Electronic messaging systems, a machine-accessible medium, and methods for text-based electronic communication. In one embodiment, a plurality of databases are provided. The databases each define shorthand terms with one or more longhand terms. A shorthand term is targeted within a text message, and the databases are searched for corresponding longhand terms. The longhand terms are selected for display according to factors such as user preferences, the identities of participants to the text communication, and the context of the text message. Abbreviations, shorthand, and other jargon sent by one user is thereby interpreted. For example, one of the longhand terms may be substituted in-line with the text message. Alternatively, all matches for the shorthand term found in the databases may be listed in descending order according to relevancy.

In an embodiment, a plurality of respective context keywords are stored to a plurality of contexts, wherein each of the plurality of respective context keywords is different. In response to sending of a first plurality of instant messages from an electronic device, a first context is selected at the electronic device from among the plurality of contexts. A first context keyword of the plurality of respective context keywords that matches respective first terms in the first plurality of instant messages is stored in the first context. The first plurality of instant messages are stored to a first chat session in the first context that was selected by the selecting. The first context that comprises the first plurality of instant messages and the first context keyword is sent to a recipient device.

Techniques are described for allowing a user to designate one of the windows on a display device (e.g., computer monitor) as a model window. Doing so permits the user to transfer the settings of an attribute (e.g., a font, color scheme, security setting, display of a toolbar, a user-defined attribute etc.) associated with the model window to another window located on the display device once the user moves the model window within a certain distance of the other window. The settings of the attributes of the model window are then transferred to the attributes of the other window. Moreover, the assigned settings may be rolled back after a specified amount of time has elapsed. The window whose attributes were changed may then revert back to either default settings or the settings before the attributes were changed to the attribute settings of the model window.
