Chat Utilities

Chat Utilities 2.2.3

🟢 New | 🟡 Changed | 🔴 Fixed

🟢 New

• Emoji picker massively expanded: from around 90 symbols to over 500 emojis, now with a "Emoji Picker" title bar and a larger grid (9 instead of 8 columns, bigger panels)
• New preview keybind (key.chatwheel.preview, unbound by default): while held, chat windows are shown in full even when chat is closed (chatPreviewVisible in the config)
• Auto Text now supports real key combinations: click the key field, press the desired keys together, releasing all keys automatically saves the combination (replaces the old single-key + Ctrl/Shift/Alt logic)
• Right-clicking a chat message's copy button (⧉) now copies the text including & color/formatting codes instead of plain text only

🟡 Changed

• Auto Text screen completely reworked: new panel design with title bar, larger input fields, readable key names (letters, F-keys, special characters, modifiers) instead of raw GLFW names; separate Ctrl/Shift/Alt buttons removed
• Settings screen (GlobalSettingsScreen) switched to new panel design with checkmark toggles (✓/✗)
• Right-clicking a chat window no longer automatically opens window settings — that action now triggers color-code copy instead (see above)
• Persistent chat history removed: ChatHistoryManager no longer saves/loads a JSON file in the config folder, history now only exists in memory for the current session
• Extensive performance rework of the filter system: filter verdicts and lowercased strings are now cached (verdictCache, matchCache, cached lowercase in EnhancedFilterRule), significantly reducing toLowerCase() calls per message
• ChatWindowHudOverlay rendering reworked: a single renderVersion counter was replaced with separate layoutVersion/messageVersion/propagationVersion counters; new per-message wrap/render cache (WindowWrapCache) with background pre-computation for smoother scrolling on large chat histories
• "Claimed by" cache invalidation no longer runs on every single incoming message, only on config reload
• Window titles "Chat Wheel"/"Edit Chat Wheel" renamed to "Chat Utilities"/"Edit Chat Utilities"

🔴 Fixed

• Opening the Chat Wheel with Alt/Ctrl without active chat text now correctly opens the normal wheel instead of a broken state
• Closing window settings (WindowSettingsScreen) now invalidates the filter cache, so tab/filter changes take effect immediately
