Please don't put exclamation marks in a title in future.

I don't like the concept of having "/clear" it's not intuitive, we don't follow any other commands common to IRC "/join" "/quit" etc. "/me" is a special case as it's actually referenced by XMPP.

I am happy for it to be an entry in the edit menu with an assigned keyboard shortcut. That's more in line with most KDE app behaviour.

Sorry for the exclamation marks.
I will live with a menu entry for clearing the chat window.

Thanks,

Confirming, aiming for the next release after this one (0.6)

Comment 4 Rohan Garg 2012-10-22 11:04:14 UTC

When clearing the window, should we also clear logs? If so, should we clear all logs? or just the recent messages?

Comment 5 Filipe Azevedo 2012-10-22 11:55:32 UTC

My primary goal was simply to clear the widget content - not to touch the internal log.
We can already delete log using the discussion history tool.

Comment 6 Rohan Garg 2012-10-22 12:01:26 UTC

Ah, so something to just clear the chat view, and nothing else. Got it.

Comment 7 Filipe Azevedo 2012-10-22 12:04:42 UTC

Clear the content of the active discussion, exactly ;)
