Some WLM Beta tips and tricks

Some WLM Beta tips and tricks
Ok here's some of the small things you might have missed that I hope will make your Messenger 8 experience that little bit better :)

With the contact list selected:

* Typing any character will cause the wordwheel feature to become active. So if you want to search for a contact, don't bother clicking the word wheel box, just start typing!
* Press "Alt S" to load your Shared Folders.
* Press "Alt M" to load your Inbox.

With a conversation window selected:

* If you want to hide/show display pictures in the conversation window, click the "To: Name Here " bar at the top of the window
* If you have borderless mode enabled, remember you can press the Alt key to temporarily show the menus.
* If you want to share a file but want the recipient to receive it instantly (ie miss out the turn-based queue system) just drag the file into the text entry part of the conversation window and choose the option "Send the file through direct file transfer."
* In the conversation window, the keyboard shortcut "Alt N" now sends a nudge instead of loading the My Winks panel. That can now be loaded by "Alt W" :)
* The keyboard shorcut "Alt U" does not now start an audio conversation because of the new Windows Live Call integration. Use "Alt C C" for a Voice conversation.
* The keyboard shorcut "Alt O" does not now change your font but instead starts a Video conversation (changed from 7.0 to 7.5)

As always, this is only a beta, so the shortcut are subject to change.
