I'm running i3-wm, if that could be related in any way.

docs question

Most helpful comment

I was about to say that this is a good opportunity to increase our documentation but a quick search for (A) in the manpage brings up the relevant section.

If "show_indicators" is true and a notification has an action, an "(A)" will be prepended to the notification format. Likewise, an "(U)" is preneded to notifications with URLs. It is possible to interact with notifications that have actions regardless of this setting, though it may not be obvious which
notifications HAVE actions.

@atomheartother Does that answer your question? Any suggestions to improve the documentation?

Set show_indicators to false.

Don't I feel dumb, I searched all issues here and the documentation online and absolutely forgot you guys had a man page. I figured it was something like that though. Sorry for wasting your time, that fixed it of course.

No worries, it happens :)

@tsipinakis Hm well the "Configuration" section of the documentation is definitely empty, although I understand it's an open issue (#507) and a WIP. Is anyone currently working on filling that? I'd love to contribute to this awesome project.

This is a regular question. The (A) stands for action. So the notification is clickable (and does trigger something in your application). In case for discord, I guess it might open the corresponding chat.

Please keep this issue open. We'll cover this in our docs. We currently start to write some proper docs. And this question has to get answered there, too.
