Add auto status change after sending a message.

[idea] Change status to online after sending a message to any channel.

That's nice. Sometimes I get on Discord to check if I have messages then get back off.

I believe the cooldown timeout of high value (like 30+ seconds) achieves the same functionality too in a way.

The difference between having your status 'un-afk' when you send a message compared to un-afk when you've had discord focused for a sufficiently large time boils down to accuracy of when your status is being un-afked

changing your status when you send a message changes your status at that instant.
But with the timeout, it assumes that if you have the discord window focused for a certain time you are online. so status might not change at that time when you send a message, but it will be at a later time.

Addressing the issue of lurk, with the un-afk trigger being sending a message, you can lurk, check messages and get back to what you're doing your status wont change and you don't have to worry about a timeout.
But in the case of timeout being the un-afk tirgger, if you keep it's value quite high (like 90s in my case), you can check messages and close discord though you'd have to be alt-tabbing or unfocusing->focusing quite a few times to reset the cooldown timeout.

My point being, the functionality is still there just maybe not accurate enough.

I hope my point comes across.
