Replace default command sentinel character #19

Closed edfletcher closed 1 year ago

edfletcher commented 1 year ago

! is used by a surprisingly-large number of IRC bots as their command sentinel, meaning that as currently implemented, users of DRC cannot interact with bots of that type.

@ is out too, as is # for obvious reasons both. Can't be anything used for formatting, so *, _, ~ are all out. It should be something pretty obscure, as well. Options:

requires the SHIFT key:

&cmd
^cmd
?cmd
+cmd

these don't require the SHIFT key:

;cmd
,cmd
.cmd
'cmd
=cmd

(I think I prefer the non-SHIFT-required variants...)

Went with ;. Watch out: the previous ! character may have become muscle memory (it had for me)!
