I think some very important feature is missing for when you are watching the scroll history (output).

Tt is very important to be able to scroll to look some things that you may have missed as well as being able to still see what is currently being sent to you from the mud.

I play alot of pking mud and I couldnt even scrollback with mushclient because I could actually get killed without even knowing I am being attacked while I am scrolling back and for that reason, I think a split backscroll screen where you have the upper portion of the screen displaying the history and the bottom one displaying the current output window is an important feature that is missing and prorably the only feature that makes me reticent to move completely to mushclient.

The thin bar splitting the window should be ajustable by sliding it up or down. Many mud clients implement this feature.

Thanks.

You can currently open a new window (window > New window) which is a clone of the current output window. You then have two identical windows which you can resize (and pause/scroll independantly)

and a note to nick on this. If/when you impliment scriptable resizing/moving of windows, then you wont need a built in "split screen" routine, it can be done via scripting, you can just DoCommand a new window, then resize one over the other, and pause it. Then the bottom one (the original one) will remain large, albeit underneath the shorter paused one. Just need the move/resize.
