Hashtag suggestions are removing CamelCase #1049

Closed rkingett closed 2 years ago

rkingett commented 3 years ago

First, it's worth noting that Mastodon has this proposed fix but I was hoping this fork would be more receptive to fixing this issue if that PR gets rejected.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Compose a new toot.
  2. Enter a hashtag with CamelCase but do not complete the hashtag.
  3. observe the autocomplete suggestions are all lower case.

Expected behavior.

I'd like all hashtags to be suggested with CamelCase by default. This way, it helps make the instances more accessible and also boosting user experience.

If a hashtag is suggested, the suggestion should only be in CamelCase.

I've noticed this and it's rather annoying. Since learning that it's better for screenreaders I've been putting hashtags in camel case (e.g. #CatsOfMastodon) and it's annoying to have the drop-down put it in lowercase.

Hey, I authored the aforementioned patch and was curious to try and PR it here, but GitHub doesn't support having more than one linked fork on an account. So I cloned hometown separately and create an unlinked fork with the patch applied.

https://github.com/weex/hometown with the branch ignore-hashtag-case has the patch if anyone knows how to extract a patch and apply it to their hometown fork.

This landed in Mastodon 3.5.2 and thus was fixed in Hometown v1.0.5+3.5.2!

Related but separate issue: if you use CamelCase when adding a featured hashtag to your profile but the system already knows that hashtag and has seen it as not CamelCase, it removes your own CamelCase and adds the non-CamelCase version instead.

There's an open bug on Mastodon for this: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/18184
