Description Murz 2013-10-25 06:49:57 UTC

Very often I need to search&replace some text in new incoming message, but I can't find the way how to do this in KDE Telepathy Text-UI. Can you create plugin that do plain or regular expression search and replace for each message before display it in window?

Reproducible: Always

Why do you do this? What do you find&replace?

For example, I want to convert links to local files file:///share/public/file.odt from plain text to a-href.

Other is to change shortcuts to full names, for example in our company we use crm/123 link shortcut to http://crm.mydomain.com/task.php?id=123 

Also change phones +79201234567 to IP-telephony link <a href=sip:79201234567>+79201234567</a> and many other automation ideas.

I see that already exists plugin "Bugzilla Information" - it works only for Bugzilla, and "Web Shortcuts", but in world there are many other systems that need same functionality.

So will be good to do this plugins more universal, or as easier solution - create regexp search&replace plugin.
