Chatception - quickly chat in different rooms from a single page (v0.2)

TL;DR

I got fed up with having 11 chat tabs open all the time and made a userscript to fix it.

Description

A tiny widget that allows you to quickly chat in different Stack Exchange chatrooms from a single page.

  • Hover over any of the chatrooms shown on the right side of the page to pop up the small widget.

  • It will show a history of the last few messages from that chatroom (with full formatting, including oneboxes), the user who sent them, and a timestamp.

  • Type in the text field at the top to quickly send a message to that chatroom.

  • Hover over the username of any message shown in the widget to reply to, delete, or edit it.

  • The timestamp of any message shown also acts as a permalink.

Download / Code

Userscript can be found on GitHub (this post is just the README.md copy/pasted).
