2021-10-02
04:57
Added a toggle to play the audio alert (or not) for one's own messages (default=off) and added docs describing each configurable setting. ... (check-in: 8534eb75e1 user: stephan tags: chat-input-rework)
04:21
Do not play notification sound for the sender's own messages. This change was made and reverted before so may be subject to further debate. ... (check-in: 87c29eee98 user: stephan tags: chat-input-rework)
02:09
Reordered two config menu entries. Removed the enter/ctrl-enter toggle toast because that info is now in the edit widget's placeholder text and the toast can block access to config view entries for a few seconds. ... (check-in: b2d55ec947 user: stephan tags: chat-input-rework)
2021-10-01
18:17
Eliminated extraneous gap at the bottom of the page caused by the empty file attachment preview element. Tweaked that element's layout a bit when it is visible. ... (check-in: bca3d7f405 user: stephan tags: chat-input-rework)
18:10
Worked around a button glyph misalignment on some older FF versions. ... (check-in: 042fe8771f user: stephan tags: chat-input-rework)
18:01
Added the chat input area resize option to compact mode so there is a recovery strategy if someone manages to paste a whole book into that field. ... (check-in: 797e33ba6b user: stephan tags: chat-input-rework)
17:40
Removed the cumbersome and platform-dependent file selection widget from view and now proxy its activation via a new toolbar button. Saves space and looks nicer. ... (check-in: 2b07b66d59 user: stephan tags: chat-input-rework)
17:14
In compact mode, move the buttons below the input field in order to stop truncation and button layout shifting as the input field automatically resizes during editing. Takes up more a bit more space but provides better UX. ... (check-in: fe0760c95d user: stephan tags: chat-input-rework)
15:49
Button size tweaks for compact mode, to make them slightly more accessible on mobile devices. ... (check-in: 858e8153a7 user: stephan tags: chat-input-rework)
14:14
Added file attachment widget toggle (on by default) and reversed order of config options (top-down instead of bottom-up) because that simply seems more intuitive. ... (check-in: 40cdaeecd4 user: stephan tags: chat-input-rework)
14:01
Fixed chat-view scrolling, which was broken by a flexbox settings change in [71fbd1b01ba42ee6]. ... (check-in: e7e2e5e3c0 user: stephan tags: chat-input-rework)
13:40
Chat button truncation fix on narrow windows. Updated change log for new chat features. ... (check-in: d92a8f07b8 user: stephan tags: chat-input-rework)
13:33
Shrank the chat buttons in compact mode because (spoiler alert) Safari. ... (check-in: c08a707a40 user: stephan tags: chat-input-rework)
13:23
Minor layout improvement in compact mode: input field now really looks like it's one line high instead of 1.x. ... (check-in: 40119a06bc user: stephan tags: chat-input-rework)
13:01
Improved the flow of the chat input buttons so that they don't move around as the input area grows and shrinks. Removed max-height from compact-mode input. This makes compact mode behave more like what was requested in /chat, so that it grows organically as the user types. ... (check-in: 9191823207 user: stephan tags: chat-input-rework)
12:48
Made monospace the default because that setting now also applies to the input area and this chat is often used for conveying code. Accounted for a couple bits of skin-specific weirdness. ... (check-in: f9e2851a99 user: stephan tags: chat-input-rework)
12:26
Reimplemented [607b11ddc6] to use a proper feature check approach rather than user agent string check. ... (check-in: d96f6f195c user: stephan tags: chat-input-rework)
12:13
Found a Chrome-only workaround to tell Chrome not to paste formatting into the chat editor field. ... (check-in: 607b11ddc6 user: stephan tags: chat-input-rework)
2021-09-30
21:01
Documented the source of the extraneous end-of-line spaces when pasting from a console. Changed the markdown backslash-space-space workaround to backslash-n-spaces. ... (check-in: 87b0b12dc4 user: stephan tags: chat-input-rework)
20:37
Documented the reason for not setting a max-height on the new editor widget, and the side effects of that decision. ... (check-in: 71fbd1b01b user: stephan tags: chat-input-rework)
20:09
Figured out how to make the new input area resizable via CSS. ... (check-in: 91b653e845 user: stephan tags: chat-input-rework)
19:56
Re-enabled ctrl-enter-sends when enter-sends mode is active (was disabled during testing). Update the tooltip on the send button to reflect the current send mode. ... (check-in: 7d6c07496e user: stephan tags: chat-input-rework)
19:32
Forcibly disable drop support in the new editor widget, as the browser will otherwise allow the user to drop images to it, which is confusing and does not work with our ability to upload images. Found a way to implement placeholder text in the contenteditable field. ... (check-in: 86d6be3fe2 user: stephan tags: chat-input-rework)
17:24
Minor restructuring and docs in the enter/ctrl-enter handling. Trying to get ctrl-enter to add newlines when in enter-sends mode, but it's not working for reasons beyond my ken. ... (check-in: ab9fef759e user: stephan tags: chat-input-rework)
15:59
When stripping trailing spaces from lines to avoid the "console paste problem", leave markdown paragraph continuation markers intact. Robustified the config view layout in a trial-and-error attempt to defend against Safari-on-iPhone layout bugs. ... (check-in: cbc7f117e6 user: stephan tags: chat-input-rework)
03:43 Edit [a83defad3a950b15|a83defad3a]: Edit check-in comment. ... (artifact: 6606a0e03f user: stephan)
03:21
Provide a toast notification when ctrl-enter mode is toggled via keypress. ... (check-in: c448462596 user: stephan tags: chat-input-rework)
03:14
Split ctrl-enter/enter input modes and compact/spacious layout into two independent settings. ... (check-in: a83defad3a user: stephan tags: chat-input-rework)
02:11
Eliminated some of the new layout quirks caused by the change in /chat input field type. ... (check-in: bcfb758dc3 user: stephan tags: chat-input-rework)
2021-09-29
22:41
/chat button size refinement. ... (check-in: c24d2bb67c user: stephan tags: chat-input-rework)
22:30
Added mini-help hint text to /chat config view entries. ... (check-in: 3259251aeb user: stephan tags: chat-input-rework)
22:08
Significant reworking of chat input mode to use a single contenteditable element instead of two text input elements. This required considerable collateral cleanup in how the various settings are handled and communicated within the app. ... (check-in: b9c5792e34 user: stephan tags: chat-input-rework)
17:03
/chat: shift-enter when in preview mode now switches back to message list mode if the input field is empty. It was previously only possible to switch back via button or sending a message. ... (check-in: 79995e1355 user: stephan tags: trunk)
16:50
Merged in trunk for latest changes. ... (check-in: 09f86815c6 user: stephan tags: markdown-tagrefs)
16:45
Consolidated /wikiedit, /pikchrshow, /fileedit, and /chat to use shift-enter to run preview mode. The former 3 previously used ctrl-enter but it was poorly documented and probably not widely used like ctrl-enter is in chat (to send a message). ... (check-in: 13fabf3f4d user: stephan tags: trunk)
06:55
Merged in diff context loading fixes from Florian: off-by-one error for the single-line context case and a race condition for the click-queue. ... (check-in: 36bec9adac user: stephan tags: trunk)
2021-09-28
12:09
Query column miscount fix for (wiki list -t) as reported in [forum:5e6c3e3b78112df3]. ... (check-in: 3a2b13b8d0 user: stephan tags: trunk)
11:51
Another line-height tweak for the diff view to keep underscores from being truncated in Chromium. ... (check-in: ebf69b498e user: stephan tags: trunk)
11:22
/chat: experimental HTML5 history support for using the back button to return to a message from which a #nnn message ID was clicked. ... (check-in: 9df3fc6b0f user: stephan tags: markdown-tagrefs)
11:06
Merged in trunk. /chat changed jump-to-message animation to fade out/in, per requests. Added HTML5 history to /chat clicks on #NNN message references but it's disabled because it's behaving unexpectedly. ... (check-in: 99b23d0fa3 user: stephan tags: markdown-tagrefs)
09:45
Moved chat.js to fossil.page.chat.js, for consistency with the other single-page apps and to emphasize that it is not to be loaded on arbitrary pages. Changed chat's startup to wait until the page on-load event to avoid a related timing issue. ... (check-in: 3ec8c6c04d user: stephan tags: trunk)
2021-09-27
14:29
Hyperlink fix in changes.wiki ([forum:40ec3ab414]) and missing properties added to tester.tcl ([forum:9ca8f55c4c]). ... (check-in: 7ad4e1ad49 user: stephan tags: trunk)
2021-09-26
12:53
Merged in diff context multi-click load queue on behalf of Florian B., as discussed in/around [forum:c8919e12dd76bf23|forum post c8919e12dd76bf23]. ... (check-in: a49393a958 user: stephan tags: trunk)
2021-09-25
12:26
Added #NNN and #NNN.NNN references as a special case of hashtag, noting that it will currently match a prefix of #NNN.NNN.NNN. Taught /chat that clicking on such a reference should jump to the referenced message or toast the user that the message is not in the current history. ... (check-in: 4539bf8792 user: stephan tags: markdown-tagrefs)
11:35
/chat: when applying a filter, automatically switch to the messages view. Apply hashtag processing to the preview view. ... (check-in: b59a761bb2 user: stephan tags: markdown-tagrefs)
10:54
Improved the behavior in the face of multiple filters, applying only the most recent one. Added a button to clear filters which appears along the bottom of the message area if any filter is active. ... (check-in: 93bf25055a user: stephan tags: markdown-tagrefs)
08:17
More progress on the markdown #hashtag parsing. ... (check-in: ac5b66bb40 user: stephan tags: markdown-tagrefs)
07:20

2021-09-24
17:18
Added an optional widget to /chat which gives an overview of who is actively posting and enables filtering messages by users. ... (check-in: ce0d61bbae user: stephan tags: trunk)
