Nick autocompletion

[Nic0]

It could be nice to have some autocompletion for nicks.

[diegoxter]

How is this going? Definetly this is THE feature :-O

[Nic0]

Well, it's not going very far :þ But I thought about it. I'll surely take care of it soon, and the url shorter as well.

[diegoxter]

Well, dreams are free xD Anyway, how about a keybind that create a box, you paste the url and that box call the tinyurl (or any url shortener service) api and the result (the url shortened) gets pasted in a tweet box ready to be edited and tweeted? Just an idea from a non thinking head :D

[Nic0]

Well, I thought about something a bit different, here the thing:

I want something plugin based, as if I use a url shorter that you don't like, you may easely write (or ask to someone) another one. The idea, it's when you write your tweet, and press, ctrl-wathever, it will be a callback that parse urls, shorter them, and replace to the current tweet, and you still able to edit it.

Not really easy to explain it.

Anyway, I have some rewrite to do with this edit box, I don't specialy like it.

[diegoxter]

That's a cool idea yeah, i was thinking about telling you about plugins (something a bit more personal, like a event-based notifier or the like ). About the edit box, it is bothering the TL appearing there on the middle (personal opinion) It couldn't be personalized to be on the top or the bottom?

I'm a frustrated artist, so here it goes an image: http://img864.imageshack.us/i/tyrs.png/

there is some ideas there, I'll try something for it.

If I can take part in this debate, i'd rather see the box on top of the TL that in the bottom (I think it's not user friendly)

[Nic0]

I've answer to the mailing list as it does not realy have connexion with this nick autocompletion request :þ So feel free to argue it.

[diegoxter]

This feature ain't getting love, i guess :-(

[Nic0]

Well, with the new interface, it might be easier to implement this, so I should think about it indeed...

[Nic0]

It's done! I hope it will be bug free :-) undocumented so far, but when editing a tweet: "foo bar @die" should complete.

[diegoxter]

Already found the first bug :S Try your method "foo bar @die" It will throw something like "foo bar @diefoo bar @die" That happens to me :-(

[Nic0]

Thanks, should be fixes now.

[diegoxter]

Almost there Nic, it doesnt throw the ugly "foo bar @diefoo bar" output, but try tagging someone, then try doing it again with some else in the same tweet... It works only one time D: Guess this is a bogus feature after all...

[Nic0]

I think it good now! :þ
