This is the start of a significant refactoring of everything related to sending messages, which is roughly:
- the chatbox
- action handling
- message sending on the c++ side
- autocompletion of users/rooms/emojis/commands/things i forgot
Notable changes so far include:
- ChatBox is now a ColumnLayout. As part of this, i removed the height animations for now. <del>as far as i can tell, they were broken anyway.</del> I'll readd them later
- Actions were refactored to live outside of the message sending function and are now each an object; it's mostly a wrapper around a function that is executed when the action is invoked
- Everything that used to live in ChatBoxHelper is now in NeoChatRoom; that means that the exact input status (text, message being replied to, message being edited, attachment) is now saved between room switching).
- To edit/reply an event, set `NeoChatRoom::chatBox{edit,reply}Id` to the desired event id, `NeoChatRoom::chatBox{reply,edit}{User,Message}` will then be updated automatically
- Attachments behave equivalently with `NeoChatRoom::chatBoxAttachmentPath`
- Error message reporting from ActionsHandler has been fixed (same fix as in !517) and moved to NeoChatRoom
Broken at the moment:
- [x] Any kind of autocompletion
- [x] Mentions
- [x] Fancy effects
- [x] sed-style edits
- [x] last-user-message edits and replies
- [x] Some of the actions, probably
- [x] Replies from notifications
- [x] Lots of keyboard shortcuts
- [x] Custom emojis
- [x] ChatBox height animations
TODO:
- [x] User / room mentions based on QTextCursors instead of the hack we currently use
- [x] Refactor autocompletion stuff
- [x] ???
- [x] Profit
Add a temporary highlight when the goToEvent is triggered.
This implementation also alows a temporary highlight of an item at anytime if the timeline container's isTemporaryHighlighted property is set to true.
Closesnetwork/neochat#34
Moves the highlight to the timeline container object itself so the whole delegate is highlighted. This was suggested for compact mode but I also left it visible for bubble as I think it still works and adds some user feedback.
Fine tunes the hover actions as follows:
- In compact mode as long as the screen is wide enough they are inset further so they don't overlap the up and down buttons.
- In bubble mode for a user message on the right they are inset slightly further so that they don't overlap the scrollbar
Fine tuned the spacing around the avatar and highlight.
Based upon the suggestions here network/neochat#550
Bubble Before - no highlight can be seen

Replace the custom Placeholder + BusyIndicator with the new LoadingPlaceholder component.
Also remove the "Loading…" page title on first load, as that is redundant to the existing front-and-center "Loading…" message and hence doesn't look nice.
Fix the reply an edit text being shown in all chat rooms when multiple windows are open. This is done by changing chatBoxHelper from a singleton to being instantiated for each instance of roompage.
BUG: 454963
This is an alternative to network/neochat!467. When discussing in the matrix channel this option seemed more popular so I implemented it.
Mark the unread messages in the room as read when all messages are visible to the user after a short timer. This happens on entry and when new messages come in as long as Neochat is active. If neochat isn't active, the room hasn't loaded or the read marker hasn't loaded the timer is for this is reset until all 3 conditions are false.
Fixes it so that the cleaned text is shown when using the shortcuts to reply or edit from the chatbar. Also ensures that the correct eventids are passed when the message is an edit.
This also fixes the issue of having html pasted into the chatbar when editing and edit.
Fixesnetwork/neochat#448
BUG: 455016
Instead of passing every argument in the right order, pass the entire
model/event object to the context menu functions. This is less copy
pasta of code and the order of the args is now less likely to break in
the future.

In the "Compact" layout the hover item is on top of the time label
and the wrong mapping base caused a weird offset. Now we simply
just position the hover item immediately above the current item.
Tells the user that the message could not be decrypted because the key
was not shared with the device. At the moment, this is technically not
completely correct, but it will be when libQuotient supports reading
encrypted messages
