  • amix
    for example to complete my name you can write "@ AM" (without the space) -> @AM
  • amix
    (this is useful for users that use display names...)
  • amix
    damn it, there's a bug (p_startled)
  • gh3 says
    it works fine! gg! ;-)
  • LBinVA says
    very cool!
  • oyunfound says
    so if i say amix then....
  • stfoo
    amix, how it works with my nick?
  • gh3 says
    stfoo long nick test
  • gh3 says
    it seems not work as well with "@ Roc" it has just detected it as "stfoo"
  • webRat is
    confused too. @
  • amix
    gh3: that's the idea :-), it will point to his profile
  • webRat says
    Ah ha!
  • amix
    hmm but i can see that it's a bit confusing (g_thinking)
  • webRat says
    Only at first, now it's my new best friend.
  • amix
    it can be made better, so when you type "@ roc" it will be set to "Rocket Red" and point to his profile
  • webRat says
    It's shorthand basically. You need to explain that it's the same as typing @ webRat, but you just type webRat instead.
  • oyunfound says
    so what if somone has similar spellings , names?
  • webRat says
    er... @ web.
  • bunneh says
    what's the search space? your friends only?
  • webRat
    assumes anyone in this thread.
  • bunneh says
    or the comments in the thread too
  • bunneh says
    w00t
  • clickykbd
    but what if we are gossiping? ;-)
  • amix
    it searches in the current responses
  • bunneh says
    that makes sense
  • webRat says
    If you're gossiping, use the full name. :-P
  • gh3 says
    but there is no reply by stfoo in these thread :x
  • clickykbd
    what's a social service without gossip?
  • webRat says
    @am, what happens when there's a thread with more than one "@ web" for example? If webRat and webDude existed?
  • webRat says
    er.. bug... don't use a comma after shorthanding.
  • clickykbd
    a similar shorthand method for sending private plurks via the normal textbox post would be fun.
  • webRat
    agrees.
  • Jesper
    plurkykbd - true true !!
  • LBinVA says
    testing the Plurk Overlord Wen
  • LBinVA says
    okay,that so didn't work :-(
  • shaf
    @"sweet smiles"
  • shaf
    grrrrrr
  • webRat says
    If they're not responding to this plurk, it won't work shaf
  • LBinVA says
    :-) Trying Wendyknits again. WEN
  • webRat says
    WendyKnits has to be in this thread for it to work @LB
  • LBinVA says
    Nope. What am i doing wrong?
  • webRat says
    She had to have typed something here before you can shorthand. Not sure why @LB didn't work for LBinVA
  • shaf thinks
    amix must be going (g_doh)
  • webRat says
    Nah, free QA. :-)
  • shaf
    unit test failed.
  • amix
    webRat: yes, it's always nice with some testing and ideas. anyway, i have now improved the version, but can't push out now... (s_unsure)
  • shaf
    Requirements : As as I start typing @ I'd like a list of users built dynamically as I type
  • LBinVA says
    thanks!
  • clickykbd
    haha, that's a fun quirk. Someone did me and it displayed my url/account name rather than active screen name.
  • shaf
    get to it amix - stick it on your todo list
  • LBinVA says
    I'm a good guinea pig!
  • shaf
    webRat I'm a user how am I supposed to know that ? All I see is "Steve Crane"
  • clickykbd
    maybe should match against either and display currently active name?
  • webRat says
    Display names are confusing on plurk, but you can hover your mouse over his name and see what his username is.
  • amix
    shaf: like i explained in the beging the current implementation has some bugs which are now fixed and will be avail on the next update.
  • webRat
    I typed @ plurky and got a double entry and the wrong person.
  • clickykbd
    i've only plurkitized my display name when I hit the karma to do so. All my friends were doin it.
  • webRat says
    Yeah, so.. it was correct. :-)
  • webRat says
    Typing @ plurky worked correctly.
  • amix
    in the new version typing "@ steve" will resolve to "Steve Crane" and a link to his profile
  • shaf
    DOH
  • shaf
    that didn't resolve :-)
  • bunneh says
    (steve is a good test in here since his display name is different from his username :-) )
  • clickykbd
    ah ok. it already does both. Gotchya.
  • shaf
    (g_thinking)
  • Schwarz thinks
    you need some GUI support for this...
  • shaf
    oops
  • clickykbd
    no, what's the point of a shorthand with gui. i'd vote tab complete and toggle through multiple matches.
  • shaf
    thank gawd that didn't resolve
  • amix
    wait until the new version arrives. it will remove a lot of confusion :-)
  • shaf
    but the shorthand is catchy
  • shaf
    @a
  • shaf
    amix tbh I think I like the shorthand better than tab completion
  • clickykbd
    I like all of the above. Cool feature. Look forward to the tweaks.
  • shaf
    testing from the mobile interface : @am
  • shaf
    Grrrrr
  • shaf
    amix come on dude this would really benefit those of us on mobiles
  • clickykbd
    okay not bai yet. nix the tab complete request in light of mobile apps.
  • shaf
    yeh but it looks like a client side hack so it's not going to work through the mobile api.
  • shaf
    Love the way these guys push the work out to the client rather than loading up the server
  • Schwarz says
    a GUI could be extremely simple with tab complete and showing possible completions...
  • Schwarz says
    You should be able to tell what happens when you press enter
  • Schwarz says
    because when you do, you cannot change it...
  • clickykbd
    true. no thread editing.
  • shaf
    cool are we going to get thread editing too :-D
  • clickykbd
    you thought display names were confusing! ;-)
  • jason thinks
    people don't know how to read.
  • Nethead says
    ah, cool; i just found that out when i was using plurk (LOL)
  • Nethead says
    LBinVA it works well :-) been testing it out
  • shaf
    cya later amix - Thanks for blocking me :-)
  • Nethead says
    @ne - @ ne becomes ?
  • Nethead says
    there we go; so the plurk search needs a bit more info sometimes to figure your nick out
  • Telperion
    (s_LOL) it'll be cool when it's ready
  • Telperion says
    oh crap...a hundred responses just appeared :-o
  • Latif says

  • MikePoz90 says
    It saves me 1 letter.
  • MikePoz90 says
    I assume you have to keep going until it is unique and it doesn't have to guess
  • Madame Maracas
    Love this! Might it be expanded to pick up anyone on our friendslist in the future? That would be nifty too!
  • shaf is

    amix
  • kaffee
    @am, seems buggy when entering 2 shorthand names in 1 plurk, or when in *itals* mode (?)
  • kaffee
    chelseagirl (I just used it to shorthand your name)> I think the nick has to appear beforehand to use it... :-)
  • mojaam says
    neat. Hmmm, how will it handle typos @am? Or people with similar names like oyu said?
  • mojaam says
    yeh, didn't work. Well, this is for lazy people anyway (s_tongue)
  • zsafwan says
