This functionality has existed in Windows Messenger for some time. Aaron On 3/14/2011 9:48 AM, Dave bahr wrote:Well that just makes me want to switch back to wlm 14, if that's thecase. So as of right now if I wanted to click on a url I would need topaste the conversation into notepad and then copy the url from there?Doing control shift right and left arrow on the url selects it a chunkat a time in wlm 2011, and shift up or down arrow only selects a part of it, not the whole thing, in the history window. Is there another way to simulate a left click somehow? Dave C. Bahr On 3/14/2011 6:16 AM, Aaron Smith wrote:Yes. We're just talking about mouse navigation.
