Configuration

order_by

Ordering that autocomplete uses to select from matching users.

• "recent": Autocomplete users by their last message in the channel; the user with most recent message autocompletes first, then increasingly older messages. Users with no seen messages are matched last, in the order specified by sort_direction.
• "alpha": Autocomplete users based on alphabetical ordering of potential matches. Ordering is ascending/descending based on sort_direction.

# Type: string
# Values: "alpha", "recent"
# Default: "recent"

[buffer.text_input.autocomplete]
order_by = "recent"

sort_direction

Sort direction when autocompleting alphabetically.

• "asc": ascending alphabetical (a→z)
• "desc": descending alphabetical (z→a)

# Type: string
# Values: "asc", "desc"
# Default: "asc"

[buffer.text_input.autocomplete]
sort_direction = "asc"

completion_suffixes

Sets what suffix is added after autocompleting. The first option is for when a nickname is autocompleted at the beginning of a sentence. The second is for when it's autocompleted in the middle of a sentence.

# Type: array of 2 strings
# Values: array of 2 strings
# Default: [": ", " "]

[buffer.text_input.autocomplete]
completion_suffixes = [": ", " "]
