Improvements for community admins

[anastasiyaig]

Description

this is the minimum set of improvements needed to enable community admins to perform their duties effectively:

• add ability to copy display name for a contact / member
• add possibility to search for a member by chat key

Currently, searching by chat key is not possible as well as copying display name

@xAlisher @benjthayer do you guys have any UX insights how that could be done? I wonder if any design work is needed there

[anastasiyaig]

@jrainville we need to plan that, maybe for 2.33 ?

@anastasiyaig @xAlisher where do you want to copy from?

[anastasiyaig]

i have no idea, therefore i asked design :D

[xAlisher]

It's currently impossible to select and copy display name text from the app, whether in chat or in the profile modal. I suggest making it possible to select the display name with the mouse cursor and press Ctrl+C to copy it.

I think part of this issue is just a bug.

For example, searching by chat key does work:

However, I think I needed to reload the app to make it work.

I just tested on master and I can't reproduce the issue, so it seems my latest changes to the community updates fixed that already.

So that leaves us with:

add ability to copy display name for a contact / member

I think @xAlisher 's proposal makes sense. Hopefully it's simple, but sometimes QML doesn't cooperate 😅

@jrainville to make sure, you are able to search through members list in community by public key? i checked in 2.31 and some branch of master today and it did not work to me

@anastasiyaig Hmmm, I think our search is dumb and uses only the elided chat key.

This works:

This doesn't work:

I assume it should be an easy fix

now it makes sense, thanks for double checking !
