I didn't realize when redoing the tooltip for DMs that directChatInvites
was a boolean, not an integer type. Now it's changed to an integer type,
which fixes the DM invite count.
NeoChat apparently didn't count normal room invites until now either, so
now Home is highlighted in that case. Now it should be harder to miss
these kinds of invites.
You can see this while starting NeoChat, as it always fails because
localMember() isn't valid at this point. This is called during the
ChatBar setup as we're setting up the text, which also happens during
room switch.
I forgot to horizontally center the room alias label, so it was usually
stuck to the left-side. I also don't know why I put the room alias on
top and the room name on the bottom, so those are swapped now too.
Without doing this, it's possible to start NeoChat and have no badge
count despite having notable notifications. The reason for this is if
badgeNotificationCount was updated and changed before this function
call, and a call to refreshBadgeNotificationCount doesn't emit the
changed signal.
This is easy to work around by calling updateBadgeNotificationCount
ourselves.
As seen in the bug report, this setting is a bit confusing. First, it
refers to "message activity" but in reality it does take into account
all events. This is fine in my opinion, so I clarified that point.
Another thing is that it wasn't clear that timeline visibility settings
currently affect the sorting, so I added a tip about that.
Finally I wasn't happy with these two options being called "Activity"
so the old "Activity" setting is now called "Importance". The "Last
Message Activity" setting is now called "Newest Events".

For example, accepting a verification on another device shows a giant
red security icon which isn't really suitable. I chucked the
dialog-information icon in for some of the neutral-sounding messages so
this dialog can be a little less intimidating.

I find myself doing the same routine: I want to inspect a room's state,
so I have to go hunting for the Developer Tools button. And then I have
to do a few clicks to even get the correct room, what a waste of time!
So I added a new button to the sidebar to open the Developer Tools for
the current room.
As we've continued to add more and more room actions, I'm not entirely
happy with how they're worded. Some are super short and sweet like
"Verify User" while others refer to the room as if the sidebar wasn't
enough context: "Search in this room".
I redid all of the button's text so they're shorter, like "Search
Messages".
Right now there's not an easy way to quickly bring up message search. If
you press CTRL+F (with the room information sidebar *closed*, for some
reason) that brings up the same dialog as CTRL+K which seems redundant.
I assigned that shortcut to the message search dialog instead, which is
makes much more sense in my opinion. I also made sure its disabled in
spaces or when there's not a room open.

We would incorrectly show a "truncate" button for standalone images
which isn't applicable since there's no text. That check has been fixed,
and it doesn't seem to regress normal link previews.
Another is that if there's only an image, our layout would center the
image which looks awkward since almost everything else is left-aligned
in chat. This is also fixed, which notably matches up to Element Web's
behavior.
I added support for the hover link indicator as well. Someone could
maliciously hide it via Markdown but have a legitimate-looking link
preview, for example. You can check that by hovering over the link in
the message itself, but now the link preview is another way to confirm
that!
Widgets support is incredibly useful and so is this button, but it has a
few problems. The most obvious is that it's still enabled even if you
don't actually have the permission to start Jitsi meetings, so I fixed
that. I also made sure it's hidden when viewing spaces too.
Another problem is that you can't easily tell if a meeting is currently
in progress either, nor do we have a good icon for that in Breeze. So I
changed the tooltip and colored the icon in this case.
The final problem I fixed is something not exclusive to NeoChat, but
generally all chat applications with this feature - there's no
confirmation! To stop "butt-dialing" random people or rooms, I added a
prompt before starting or joining a meeting.
