I use Launchy, a keystroke launcher for winXP (http://www.launchy.net/), and I wanted to know if I can save any commands in it that I can use with Pidgin.
I can do so with Yahoo Messenger. I can type "yahoo messenger | USERNAME | MESSAGE" in Launchy and it can substitute the messages into Launchy as I have set it to excute the following command: ymsgr:sendIM?$1&m=$2 where $1 and $2 are the variables with the username and message.
Is there a similar way to set up pidgin like that?
Thank you.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
As of a couple of versions ago pidgin is able to register itself as the handler for a number of IM uri schemes, among those is the ymsgr: scheme, if you told pidgin to do that when you installed it I believe you should just be able to 'run' a url of that form and pidgin should handle it. I may be wrong about how this works exactly as I don't really use Windows.
