Hi hi!

I haven't found this suggestion yet so I decided to post it, to me it seems like a nice addition, as it also greatly improves my programming experience in an IDE. (Don't mind this if you don't know what it is)

Basically, have you ever met mice in-game who have names that are very difficult to type in a single attempt and you want to whisper/chat/w.e to them? Why not have a small feature in the chat text field that when you press the <TAB> key it gives you a (limited) list of the people that match the piece of name you typed in?
It would check all names in your current room, your online friends and your tribe.

If that wasn't very clear to you or you're just too lazy to comprehend what I just said, here are a few images I took/made:

Say, I type in "M"...


...and press the <TAB> key


As you can see, it took names from room, friends. (it should check tribe too)
Now I type in "r"...


...and so the list updates itself. I press <TAB> once again...


...there we go, I got the name I wanted to type!

Now you might be thinking, Mrpopperz, that wasn't too hard to type -.-" But that's not my point here, this was just a demo of how it could or should look like.

A few additional notes:
- The list is sorted alphabetically (bottom → top, see images above).
- The auto completion works everywhere in your sentence, not just in the beginning of your line.
- An extra thing that could be added: make the names in the list clickable, so when you click a name, it will write it down.

Q&A :

Lagiacruss a dit :

~Will it pop up the friend list and/or tribe list when you use this feature, or will it just take names without bringing them up?
~Will the second [TAB] stroke only count when one name is showing, since the second [TAB] stroke would put that name in chat?

The friend / tribe list shouldn't pop up of course. As Polypopu said I only showed it so you could see it gets it from friend / room / tribe list. A solution for huge tribes with a lot of members online, could be to only autocomplete tribe names when you've already have the "/t" at the beginning. The second <TAB> stroke could count as well, for example it could take the first name from the list, that being the bottom one as it's sorted alphabetically.
