Feature Request: support chat input editing #27

Open unreal79 opened 3 years ago

unreal79 commented 3 years ago

It is possible to edit previous command in Element Windows client for example? I.e. after mistyping whami in Element I can press button UP and edit my input. Currently eno-bot answers: Unknown command * whoami. Try the help command for more information. I think it would be easy to support the chat edit option.

Hi @unreal79. Thanks for contributing an idea. I understand what you are asking for.

I think this is outside the scope of the possibility of the matrix-eno-bot. The matrix-eno-bot works server-side so to speak. While your change would be on the client side, i.e. inside the e.g. Element Windows client. As far as I can tell there is nothing the bot can do. You could raise this as an issue on the Element Github page.

I will leave this issue open for a while in case someone else wants to comment, but I think long-term I will have to close it as "impossible". But, thanks nonetheless.
