Gajim - 2024-02-26

Hi everyone, I have 2 questions on Gajim

Is there a way to jump between mentions/highlights? A hotkey or button to go the the previous highlights so I can easily read them back, a plugin would be fine too

And can I change the `,` after tab-completing a nickname to a `;`? I looked around in the preferences but couldn't find a setting for it

> And can I change the `,` after tab-completing a nickname to a `;`? I looked around in the preferences but couldn't find a setting for it in the advanced configuration editor, it's at gc_refer_to_nick_char

> Is there a way to jump between mentions/highlights? A hotkey or button to go the the previous highlights so I can easily read them back, a plugin would be fine too I don't think so

Ah, that explains why I couldn't just find it, thanks fjklp

you're welcome

And too bad about the highlights thing, thanks for the response <3

> Is there a way to jump between mentions/highlights? A hotkey or button to go the the previous highlights so I can easily read them back, a plugin would be fine too this seems like it would be a nice feature

I used to use it in my IRC client all the time, especially if there's a huge backlog in a room I just want to see what people wanted me specifically for

That feature is in the works (an activity stream showing all the mentions to scroll through)

Sounds nice

will gajim track our nick if we change it?

or does it track that the message was a mention only?

I'm happy to hear that, anyway

why would we track your nick change? ✏

or why do you think thats necessary to show you were mentioned in a message

ah i get it, you want to see that you were mentioned for past messages even after a nick change

actually, I hadn't thought of that reason

well, I figured either the database will either mark the message as having mentioned me, or we will track what nick we had at what time so we can detect a mention by correlating later

honestly, I'm too tired to think clearly right now

XEP-0452: MUC Mention Notifications is kind of interesting

maybe you consider it an edge case but if a user leaves a muc, changes nick and returns and gets the message archive, they will not be highlighted by mentions of their old nick

I'm not exactly sure how I would attempt to solve that

you could just keep track of every nick that the user has used in the muc and highlight any mention of any of them

Every user has a unique occupant Id but seems no spec yet uses it

lol

what spec mandates or recommends a unique occupant ID? ✏

I've added a method in `chat_stack.py` to record audio to a file: What's the right method to send this file? ✏

(This is about voice messages)

search for something like send-file

action

I think I got it which works. Thanks

Will continue working on it in April:

Hey that's nice :) which device are you accessing when the button is pressed? Default mic set in preferences?

I simply use the pulseaudio input currently, obviously this needs to be finegraded later

But via gst?

sure

Cool! Looking forward to this :) do you care to open a MR at this stage?

The code is awful in its current stage :D really just a straight forward "let me see how this could work". But if you don't care about it, I can already publish it. ✏

meson: as long as you mark it 'draft'. It's also a sign for others that this is being worked on

Needs to be cleaned up a lot. I do have some questions how to proceed at certain places, but I lack the time anyway now, but as said, in April I will look into it again.

Great !

> I simply use the pulseaudio input currently, obviously this needs to be finegraded later What about native support for pipewire?

Polarian, everything is possible, I was just happy to get it something together within 1-2 hours ;)

meson: hey, that's really cool to see. I'm sure it will make some people happy. It's been requested many times.

hey, new to xmpp. I've been evaluating different clients, and looking at gajim, I've noticed that it doesn't support any jingle encryption features. Is this impression accurate?

lister, if you want A/V support (with end to end encryption) you will need to use dino

meson: thanks a lot
