Currently I am capturing tells, channel communications and shouts and then redirecting them to four different windows. Firstly, I have the problem that if i'm typing when the text is captured I lose the focus from the command window and usually end up some menus open, and all my text I have been typing has gone. Does anyone know of any way I can stop this from happening?

My second problem is in timestamping the captured text to these windows. I am using a slightly modified version of Lalaynya's channel capture script so have a way of stamping the channel captures. However, can anyone suggest a way to add a stamp in front of any tells/shouts?

My current setup is:
#class cap disable
#TRIGGER {^~((%w) Tell~) (*)} {#var cap "%1"#class cap 1}
#TRIGGER {^(%1) shouts, (*)} {#var cap "Shouts";#class cap 1}
#TRIGGER {^(%1) tells you, (*)} {#var cap "Tells";#class cap 1}
#TRIGGER {*} {#cap @Cap;#gag} "Cap"

And in the channel windows settings
#TRIGGER {^~((%w)~):} {#sub %time(hh:mm)}

One last thing, is it possible to change the font size in these child windows?

Based on my own experience, that's correct. Windowname: and :windowname: will redirect commands to existing windows, but won't open new ones.
To open new windows, use #WINDOW windowname, #CAP windowname, or #C+ windowname.

Since you aren't likely to want more than a handful of windows open, and they only need to be opened once, just go ahead and open the desired windows manually. Once the windows are open, windowname: and :windowname: will work as expected.
