Comment:

 Well: Currently the history is split in date and time and to copy text you
 have to select every single item and then copy its text.

 However, I often copy pieces that are covered over many of them and
 sometimes

 In Miranda's History++ Plugin, for instance you normally don't have them
 split that way but more like displayed everything, however not just as
 text but in items per typed message and you can easily mark as many of
 them as wanted and copy those.
 However, in Pidgin I would have to go through many sub-items to cover
 this. Maybe something like a shift-select option over the sub-items would
 be nice and that grouping as "items" would be nice too, that way it is
 often even more convenient.

 Regarding keep the message window alive: Actually, I close them as soon as
 possible because I am normally not just chatting and want to have free
 space for the rest, switching workpanels won't help in that case either.
 Not to mention that it won't help the initial problem.

 Btw. a different small question: But in Miranda there is also the ability
 that message windows aren't opened automatically and that there is also no
 information displayed regarding a new message, except a flashing message
 icon in the taskbar and for the users status symbol. Is there something
 like this in Pidgin too?
