Great addon. A few suggestions

I've been using this for a week now and would like to provide a little feedback. I hope this addon continues to get updated. It's amazing. I get a lot of people asking me what mod it is, and how cool it is. But it does have a few issues that get in the way of making it easy to use. I also have a few suggestions to help improve it.

First, I'd like to say it is almost mandatory to use WoWIM with this. When you advertise your tradeskill in town, and 2 or more people use your !keyword, you'll get spammed and that can clutter up your chat window. Using WoWIM makes this problem go away immediately. It makes handling and keeping track of multiple requests a breeze.

Options UI is super clunky and not intuitive at all. It would be great if this got some love. Having to maintain a separate text file to update and copy/paste into the options fields is annoying.

  • Having radial buttons to turn on/off certain features would be great.
  • Turning Misspell Correction & Featured Skills into an Add/Update button. When clicking it opens a simple list window. Each line contains one misspell or featured skill.

Limit response count by level of tradeskill item. In other words, have a way to filter out enchants below a certain level. So that when someone whispers !enchants, they don't get 50 pages of useless enchants. Instead, I specify "Enchant Level Range: [45]"

Support for multiple whisper commands. I can't tell you how many times I'll get a whisper !enchant, !chants, !enchanting. When my whisper command is !enchants.

Minimap button. This would have several uses. Rightclick to open options. Left click to post tradeskill into a chat channel. In the options, there would be a "Tradeskill Message" text box, where you would essentially create a macro to post a message to the trade channel.

Keep up the great work, this is an amazing addon.
