Channel Name Not Displayed When Server Name is Displayed

Opened this issue · 1 comments

When I view the chat history for an entire server as opposed to only a single channel, the channel name of each message is prefixed by the name of the server. This blocks the name of the channel from being visible because of the size.

I've made it possible to specify shorter aliases for server names in the config file, which solves this for me.

It currently lives here: https://github.com/StarlitGhost/Discurses/tree/short-server-names

I'll submit a PR for it soonish, but I don't know if I'm going about it in the best way so I'm hoping for feedback on that.

I had another idea for specifying them at runtime via a dialogue window, like the tab rename window, but I couldn't get that to work reliably (and it wasn't persistent).
