What is Quick Reply?
Quick Reply is a compact and easy to use application, to quickly send messages to your Adium contacts. It's just a hidden window which appears when you press a certain key combination. Quick Reply is developed to send messages a lot easier and faster than you did before.

Why would I use it?
You will probably think: why would I use Quick Reply, if I can also just switch to Adium and type my message there? There is one big advantage: Quick Reply is just so much faster than clicking the Adium icon, selecting the chat window, selecting the textarea, typing your message, pressing the "Enter"-key and returning back to your application you were working on. Quick Reply is simply activated by pressing a few keys, typing your message. Then press "Enter" and you can continue working in your active application.
