Moving the Chat Editbox

Guides UI and Macro
1

Is there a macro or script or something I can toss into an addon that will move the edit box to the top of the chat box? I’d prefer not to use an entire chat addon, such as Prat or BasicChatMods, just to be able to move it :slight_smile:

/run ChatFrame1EditBox:ClearAllPoints() ChatFrame1EditBox:SetPoint("BOTTOM", ChatFrame1, "TOP")

That produces a very… peculiar look for it. It does move it, but you can’t read anything typed… at least in my case, anyway

Oh, you wanted to be able to use it as well, you didn’t say :wink:

/run ChatFrame1EditBox:ClearAllPoints() ChatFrame1EditBox:SetPoint("BOTTOMLEFT", ChatFrame1, "TOPLEFT", -5, 2) ChatFrame1EditBox:SetPoint("RIGHT", ChatFrame1, 5, 0)

This doesn’t adjust the actual chatframe1 (so the editbox will most likely be over your tabs) because probably what you are ultimately after isn’t that simple depending on what else you have done or want to do with chat (chat frames, go figure).

Oh, I should have been more clear about that. This works perfectly though! That was I was planning for, since I have my tabs hidden unless I mouseover. This makes it so much nicer. Thank you for the help!
