We can un-clutter our message context menu, which we had to share
with user actions. (Even though we only had one so far.) I added one new
user-specific action which allows you to quickly mention the user in
chat. Otherwise you would've had to copy their username or use the
completion menu.
It's convergent on mobile, it still has the hover indicator and it also
is available through the AuthorComponent.
BUG: 486252
This merge request works around an annoying startup hang that I introduced when adding text-to-speech to NeoChat. The previous implementation was a QML singleton that used the `TextToSpeech` QML component. Unfortunately that component blocks the UI thread when first loading it, while it connects to speech-dispatcher.
This MR just rewrites that singleton in C++, and moves initialization of QtTextToSpeech to the first time you read a message aloud. It doesn't fix the performance problem, but it at least stops it from affecting startup.
In the future, I'd like to move speech operations to a background thread to completely mitigate the initialization freeze.
Replace HoverActions with an inline action component that appears on hover. There are only actions for reply and react if there is space the overflow button opens the normal message menu.
NOTE: the most recent update changes things slightly, from the images below the buttons are now top aligned because of potentially hige messages. The actions are also now disabled for compact mode as they never really made sense there anyway. The menu now has all options so no one is missing out.
For normal messages
{width=419 height=138}
When space is limited
{width=411 height=130}
User messages
{width=296 height=114}
