While working on a feature #19 I've faced a problem of not being able to have two+ identical nicknames due to the internal representation of WeeChat's
nicklist(i.e.struct t_gui_nick *weechat_nicklist_search_nick(...)always returns a single pointer and prefixes don't change anything).I've managed to get a user Tox ID's public key part via the API like you've mentioned previously, so I just basically put it (shortened version, using option
tox.look.short_id_size) in front of nicknames so that all the nicknames are different now. Also I had to implement the nickname completion because of that. The displaying of short ids in chat logs and presence messages may be disabled usingtox.look.show_id.clang-formatis already applied.On top of this feature I can finally finish #19 in a proper way.
