Composer Features

Auto Complete

  • Hitting tab tries to auto-complete the word before the caret as a room member
    • If no matching name is found, a visual bell is shown
  • @ + a letter opens auto complete for members starting with the given letter
    • When inserting a user pill at the start in the composer, a colon and space is appended to the pill
    • When inserting a user pill anywhere else in composer, only a space is appended to the pill

  • + a letter opens auto complete for rooms starting with the given letter

  • : open auto complete for emoji
  • Pressing arrow-up/arrow-down while the autocomplete is open navigates between auto complete options
  • Pressing tab while the autocomplete is open goes to the next autocomplete option, wrapping around at the end after reverting to the typed text first.

Formatting

  • When selecting text, a formatting bar appears above the selection.
  • The formatting bar allows to format the selected test as: bold, italic, strikethrough, a block quote, and a code block (inline if no linebreak is selected).
  • Formatting is applied as markdown syntax.
  • Hitting ctrl/cmd+B also marks the selected text as bold
  • Hitting ctrl/cmd+I also marks the selected text as italic
  • Hitting ctrl/cmd+> also marks the selected text as a blockquote

Misc

  • When hitting the arrow-up button while having the caret at the start in the composer, the last message sent by the syncing user is edited.
  • Clicking a display name on an event in the timeline inserts a user pill into the composer
  • Emoticons (like :-), >:-), :-/, ...) are replaced by emojis while typing if the relevant setting is enabled
  • Typing in the composer sends typing notifications in the room
  • Pressing ctrl/mod+z and ctrl/mod+y undoes/redoes modifications
  • Pressing shift+enter inserts a line break
  • Pressing enter sends the message.
  • Choosing "Quote" in the context menu of an event inserts a quote of the event body in the composer.
  • Choosing "Reply" in the context menu of an event shows a preview above the composer to reply to.
  • Pressing alt+arrow up/arrow down navigates in previously sent messages, putting them in the composer.
