Is There a Short Cut to Make Sidebar Scroll to Bottom?

1779540586

Edited 1779544064
I've had some issues with less computer literate friends missing information because they do not pay attention to the sidebar. Is there some kind of keyboard shortcut I can tell these guys to perform to go directly to the last sidebar entries? Please don't say "just scroll", you have no idea how illiterate some older folks can be, LOL. :-) It would be nice if there was a macro or Mod/API command a DM could run that would do this for all players. Thanks!
I feel your pain. AFAIK there is no keyboard shortcut that does this. As for an API script, hopefully someone more knowledgeable about those will chime in. Also, as a person who was born when the U.S. flag still had only 48 stars, the "I'm too old to learn this stuff" line does not fly at my table :D

My old Land Rover was built in 1959, does that count?

There's actually someone on the forums who's older than I am! I had to look that up. Yup, Rick is older than me. :-) Simon G. said: My old Land Rover was built in 1959, does that count? See? See?

Italian here so I had to go look for the date of the 49 star...... I'm younger but not by much. Started playing when E.T. came out (zero charisma!) and a friend, that was in US in the summer with the family, whispered he got that game "they" were playing!. hooked since. Andrea

to go back to the original question..... on a Mac. click anywhere on the chat space then command + down arrow does the trick. works both on Firefox and Safari someone could try chrome (I have a religious block against installing it) i suppose on windows maybe ctrl down arrow could work? again someone could try....

I tried a few key combinations on my Windows 10 PC using Chrome. Clicking in the chat area - not in the chat box at the bottom - then hitting the " END " key scrolls the chat to the bottom. The DOWN arrow scrolls the chat one line at a time. CTRL+Down Arrow does nothing. Combinations usinig ALT or SHFT also do nothing. Edit : Picture added for those not familiar with a Windows keyboard.

Yes I meant the chat area too so it seems..... Windows: chat area and END Mac: chat area and command+down maybe we should post to the tips and trick thread!!

I have petitioned the devs to re-open the tips n trick thread three times in the past. A thread autocloses after 3-4 months of inactivity. The last time I did this, it autoclosed without a new tip being added. I'm not sure I want to bother them to do it again.
I wish there was a way for the original author of a post to reopen it without requesting devs to do it, or to adjust the auto closure time. I can understand the need to close old topics, but it would help reduce duplicate threads, such as for a script update. But the forums were created so long ago it would probably be best to just create a new forum system that has better search and filtering capability anyways.

Oh wow. Thank you both so very much. End works. I also found ctrl-down arrow works as well - my laptop is also Win 10. Delighted, thank you so much Andrea & Rick!
