01:00:21 <Mook_as> okay, I'll try to ignore that part then
01:00:37 <clokep> I think it's a large portion of the patche.s ;)

21:44:50 <flo> aleth: ping
21:45:59 <aleth> hi flo :)
21:46:12 <flo> I'm looking at https://bugzilla.instantbird.org/attachment.cgi?id=1018&action=diff
21:46:48 <flo> if I'm in a channel with ChanServ in the nicklist and I type in the textbox :C<tab>
21:46:58 <flo> what's the expected result of the completion?
21:47:11 <flo> ":ChanServ " or ":ChanServ: "?
21:47:51 <aleth> :Chanserv is what it does currently. Is :ChanServ: desired? (I have never interacted with one)
21:48:11 <flo> currently :C -> no completion.
21:48:23 <flo> with your patch it does ":ChanServ: "
21:48:48 <aleth> Only if at the beginning of the line
21:48:51 <flo> nothing specific to chanserv here, I could have said FooBar instead (it's just that I tried with ChanServ)
21:49:32 <flo> but should the nick still be considered "at the beginning of the line" if there's a non alphabetic char before it?
21:49:46 <aleth> Aren't you really asking "should we ever use the second word[] entry if at the beginning of the line"?
21:50:33 <aleth> If on twitter, the answer is certainly "yes"
21:50:38 <flo> or "should we ever use the 'beginning of the line prefix' if we are falling back to the second word[] entry to find a completion?"
21:50:53 <aleth> Ah, that would work.
21:51:11 <aleth> (you mean suffix I think)
21:51:17 <flo> one answer for that question makes your patch r+ as is. The other removes the twitter-specific case.
21:51:25 <flo> yes, suffix, sorry
21:52:51 <aleth> I think it's a good idea to add the exception you suggest. At least I can't at the moment think of a case where it would not be the desired behaviour.
21:54:46 <flo> that change is http://pastebin.instantbird.com/2903
21:54:58 --> mmkmou has joined #instantbird
21:56:22 <aleth> Yes. Gets rid of the twitter special case too as a bonus :)
21:57:19 <aleth> Though I have just thought of another little problem
21:57:36 <-- Mnyromyr has quit (Quit: ChatZilla 0.9.86 [SeaMonkey 1.1.19/2010030105])
21:58:41 <-- mmkmou has quit (Ping timeout)
21:58:53 <aleth> If on twitter I complete e.g. f<tab>, should the desired result be @flo rather than flo? I.e. should completion smartly add the @ the user has forgotten to type?
21:59:03 --> mmkmou has joined #instantbird
22:00:55 <flo> I was pondering the same thing
22:04:36 <aleth> It's probably better to add that behaviour, but it is at the cost of bringing back a twitter special case
22:05:08 <aleth> The benefit is the user can "forget" he is on twitter, as far as using IB is concerned
22:07:02 <flo> 1. The patch doesn't break the current twitter completion behavior (if we type @, the completion works, and currently there was no completion at all without the @)
22:07:12 <flo> 2. Do other twitter clients add that @ automatically?
22:07:32 <aleth> 1. Agreed, it breaks nothing. 2. I have no idea
22:07:57 <aleth> The drawback of adding @ automatically is the flipside of the benefit - it might be good to be reminded one is on twitter
22:08:00 <flo> ok, should I check it in with the change I pastebined?
22:08:32 <aleth> If there are no other problems you can see - yes. I think it's better than the status quo.
22:08:55 <aleth> Also then we can see if anyone complains about the twitter behaviour :)

22:11:55 <instantbot> Bug https://bugzilla.instantbird.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1185 nor, --, ---, nobody, NEW, No tab completion after brackets etc.
22:14:42 <aleth> flo: I have just done a brief google and it seems both Tweetdeck and Echofon (two random but well-known twitter clients) only ever autocomplete if you have typed @...
22:16:13 <aleth> So it's not entirely comparable. Anyway, we will soon find out
22:40:16 <flo> aleth: JavaScript error: chrome://instantbird/content/macgestures.js, line 193: getBrowser().selectedBrowser.scrollToPrevSection is not a function
22:40:26 <flo> I don't understand that error :-/
22:44:55 <aleth> :(
22:49:19 <aleth> could be an issue with a 'this' not being bound implicitly. i.e. would getBrowser().selectedBrowser.contentWindow fail while getBrowser().contentWindow works?
22:50:13 <aleth> I don't understand why it produces an error though
22:50:27 <flo> it was my bad, I hadn't rebuilt the chat/ folder
22:50:42 <flo> but I'm now sure that you haven't tested that patch before attaching it :-P
22:50:56 <flo> (there's a parse error in that method :-P)
22:51:01 <aleth> I said I couldn't test that part :D
22:51:12 <flo> I don't believe that
22:51:24 <aleth> macgestures?
22:51:38 <aleth> Ah you mean in the main file :(
22:51:47 <aleth> You're right, it's possible, as I made a change clokep suggested
22:51:57 <flo> it's scrollToPrevSection that isn't parsable
22:52:07 <flo> there's a trailing ) on the second line
22:52:38 <aleth> Sorry :( I indeed didn't test after making that change
22:55:51 <flo> it seems to work fine otherwise
22:56:18 <aleth> It should, that last change wasn't a functional change.
22:56:39 <flo> hmm, can I just fix the style nits instead of listing them?
22:56:46 <aleth> Sure :) 
22:56:53 <aleth> I'll learn from them anyway
22:59:08 <flo> I can't test the keyboard shortcut on Mac
22:59:16 <flo> (no Page Up/Down keys on my keyboard)
22:59:35 <aleth> I did test that part exhaustively. But not on Windows of course
23:00:12 <Mook_as> fn+up/down doesn't work?
23:00:17 <flo> if that's the only thing that doesn't work on Windows, we are still better off than Pidgin (which doesn't compile at all on Windows in it's latest release ;))
23:00:30 <aleth> oops
23:01:05 <flo> Mook_as: it does the page up/down action, but doesn't trigger aleth's code
23:01:20 <Mook_as> ah
23:01:30 <flo> Mook_as: I suspect the event doesn't have keyCode == KeyEvent.DOM_VK_PAGE_UP
23:01:48 <flo> (or aleth's code doesn't work; that's the other possible explanation ^^)
23:02:02 <flo> ooh, it needs alt too, sorry
23:02:03 * flo tries again
23:02:32 <aleth> I think there is a larger conversation to be had (maybe in a meeting?) about navigation in general (keyboard in particular), including the question of whether to introduce subsections for pings and/or search results and how to map that, that kind of thing
23:03:09 <flo> it works with fn+alt
23:03:13 <flo> thanks/sorry
23:04:43 <flo> aleth: I think the best way to start such a conversation is to file a bug, and to offer a proposal + the reasons why this proposal seems a good solution (= we can't use ... other key because it's already used for ..., etc...)
23:05:40 <aleth> flo: ok
23:05:58 <-- mmkmou has quit (Ping timeout)
23:06:17 <flo> otherwise if we just start discussing it in a meeting without prior "background" data, we will suggest lots of pointless (because impossible) things
23:06:33 <aleth> Yes, there are a lot of constraints, which make it difficult
23:08:13 <flo> + people aren't aware of all of them
23:08:38 <aleth> + to some extent they can't be as there will be OS-specific issues
23:09:43 <flo> they can use several OSes :-P
23:11:02 <aleth> but probably not all ;)
23:11:25 <aleth> Well, you maybe ;)
23:13:19 * flo is incompatible with Windows.
23:13:45 <flo> or Windows is incompatible with me. (which gives the same result)
