Well, you do have a way to disable... Just add ye old handy '/' at the beginning of the line.

you are right,Trimda.....just try and find the damned / character on italian keyboard using US layout,lol.
And, after all, wouldn't it be better if a disabling option was available?

How is it "annoying"? The typing animation isn't a frivolous feature thrown in there just for "fun". It serves an important social cue to let people know you're about to say something.

Or if you've been doing it for a few minutes, that you're crashing.

being italian sometimes my choice of english words is not very happy. Rather than annoying i meant tiresome actually. But that is not the problem, anyway.
If there is a way of disabling the animation by means of a /, then maybe someone thought it would have been useful to disable it sometimes.
What i asked for was not to get rid of the animation, but just an option or a hotkey to disable it if one wished.

I guess just like the features in major IM clients that let you disable "Allow other users to see that you're typing"

it would be nice... or at least a way to disable the damn clacking of the typing

Is it possible to replace the typing anim with a different one? I find it helpful, especially with groups or events. I like it all around. If I didn't want to see myself typing, I'd just not type. Haha. But that's me. :)

You can use llGetAnimationList() and a timer to detect when your avie is typing, then just play a different animation, if you like. :)
