I was sighing at yet another typo I made while typing to my players, and thinking to myself "why can't I just edit that?"  I can do this in Discord and on Google Chat and it would be nice to able to do it in roll20 chat.  Thanks!

Thanks!  I'll give you a vote, too.  Can you clarify though that it's only deleting a line and not fully editing the line (which would include delete)?  I need delete far less often than editing for typos or clarity, I'm a very fast typist (too fast!).

That's why I suggest you add your use case to the thread there. Others in the thread have mentioned the idea of editing text beyond just deleting.

No worries. I couldn't find your thread by typing in exactly what I wanted -- chat editing -- so I'm going to leave this one here as more ways to direct others to it. That's why I made this post in the first place!
