Comment (by thany):
I won't go into a discussion about duplicity of code, but try to think of
the users... You're basically letting wait in the cold dark night until
"someone" comes around with a solution. That solution might be autohotkey,
or whichever.
The reality is that Windows isn't as fullfeatured as Linux. The fact dat
Linux provides this functionality out of the box (not sure I've ever seen
it on my Ubuntu box, tho) doesn't neccesariy mean that on Windows it can
be left out, Especially since Windows is by far the most-used OS out
there.
On top of that, autohotkey is yet another tool to manage, and another one
that has to behave well with any other "exotic" applications. Plus is has
to be portable, because Pidgin is too.
