Weechat: Change in behavior: nick completion no longer adds space

[craigmaloney]

Question

It seems that with weechat 2.4 I'm no longer getting a space whenever I tab-complete a nick.

Before I would get the following (spaces are denoted with "b")

cm[tab] would expand to "cmaloney:b"

now I get:

cm[tab] expands to "cmaloney:"

The space was present in previous versions, but for some reason it seems to have changed.

Is there a setting that I'm overlooking to set the behavior back to adding the space after the colon?

(Thanks in advance)

I think you are missing

core: do not automatically add a space when completing "nick:" at the beginning of command line (the space can be added in option weechat.completion.nick_completer)

From the changelog https://weechat.org/files/changelog/ChangeLog-2.4.html

Ah. That's the one. Thanks.

Curious why this changed in between releases. :grin:

@craigmaloney: this has been changed to be more flexible. You can choose to add a space or not, but the space remains the default; this is just not automatically set automatically on upgrade, see: https://weechat.org/files/releasenotes/ReleaseNotes-devel.html#v2.4_nick_completer
