Mentions in editor

[Kjartan]

Hi,

I would like to have support for @mentions in your editor, maybe it's already there? 

Any other way i could get this?

Thanks

Hi Kjartan,

It is possible to implement the desired functionality with a custom tool. 

Ideally, you may want a dropdown of suggestions near the cursor when you type "@", but this will require a good amount of custom JavaScript and is not supported out-of-the-box. So I can suggest you a popup Window with an AutoComplete to find the tagged person's name. As a final step, you will insert the appropriate HTML snippet with the mention inside the Editor content.

You can use this REPL example as a reference to help you understand how it works.

Hi, thanks for the answer, wasn't really what i was hoping for as the popup window isn't very UI-friendly, and most editors these days support @mentions. Any plans to implement it?

Hi Kjartan,

I agree that the standard mentions feature is more user-friendly, but I tried to provide the best possible workaround. As @mentions is a valid feature, I opened a feature request on your behalf with Unplanned status. 

We prioritize our development based on customer demand, so I already registered your vote and you will receive notifications for any future updates.

Let me know if you need more information.
