Dosen't seem to change anything with either WSAD on or off. It still goes to nearby chat in the lower left toolbar instead of to the conversations window input area... hmmm...

I'm not trying to auto-hide it when NOT chatting... when I start chatting I want what I type to go to the chat in the conversations window on the right where I can actually see it. In 2005 when I started SL this was where the chat/conversations were and that is where I look for it. I want the left side lower toolbar chat to NOT grab focus from the keyboard at all when I press enter to start chatting at someone. I know there is a debug flag/setting to completely turn off the local chat left hand tool bar widget, I had it done before but had a hard drive fail and had to reinstall everything from scratch on a new SSD drive.

This does not really answer the question.... The title of the thread is "How to get rid of nearby chat on lower tool bar *firestorm" Although the method shown does allow movement, the D**N local chat in the toolbar still grabs the chat instead of letting it go to the "real" chat window. For me this is confusing because since the beginning of time (in SL) the main chat was always on the RIGHT side of the screen, and that is where I move it now since i am used to seeing it there. When my chat text dosent appear in that window while I am typing, I keep thinking the viewer is not picking up on what I am typing... Again, the question is How to GET RID of "nearby chat' on the lower tool bar in firestorm?
