feature request: option to not display names in conversation redundantly
Right now when you are in a conversation, the name of the author of the message is redundantly displayed with each message like this:
John Doe: Hi John Doe: How are you? John Doe: let's chat : Peter Stone: yeah Peter Stone: sounds good John Doe: great. let's do it.
where as I would appreciate if by toggling an option like /timestamp, but instead something like /redundant or something, The names wouldnt be repeated until someone else is the author of the message. Taking the above conversation, it would look like this with the option toggled: John Doe: Hi How are you? let's chat : Peter Stone: yeah sounds good John Doe: great. let's do it.
The major reason why this would be great is that as a blind person and screen reader user, I like using fb-messenger-cli as a minimalistic alternative to the original. My screen reader will read the name of the person over and over when they split up their message into a bunch of little ones. It would be much more pleasent if it wasnt repeated over and over.
