/msg "user" is not discoverable

Open lpetic opened this issue 4 years ago • 6 comments

For example, there is a user named: Joe Dae. The command /msg Joe Dae Hello! will not work.

/msg "Joe Dae" Hello!

It's not discoverable, though. Needs to be added somehow in the /help message, I'm not sure how to make it clear without being too verbose.

Just add quotes around user is not enough? /msg "user" message: send a private message

I've tried, and the extra punctuation makes the help message too noisy for my taste.

tab autocomplete ?! cough cough That would help even in cases of long single-word usernames.

tab autocomplete

I'd accept a patch that does that.
