Previously, exact matches could be pushed off the typeahead list in the
case where there were more prefix matches that happened to rank first,
which is confusing to the user: if an emoji, for instance, falls into
this category, it will never show up in typeahead, which is easy to
confuse with the emoji not existing.
This isn't a perfect fix — there are still cases where it's hard to find
emojis because the prefix-space is very crowded, but it does fix a
category of surprising and frustrating behaviour.
This doesn't come completely without downside - it means that the exact
match emoji will jump to the front of the list, which changes what is
currently conceptually a "filtering" operation to a "filtering and
sorting" operation, but it seems on the whole to be a more ideal
experience. This is particularly notable in the non-typeahead emoji
picker, which uses the same codepath, but this change seems somewhat
desirable even there, since it allows the user to type the name of an
emoji and press enter and have that emoji show up, without having to
visually confirm that they aren't inadvertently selecting a
prefix-matching emoji.
A better solution to this in the long term might be ordering emoji
results by shortest-first as a tiebreaker for alphabetical ordering,
since that should provide the same behaviour while keeping the mental
model as "filtering" (since the sort order won't change as the user
types), but this seems like a reasonable first pass, and changing to
shortest-first ordering after making this change won't break any muscle
memory for existing users.
We change the text. This is an attempt to make the text space occupied by
the col header of last message timestamp smaller so that
it doesn't overflow to next line in some languages.
Also, add some extra padding.
We don't need to handle user clicking on Zulip logo since
changing the hash via the `a` tag takes care of it automatically.
Also, cleanup the narrow.restore_home_state function since
it is no longer being used.
We manually trigger a re-render of RT after a stream is muted
to update the list of topic in RT for the active filter.
This fixes the bug that RT doesn't update correctly
after a stream is muted.
On safari, after search box wraps to next line on smaller widths,
it is not visible due to some flex box default property difference
between chrome and safari. We fix this by resetting default
property.
If user is in private message narrow, we reduce height of stream
list to allow height for pm list in the left sidebar. We need
to recalculate it when moving out of pm narrow and moving in
rt narrow.
We need to increase a bit of spacing around text in rows at <750px
because row height is reduced after hiding avatars. We use
padding instead of line height so that this plays nice when text
is wrapped.
Note more padding is also required for >750px now because text
can be wrapped now and take more width than avatars.
Since All messages narrow is no longer home page for webapp,
we change its icon to align-left which also shows a concept of
interleaved topics / messages.
When idle, we try to backfill messages and in the end reselect
the closest message in the list, which can be a unread message
if present.
When recent topics is open, we can backfill messages; but
shouldn't select the message_id otherwise it will mark the
message as read if the message is unread while triggering
`message_selected.zulip`.
User can go from recent topics to stream / topic narrow via various
means, but all go through narrow.activate, hence we make sure all the
state changes we do in recent_topics.hide are actually applied when we
hide recent topics and go to another narrow.
This fixes the bug that narrowing from left sidebar to a stream
takes user to the top of the narrow.
The top row of the RT can be hidden sometimes after scrolling down
and then scrolling up. This is because the focus is applied before
the row is rendered. Applying the focus after the topic row is
rendered by the browser makes sure it is always visisble when
it needs to be.
For inputs to recent topics which were unhandled, we return false
so that the browser can handle them.
This also fixes the issue of search box not able input `t` key.
We land user on the first row of the table instead of the search
box because here user can access hotkeys like `w`, `q`, `/`, etc,
which will not be directly available if user is focused in
recent topics search box.
For tests:
We set focus to search by default to avoid mocking a lot of
table html for getting the tests passing.
This fixes the bug where a user cannot type vim keys in the
general search box / user search / stream search,
since they are captured by recent topics.
The behaviour was flaky for stream search, but can be reproduced
consistently after previous commit fixing the popovers.any_active
output.
Previously the filter would be reset every time the page was
refreshed. This commit adds persistence via localstorage, the tests
follow the pattern used in tests for drafts.
Fixes: #15676.
When user directly has hash for overlay in the URL when app loads,
we need to still show recent topics in the background. This
doesn't need to happen in other cases when user is accessing
the overlay after UI is loaded.
Go to Recent Topics on "#", no hash and "#recent_topics".
Go to Recent Topics as the last destination for escape key.
Map `a` key to All messages and change its hash to
`#all_messages`.
throttled mousewheel handler marks messages as read in the
message_list regardless of if the message_list is visible or not.
We don't trigger it if recent_topics is visible.
Recent Topics is no longer an overlay now, but note that it is
also not a typical messages narrow. It can reside between
an overlay and a Filter in the sense that it is dispalyed as
a typical Filter narrow but has properties of an Overlay.
Compose box is not visible in this view as it will be confusing
to many users and hence compose shortcuts have also been disabled.
Keyboard shortcuts that apply on messages have also been disabled.
The remaining shortcuts that apply to a narrow are still accessible
here.
This issue adds the appropriate padding to the
copy_generate_invite_link class. This fixes the copy link icon which
seemed to be shifted when clicked.
Fixes#16868
This commits gives a right margin to the stream description
so that it does not collide with the icon on its right and
also become better visually appealing.
