Replies / message quotes have just been added to signal-cli a few days ago (https://github.com/AsamK/signal-cli/commit/d13d150fe1c6b21dd53617cf7996d2876bc5db58). I'll add this functionality to scli when I have a bit more time. Haven't yet decided what the UX would look like..
For the keybinding - yes, I think r
(for 'reply') would fit well. Also q
(for 'quote'). (Both can be available, and either one can be used).
There's one other candidate for the r
key though - reactions (i.e. emoji), that are also in the plans. But I think it's more natural for most people to use r
as a reply key. For reactions, we can find a substitute (maybe e
for 'emoji'?).
The reply feature has been already been requested in #102. Let's track it in that issue.
Even tho I usually keep up to date with the Issues here I had totally missed this feature request, my bad.
No problem! And the reminder is timely, with signal-cli just making this possible :)
That was just luck :)
Apparently, sending replies in signal-cli is non-dbus only, for now, so can't be used in scli. See https://github.com/isamert/scli/issues/102#issuecomment-1002790350
Hi,
In the native Android Signal app there's a feature to send a inline reply to a specific message. And when done from the native app scli shows it as a inline reply. But I can't find a way to actually do this from scli. Am I missing something or is this feature not available? Maybe there's limitations with signal-cli?
My suggestion would be to implement this feature with hitting 'r' (r as in reply) on a focused message to send a inline reply.
