Moved keydown handler from inline React prop to useEffect with
addEventListener on the input ref. Uses a ref to track latest
dropdown state, avoiding stale closure issues that prevented
arrow keys from working. Added stopPropagation on Enter to
prevent form submission race. Guard in handleSubmit to bail
when a dropdown is open.
Previously selecting a slash command with Enter just filled the
input, requiring a second Enter to send. Now Enter directly
executes the command transform (or opens /poll modal) and sends.
Arrow up/down cycles through items with highlight. Enter selects
the highlighted item. Escape dismisses the dropdown. Index resets
when the query changes.
Type / at start of message to see available commands.
Commands: /shrug, /tableflip, /unflip, /lenny, /bear,
/disapprove, /facepalm, /cry, /dance, /hug, /greet,
/me (action text), /spoiler (hidden text).
Autocomplete dropdown with tab-complete. Commands transform
input text client-side before sending. Unknown /commands
pass through as regular messages.
Moved EmojiPicker inside the form element so it anchors to the
input area (form is already position:relative). Picker now pops
up above the input instead of floating in the message scroll area.
renderContent: mention span now includes trailing space when the
next text segment doesn't start with one (React collapses whitespace
between sibling inline elements).
handleMentionSelect: avoid double space when the text after cursor
already starts with a space.
Wired existing typing store (backend WS broadcast + frontend
_handleTypingEvent with 3s auto-expiry) into ChatArea and DMChat.
Typing events throttled to once per 3s. Shows 'X is typing...' or
'X and N others are typing...' below the messages, above the input.
Both ChatArea and DMChat now detect when you scroll near the top
and fetch the next 50 older messages. Scroll position is preserved
so you don't lose your place. Works for both server channels and
DM conversations.
gif.url is the giphy.com page link, gif.images.fixed_height.url is
the actual media CDN URL. react-markdown was rendering a dead link
instead of an embedded image.
