54145 - Make nick completion character a pref

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Other Applications Graveyard :: ChatZilla, enhancement, P3)

Description

[Matthew Cline]

While the nick-completion is a pretty cool feature, it always appends
a "," to the nick.  If the completion is happening at the very start
of the input-buffer/text-area, then it should probably be appended with
a ":", as this is what most people want to use; in other circumstances, it
would append a "," like it does now.

There should also be some way of doing a completion with no character
appended (Shift-Tab? Escape?), and some prefrences for controlling how all
this acts.

Chatzilla appends a ", " if the nick you are completeing is the first word in
the input line.  If you nick complete in the middle of a sentance, no character
is added.  Personally, I prefer ", " over ": ", so that's why the default is ",
", you can make it a ": " instead by typing "/eval client.ADDRESSED_NICK_SEP =
": "; in any window.

Unfortunatley, this isn't a pref yet, so you'll have to type it each time you
start Chatzilla.  It would be trivial to make it a pref, by editing
http://lxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/source/extensions/irc/xul/content/readprefs.js, I
just havn't done it yet.

Resummarizing.
