Turn autocompleted `username` into mention (`@username`)
First party chat allows autocompletion of usernames in chat by hitting the Tab key, regardless of whether you prepend @
to your input. However, only usernames prepended with @
are effectively recognized as possible mentions (for example, in EventSub channel.chat.message events).
So please, consider prepending a @
when you autocomplete a username that doesn't start with it.
To clarify with examples:
- If you start typing @the_c
, hit tab and choose @the_ca11
from autocomplete options, enter @the_ca11
in the message input box
- If you start typing the_c
, hit tab and choose the_ca11
from autocomplete options, enter @the_ca11
in the message input box
