Improved Chat Functionality
Additionally, as an admin I'm always using the keyboard. Having to stop and use the mouse to click the "Send" button is cumbersome. If the chat window uses Windows Forms, setting the "Send" button as the default element on the form would remedy this. To overcome the fact that you would not be able to enter multi-line chats, just have something like Shift+Enter create a new line in the active chat, while keeping Enter to send the chat message.
Just a few ideas....

Chat history is already on our roadmap.It would be nice if the chat session (including history) didn't just disappear when the chat session is either closed by the remote user, or when there is a network failure that temporarily disconnects the Host fr om the Viewer. In instances such as these, I'd like to be able to retain the chat history on screen and be able to pick up wh ere I left off once the network communication resumes.

Thank you for your post.
This has been fixed in the upcoming 6.5 version whose beta version will see the light this week. On both ends (i.e. Viewer and Host) you will be able to send messages by hitting Enter.

Usually, we do not enable automatic notification about beta updates, only stable ones. But the beta version will be publicly available on the site so anyone can download and use it. We will be looking forward to receiving feedback from beta testers.Also, will the beta update be available via the in-app update check, or does it have to be downloaded manually?
