Tags: patch

The purpose of the function `erc-message' is to provide a "target
shortcut" option to a handful of "slash" commands, mostly ones emitting
a PRIVMSG. When a user invoking such a command supplies a period or a
comma instead of a channel or a nick, whatever's stored in the relevant
slot of `erc-server-last-peers' gets substituted in the outgoing
message. IOW, issuing a

  ERC> /MSG , hi

recalls the last nick to speak over a given connection. And

  ERC> /MSG . hi

reuses the target (channel or query) from the last `erc-message'
invocation, which may have been something like

  ERC> /MSG bob hi

with no actual shortcut present. As it happens, these targets are
stashed in the default value shared across all connections, which is
almost certainly undesirable. But attempting to fix it forces us to
confront some basic usability concerns that vary based on whatever we
deem to be the feature's intended "scope":

1. Network (patch)

   The name of the variable in question, `erc-server-last-peers', may
   suggest that this feature should be scoped per IRC connection. But
   what's the point of blindly addressing the last speaker among all of
   a network's buffers without knowing exactly who you're engaging?

2. Buffer-local

   Using a "," for PM'ing the last speaker in a target buffer may lead
   to a surprise if anyone else speaks before you've submitted the
   input. As with (1), only the logs know for sure. Also, the "." form
   is only useful so long as you refrain from speaking.

For now, I propose temporarily adopting (1) by confining shared values
to server buffers. As far as attempting to renovate this feature goes
(rather than, say, tacitly retiring it), I think it's worth considering
that nick completion and abbrevs have long provided capable
alternatives.

In that vein, the last patch below claims to offer a compromise that
somewhat extends the existing pcomplete integration for the affected
slash commands so that dots and commas expand to their relevant targets
in the input area. This reduces potential targeting errors by offering
visual confirmation. IOW, if the last person to speak was Alice, typing

  ERC> /m ,[TAB]

would expand to

  ERC> /m alice _

And while this demo is built atop (1), the idea could easily be adapted
for (2) or another variant. BTW, if anyone has experience with
pcomplete, I'm pretty sure I committed an epic faceplant in trying to
apply the API. If we end up going with this, please help. But, for now,
the door remains wide open, and alternative solutions are more than
welcome.

Thanks,
J.P.

P.S. This bug isn't (yet) claimed by any particular ERC release.

Subject: [PATCH 2/3] [SQUASH] Avoid mutating default value of
 erc-server-last-peers

* lisp/erc/erc-backend.el (erc-server-last-peers): Define as nil
instead of a quoted constant.
(erc-server-connect): Initialize `erc-server-last-peers' to a new
value local to a server buffer.
(erc--message-shortcut): New function to store and recall senders and
receivers for the current connection when processing "."  and ","
shortcuts.
(erc-message): Delegate to `erc--message-shortcut' to handle
shortcuts.
(erc-server-PRIVMSG): Create a new `erc-server-last-peers' for every
message received to make for easier testing.

Subject: [PATCH 3/3] [POC/FIXME] Add erc-message shortcuts to erc-pcomplete

* lisp/erc/erc-pcomplete.el (pcomplete/erc-mode/MSG): Intercept a "."
or a "," shortcut and possibly expand it in place, almost like an
abbrev, to a target stored in `erc-server-last-peers'.  This should
probably be done elsewhere, such as during initial command-line
parsing.  Someone familiar with pcomplete please help!

Actually, thinking on this a bit has revealed that these two state items
(last received vs. last sent) may be less symmetrical than originally
believed in terms of use case and function: the "." form always expands
to a substring of something already typed, IOW "previous input", while
the "," form may well produce something novel.

So, if the dot form is more akin to everyday command-history recall,
then ERC may have an easier time providing a useful substitute by
improving upon its existing offering, namely, erc-ring. Indeed, adopting
in-house variants of the more powerful history-traversing commands seen
elsewhere in Emacs, such as `previous-complete-history-element' and (in
some sense) `previous-matching-history-element', wouldn't be the worst
call (IMO).

... and stopping there rather than further complicating the situation
for little perceived gain, convenience wise, by fiddling with imperfect
alternatives to niche features.

As for the comma form, in case the above wasn't clear, I'm in favor of
dialing things back and shelving the notion of enhanced recipient
recall. (In the future, we could conceivably retrieve candidates by
searching backward through text-properties to gather the most recent
speakers in a target buffer. These could be presented via completing
read, perhaps anchored by a transient to offer unified access to various
scopes, like buffer, network, etc.)

For the sake of completeness, I have attached the surviving changes,
minor as they are, and will be adding them or similar to ERC by week's
end unless anyone has additional insights. Thanks.

Subject: [PATCH] Avoid mutating default value of erc-server-last-peers

* lisp/erc/erc-backend.el (erc-server-last-peers): Leave default as
nil instead of a quoted constant.
(erc-server-connect): Initialize `erc-server-last-peers' to a new
value local to a server buffer.
(erc-message): Operate on server's local `erc-server-last-peers' value
instead of the global default.  Prefer replacing value instead of
mutating CDR to make for easier testing.
(erc-server-PRIVMSG): Create a new `erc-server-last-peers' instead of
mutating to make for easier testing.
