Support mention feature

[ovalseven8]

I know that it's mostly done already (just some pending bugs to fix). So it's more like a reminder issue to activate it once the adjustments are done.

When will this finally come? I see #420 is still open…

[lgrahl]

Depends on #773

[iprok]

Hello! What's the progress here? All tasks that this one depends on seems to be fixed.

[lgrahl]

No progress beyond that.

Is there any workaround to create mentions with Threema web version 2.3.7?

[dbrgn]

Hi @matmai, there is! You can use the syntax @[identity] (e.g. @[ECHOECHO]) to mention the contact with the specified identity. This is what Threema uses internally.

thanks @dbrgn for the suggestion, it works!

Just pointing out to ensure using the ThreemaID as identifier (silly me that I tried using the nickname 😄 )

Will this be implemented now sice #773 is merged? Would be really great, since I use it mostly on the laptop to type faster :)

[dbrgn]

@gerbsen no. As noted in the README:

Threema Web is in maintenance mode while we are working on a new solution that should resolve some of the long-standing issues we were having with Threema Web. We will still do regular maintenance and fix critical bugs, but for now there will be no major new features or non-critical bugfixes. See #996 for more details.
