mention autocompletes

[huumn]

It'd be nice in a post or comment when @ing someone to have some help getting the spelling right.

Any specific UX in mind for this?

I very quickly whipped up this. I haven't even checked the code in, it's so rough lol but is this sorta what you're looking for?

EDIT: Code checked in here #532

What I had in mind - inspired by Github again:

• immediately shows up after pressing @
• you can use arrow keys
• you can use tab to select
• does not show up if anything comes before @ like this: x@
• also shows up if you press backspace and cursor is next to @ again
• does not show up if you use arrow keys or mouse to move cursor next to @

i would also prefer if it shows up next to the cursor and the first entry is marked as selected. this makes it more clear that arrow navigation and tab completion is possible imo

Great feedback! I had most of this in mind, just hadn't gotten there yet. Thank you for formally writing it all out, I think that's very helpful

@ekzyis thoughts on which users should show up when you just type @? Options:

1. Random users
2. Users with most comments in some timeframe
3. Users with most posts in some timeframe
4. Top stackers in some timeframe
5. Most mentioned users in some timeframe
6. Other?

Most mentioned users in some timeframe
