Hi. It's great that there is such a feature as renaming a chat without changing the channel. As a gigachatters I have a lot of chats open that are renamed with initials. The problem is that the buttons where the initials are specified are too wide, because of which there is a lot of empty space between the chats. I want to shrink this space to make it easier to switch between chats :)

I would also like to see the names of channels under the message input field in full screen mode to avoid confusion.

And I have long dreamed of custom commands from the context menu. As it is realized in Chatterino.

p.s. translation services used
p.s.s. Thanks ;)

Hi, do you have perhaps a screenshot for your first issue? I don't quite get what you mean.
For your second point I could perhaps add a brief channel hint when a tab is switched, good idea.
Regarding your third point, do you mean plain commands that insert some defined text? DankChat has custom commands like that, you can find it in Settings->Chat->Custom commands

The places that I would like to reduce are highlighted in red. I think they take up too much space.

Yes, I mean custom commands that are located in the Settings->Chat->Custom commands path. It would be great if they could be used not by typing in the input field, but by long tap on the message (context menu). Although, now, thinking about the practical application of this functionality I don't know how useful it will be ๐Ÿ˜ except that it would be easier to send pastes to the chat, but for this we can do with the keyboard capabilities. Perhaps you will come up with a use for it.

Hi. I would like an option that automatically adds "/me" at the beginning of every post. Is it possible to implement such an option? I would like to have a colored chat ๐Ÿ‘€
