channel switch

Description

Inspired by the Sponge community. This is a new idea of using the chat. The chat is splitted into channels. You can switch the channels easily by just clicking on the channel name at the bottom of the chat window. You can still receive chat messages. If a new message was sent and you are in a different channel you get notification and could see the number of unread messages next to the channel name.

Moreover you don't need to invoke a special command in order to write in a channel. If you switch to channel, you can start writing your message. The message will be sent to your current viewing channel.
