To implement this, we are rendering users in PMs with
the status icon (via `user_with_status_icon.hbs`) and
then passing rendered HTML to the recent topics row.
Fixes#23262
We have bound the `mouseenter` event with a circle
status parent element to render the tooltip. Instead of passing
the tooltip content directly in `data-tippy-content`, we
are rendering it via JS because when showing the bot
tooltip we want a multiline tooltip.
We have also made some minor changes to `do_render_buddy_list_tooltip`,
so we can append the tooltip to the target element and avoid adding
a observer to it.
This commit also sets the font weight for tippy content to
400 to avoid bold content.
Fixes#23332
Check if col we are trying to focus exists for the row inside
`set_table_focus`.
We call `revive_current_focus` after `topics_widget` is defined
since it can be used inside it.
Fixes#23331
Combine checks for last row between `vim_dowm` and `down_arrow`.
Check for the presence of unread counter in `set_table_focus`
directly so that it can be used in other cases as well. This is
especially useful when marking the last row in the table as read.
We used to hide and show topic rows in the DOM when topics are
updated. This resulted in incorrect calculations in the length of
visible topics. As a consequence, focus is sometimes set to hidden topic.
Removing hidden topics from DOM helps us keep
the calculations correct.
The fixes bugs related to focus being lost when trying to mute
or mark as read the last row.
This commit introduces the change of rendering private messages
section as collapsible, whose data-fetching logic came with zulip#21357.
We now have separated out `Private messages` from `top_left_corner`
section and shifted it below the `global_filters` in a different
separate section along with stream list with common scroll bar
in left-sidebar.
The new PM section will be opened by-default on loading the page
and will have a toggle-icon in its header, clicking on which makes the
section collapse/expand accordingly.
In default view, only recent 5 PM threads would be shown
and would append the active conversation as the 6th one at last
if not present in those 5, similar to how topics list work.
In PM section with unreads, a maximum of 8 conversations
would be shown and rest of them would be hidden behind
the 'more conversations' li-item, clicking on which takes
to the zoomedIn view of PM section where all the present
PM threads would be visible and rest of the sections of left-sidebar
will get collapsed.
Fixes#20870.

Replaces instances of "recent topics" in the web-app and documentation
to be "recent conversations".
Renames both `recent-topics.md` files in the help center to be
`recent-conversations.md` and updates/redirects links to new URL.
Does not update instances of "recent topics" in frontend code comments
and does not update the main overview changelog, for now.
Does not change case study text where "recent topics" was referenced
in a quote, but does change generic text references to be "recent
conversations".
Fixes#22984
Add an `@` icon in unread topics where user is mentioned.
We track a new set of `stream_id:topic` pairs for the unread mentions
so that recent topics instantly knows if a topic is unread and mentioned
or not.
This change is to match the behaviour of page up/down on messages.
So, If you hit PageUp/Down while there's no additional pace to scroll,
we move the selected topic to the first/last topic as appropriate.
Fixes#23078.
Instead of relying on browser, we handle the page up/down keys
to ensure we take care of some rows being hidden due to compose
box and table header.
Translates browser titles for "All messages" and "Recent topics"
views.
Prep commit for rewriting `update_narrow_title` to use
`filter.get_title` as a helper for setting browser title text.
This commit adds private messages to the Recent topics view, to make
it an all-encompassing overview of recent activity visible to the user.
We add a filter "Include PM" to toggle whether PMs should be shown in
recent topics.
Fixes#19449.
The original change in 5f127c85f7 was
intended to make the loop in message_lists.js not include a
potentially stale message_lists.current in the event that one is
viewing recent topics.
We revert that change and instead do the simpler thing of explicitly
checking whether we're viewing recent topics.
I was not able to prove this code was responsible for incidents this
week where all messages were marked as read while working in "Recent
topics", but is suspicious.
Likely the correct thing is to set message_lists.current to undefined
in this code path; I'm pretty sure it's an orphaned message list that
is no longer visible when viewing topics.
When a message is deleted, if it was the only message in the topic
and it was the previously focused message in recent topics, then
the topic is no longer in the recent topics data.
In this case, we revive the focus to the adjacent message or, if it
was the last message in the view, the focus is reset to the search
bar.
`current` should ideally be `undefined` here to reflect the
correct narrow state but to make sure background updates of
message_list go smoothly, we set it to home.
Following c31ab1bcb5, the keyboard
navigation in Recent Topics has been buggy, because the number of
columns with actionable elements now varies with whether the topic
has any unreads.
Fix the keyboard dead reckoning logic to understand that there's a
different number of columns depending on whether the unread count is
present.
This does not fully make the experience nice, but it's enough to tide
us over for now.
Fixes: #21654.
This is preperatory commit for #21654.
We extract the logic for arrow key navigation when focused on table to
separate functions so it is easy to add more functionality in future
and will not clutter the switch block.
Fixes a part of: #21654
This fixes the bug where spectators can have filters selected
in recent topics if a logged in user has selected filters in the
same browser.
Log in, select a filter and log out to reproduce this.
This'll be shown only when in a different narrow from what
you're composing to.
Takes care of updating display of the button on moving from
one narrow to another and also on changing inputs. This is
what contributes to majority of js code in this commit.
We are not displaying this for private messages since we do not
have a consistent design for both stream and private compose areas.

Thanks to Vlad Korobov for the icon and for proposing various
designs.
Instead of setting `disable` attribute to the elements, we make
them look like disabled and remove interactions with them. This
helps us keep the hotkey handling logic for navigation easier
to manage.
Fixes#21279
As detailed in this conversation:

This time format change is not working out as an improvement for at
least some users, myself included.
I think we do want to use some of the refinements attempted here (and
in particular, I'm keeping the new function with its nice test suite),
but I think it's better to revert now and fix forward in a future
release.
See #19775 for added background.
It turns out that the bug this call hopes to fix only happens when the
user first loads the page to recent_topics and then navigates to a
view with a message list (any other view), but we'd make this call
every time the recent topics table was hidden.
Hence, this commit makes it such that we only make that call if (1)
the page is loaded to recent_topics and (2) we're switching from
recent_topics to a message list view for the first time. We achieve
(1) via binding a handler via ui_init.initialize_everything and (2) by
binding the handler as `.one`, so that it's unbound after its first
invocation.
Additionally, we use window.requestAnimationFrame to prevent this
forcing the browser to do a reflow unnecessarily.
Combined with other commits in this series, this fixes a major
performance problem when leaving recent topics for another view.
See #20255 for details.
This is partially a prep commit to correctly saving/restoring the
position of the blue message select box when using browser
back/forward navigation, and partially a bug fix that ensures that
switching from "all_messages" to "recent_topics" preserves one's
position in "all_messages".
Note that this is with regards to saving the visual position of the
selected message, not about saving "which message was selected".
It's 2022 and the WHATWG no longer recognizes the term URI. Everything
is now a URL or a type of URL. Which is great because it's way less
confusing. Details here:

An attacker could maliciously craft a full name for their account and
send messages to a topic with several participants; a victim who then
opens an overflow tooltip including this full name on the recent
topics page could trigger execution of JavaScript code controlled by
the attacker.

We follow how other apps present older messages, e.g. Gmail,
Facebook Messenger, etc. display it.
Specifically, the logic we use is:
If the time is <24hr ago, show an absolute time, like "21:30" (or "9:30pm").
Otherwise, show what day it was, and not a time
If the day was yesterday, say "Yesterday".
Otherwise, if it was <7 days ago, say the day of week, like "Friday".
Otherwise, if it was <1 year ago, say the month and day, like "Sep 6".
Otherwise, say the year, month, and day, like "Sep 9, 2020".
With some tweaks from Tim Abbott to better handle the future case.
Fixes#19775
Notifies user when messages are not being marked as read through a
banner that lets them mark all messages in the narrow as read. Note
that the banner is only displayed if the user's actions, like
scrolling, would've actually marked the messages as read.
This avoids distracting the user when viewing a thread they've already
read.
tabbott has verified that if new messages come in, the banner will reappear.
Fixes: #18768.
Going through the description of commit
a150b9b0ae is highly recommended since
this is a related issue.
We had received a complaint on chat.zulip.org about navigation with
the keyboard `n` key being significantly slow (~5 seconds), the first
time `n` was pressed when starting from the recent topics view.
It was difficult to reproduce the amount of lag that was reported, but
running chrome with the profile tab set to 4x slowdown helped get
close to it.
Based on profiling from the original report, as well as locally with
chrome set to 4x slowdown, led to the realisation that recent topics
to stream navigation involved a lot of dom thrashing, and so this
series of commits aims to prevent this path from causing forced
reflows.
In this commit, we reorder the calls to $(...).show() in
recent_topics_ui.hide(), this prevents the first reflow in this path,
most likely because displaying message_feed_container before
message_view_header_underpadding was guaranteed to cause style
recalculations since the underpadding is visually above the message
container.
This causes a net 60 ms decrease in the first renarrow, an ~ 70 ms
increase in the second renarrow and an ~ 5 ms increase in the third
renarrow but, more importantly, it eliminates one reflow and sets on a
path where we can achieve strong gains in subsequent commits.
Since the position of topic in recent topics can change, we
focus the last selected topic using the `topic_key` instead
of relying `row_focus` value which is incorrect.
When user is scrolling, we simply keep the center element in
focus.
When user is using hotkeys, we keep the focused element in
center.
When user is using keyboard, we need to always keep the
"focused" topic in visible scrolling area.
We determine if the topic row is above or below the visible
area and scroll half_height_of_visible_area so that the selected
topic is visible.
This gives a nice navigation experience for both the views.
Reduced height of recent topics table to account for
compose box so that focused element is not below compose box.
Previously, navigating from any stream to the recent topics view would
cause a forced reflow every time we checked `is_visible()` because it
would call `$("#recent_topics_view").is(":visible")`.
The reason for this is related to how browsers ship frames, the
process follows these steps:
JavaScript > style calculations > layout > paint > composite.
(The layout step is called Reflow in firefox.)
Typically, the browser will handle these steps in the most optimal
manner possible, delaying expensive operations until they're needed.
However, it is possible to cause the browser to perform a layout
earlier than necessary. An example of this is what we previously did:
When we call `top_left_corner.narrow_to_recent_topics()`, we ask to
add a class via `.addClass()`, this schedules a Style Recalculation,
then, when we call `message_view_header.make_message_view_header()` it
calls `recent_topics_util.is_visible()` which calls
`$("#recent_topics_view").is(":visible")`.
Before the browser can get this value, it realizes that our dom was
invalidated by `.addClass()` and so it must execute the scheduled
Style Recalculation and cause a layout.
This is called a forced synchronous layout.
This commit adds a JavaScript variable representing the visible state,
in order to prevent the above behavior.
This commit reduces the main thread run time of
`build_message_view_header` from 131.81 ms to 5.20 ms.
Unfortunately we still have the case where
`recent_topics_ui.revive_current_focus()` calls
`recent_topics_ui.set_table_focus()` which causes a reflow.
However, by eliminating this reflow we still save ~100ms.
(It's important to note that we only save this sometimes, as other
things can still cost us a reflow.)
