Hi Anouk, Try the keystroke control option shift end. End is the right arrow on a laptop keyboard, so if you have a macbook, try control option fn, shift right arrow. You may also want to grow a 6th finger on your left hand to ficilitate this. That keystroke will basicly just jump you straight to the bottom of whatever window your are interacting with, such as the adium message log.
I seem to remember you are a hardcore braille user, so if you find out you use this feature a lot then you might want to set up a key for it on your braille display and save you having to reach up for the keyboard all the time.
