I'm not sure if this is an option I click somewhere or a plugin. I used to have it so that on my info pane it would show the characters in my command line, but when I switched computers it isn't there anymore and I can't remember how I set it up.

Can anyone help me with this?

Woah, that's a really good idea! In like 15 years of MUDding I've never thought to do that lol.

Here. You might have gotten it from this forum thread.

I actually tried that before this post but it didn't seem to work for me.

It worked OK for me. Here it is, turned into a plugin:

To save and install the Show_Characters_Typed plugin do this:

Copy the code below (in the code box) to the Clipboard
Open a text editor (such as Notepad) and paste the plugin code into it
Save to disk on your PC, preferably in your plugins directory, as Show_Characters_Typed.xml
- The "plugins" directory is usually under the "worlds" directory inside where you installed MUSHclient.
Go to the MUSHclient File menu -> Plugins
Click "Add"
Choose the file Show_Characters_Typed.xml (which you just saved in step 3) as a plugin
Click "Close"
Save your world file, so that the plugin loads next time you open it.
