Arrow keys in input mode discard message and navigate away #248

Closed klemensn closed 1 year ago

klemensn commented 3 years ago

Enter a chat, type i to compose a message and type away.

Hitting any of the arrow keys will navigate away and discard the message.

I expected left/right to navigate within the message, i.e. move back and forth for editing, etc. -- instead, all text is lost and I have to start again.

One work-around is to hit I and compose within your editor, but that goes against the fast type/reply/navigate workflow tg naturally provides.

Losing data is bad, so it'd be great to have at least a confirmation about discarding the unsent message -- better even keep them in a per-chat input buffer and let users come back to it (just like the mobile app does with Draft messages).

See #293 , I didn't see there was already an issue for this and implemented a possible fix
