Boomer

Boomer is a lightweight addon for World of Warcraft Classic that automatically cleans up and formats your outgoing chat messages, sparing you from accidental ALL CAPS moments and messy text. Whether you forget your Caps Lock is on or type something in a hurry, Boomer ensures your messages look neat and polished—so you can focus on questing, raiding, or just having fun with friends without worrying about confusing formatting sending to people.

Key Features

• Sentence Casing
  Applies a natural sentence-case style, turning ALL CAPS messages into more readable text.

• Common Word Fixes
  Automatically corrects or normalizes frequently misspelled words and contractions.

• Capitalized Abbreviations
  Recognizes and capitalizes known acronyms for raids, dungeons, and other in-game terms (e.g., "rfc" → "RFC").

• Proper Titles
  Converts multi-word location names to proper case (e.g., "the deadmines" → "The Deadmines").

• Informal Whisper Exceptions
  Keeps certain informal phrases (“inv me,” “pst,” etc.) in lowercase for a relaxed vibe in whispers.

• Raid Icon Shorthand
  Typing “rt1” through “rt8” automatically inserts the corresponding raid target icon, saving you from hunting for { and } characters.

Why Use Boomer?

1. No More Caps Apologies
   Avoid the dreaded “SORRY CAPS!” mid-sentence.

2. Seamless Integration
   Hooking directly into WoW’s chat system means all your messages are polished before anyone else sees them.

3. Applies Finishing Touches
   It title-cases your location names, keeps certain phrases lowercase (like “inv me”), and can even convert raid target shortcuts into icons.
4. Sends the Improved Message
   All other players see the final, cleaner version.
