Description

I would love to see the typing notification either just moved or added to the message window. It would be much easier to see while actually messaging someone rather than having to look in the contact list.

The issue requests moving or duplicating the typing notification from the contact list into the message window. Start by tracing where the contact-list notification is rendered and how the message window handles conversation status. Done means the typing state is clearly visible while messaging someone.
