [status-message]: sets Away status with the given (optional) status
 message.

 /dnd [status-message]: sets Do not Disturb status...

 /online [status-message]: sets Available status...

 /stt <saved-status-name>: sets the saved status specified.


 It would be a very handy way of switching status for the people, like me,
 who hate the mouse, can't use it, or is uncomfortable (laptops).
