I've been a die hard Essentails chat user since day 1, before I make the switch to DeluxeChat just for hover over tool-tips, any chance this would ever make it to Essentials chat?
I want to have click events when clicking usernames, and shift-clicking to put something into the chat bar, and hover over messages that can include essentials variables.

Possibly, but it'd be awhile before it's in here.

Ok, thanks, Ill move over to DeluxeChat until its implemented, then move back when it is! ;p

Let's move discussion of hover events to #2391, as this would be part of larger scale improvements to the plugin as a whole.
