Version: 1.0 (using KDE KDE 3.5.4) Installed from: Compiled From Sources Compiler: gcc 4.0.3 OS: Linux People have wierd nicks. To stand out or to be sorted first/last or any other reason. The fact is that completing |``nick or ^nick (...) is not easy; by the time you can use tab completition, you already have done an "expensive" keycombo. So I'd like to see the following feature implemented: ignore arbitrary characters in nicks for nick completition it would be a configurable string, set of characters to ignore. So if it contained p.e. "|€^˛", once could tab complete ^nickname or °ni^ckname (...) without hassle, the name would appear as "nick" for the tab completition purposes, typing nick\t would be enough.
IIRC there's a hidden setting that does some of this, namely you can add this to your konversationrc: [Nick Completion] PrefixCharacter=~ ... and one of the modes (I think it was the completion box one?) will ignore that one character during completion. Your wish goes a little beyond that of course, and overall I think it's a good idea.
