Content

Clicking on a user's name in the timeline inserts a mention into the composer. Clicking on the avatar retains the old behaviour of opening the user details view.

Currently this doesn't work with the RTE due to some required changes in the RTE library that I haven't attempted yet.
One small "bug" is that the cursor is unconditionally jumped to the end of the text, not to the end of the mention (although the same happens when manually inserting a mention)

Motivation and context

By popular demand; also element-hq/element-x-ios#1527
This mirrors Element Android and Element Web behaviour.

Thank you for your contribution! Here are a few things to check in the PR to ensure it's reviewed as quickly as possible:

  • Your branch should be based on origin/develop, at least when it was created.
  • The title of the PR will be used for release notes, so it needs to describe the change visible to the user.
  • The test pass locally running ./gradlew test.
  • The code quality check suite pass locally running ./gradlew runQualityChecks.
  • If you modified anything related to the UI, including previews, you'll have to run the Record screenshots GH action in your forked repo: that will generate compatible new screenshots. However, given Github Actions limitations, it will prevent the CI from running temporarily, until you upload a new commit after that one. To do so, just pull the latest changes and push an empty commit.

val end = markdownTextEditorState.selection.last
// Create a suggestion at the current selection (or end) so insertSuggestion() knows where to add the pill
markdownTextEditorState.currentSuggestion = Suggestion(end, end, SuggestionType.Mention, "")

This feels like a bit of a hack; not sure I like it. Maybe it would be better to move this to MarkdownTextEditorState and tidy it up a bit
