Essentials: Be able to change "Shout" symbol, EssentialsChat

Feature request

Feature description
Be able to change the symbol required to "Shout" a message on EssentialsChat. The default symbol required to shout is "!".

How the feature is useful
Would be very useful for avoiding conflicts with other plugins also using that symbol as command. In my case, it would be more helpful than useful, since it would be for simple esthetic because everyone in my network is very used to use "@" symbol more than "!" for shouting messages.

Thanks a lot for accepting my suggestion darbyjack!

Keeping this open until I implement the PR.

After further investigation, this looks to be an easter egg and can already be modified if you create a section in the config called chat.shout and you set the character for it, meaning it can already be changed.

Oh! Didn't know about it, thanks darbyjack! But... could you please give me a more detailed description on how to create it? I tried creating a new node on EssentialsChat section of the config named chat.shout, with a value '@' so the shout would require @ symbol instead of ! but didn't work :(

You'll need to add the option inside the chat: section of your config.yml:

  ############################################################
  # +------------------------------------------------------+ #
  # |                   EssentialsX Chat                   | #
  # +------------------------------------------------------+ #
  ############################################################

  # You need to install EssentialsX Chat for this section to work.
  # See https://essentialsx.cf/wiki/Module-Breakdown.html for more information.

  chat:
+   shout: '@'

    # If EssentialsX Chat is installed, this will define how far a player's voice travels, in blocks. Set to 0 to make all chat global.
    # Note that users with the "essentials.chat.spy" permission will hear everything, regardless of this setting.
    # ...

Make sure you've indented it properly.
