I've really been enjoying nomadnet, but I've found some rough edges here and there. I

know that Mark isn't in a position to be taking bug reports/feature requests at present,

so I've taken it upon myself to make some small enhancements to a private fork.

I'd be happy to contribute those changes upstream or to share them publicly if anyone

would like. Also, I wouldn't mind getting a little code review on them. I'm still

pretty inexperienced with this particular codebase.

I can detail what I'm doing in this thread, but if there's a better place to discuss

this, I'm happy to move that conversation elsewhere as well.

Is this a thing that anyone would actually have any interest in?

The first change I made was a small one. It turns out that the built-in RRC client

doesn't play particularly well with a standard 80 column display. The channel and user

panes can be collapsed with the Ctrl-y and Ctrl-u keyboard shortcuts, which really helps.

The trouble is that these keyboard shortcuts don't work when the field to type a message

is focused.

At first, I just wanted to enable it while the field is focused, but then I realised that

those partular shortcuts conflict with the standard text editing shortcuts. Instead,

what I did was to add alternate shortcuts (Alt-y and Alt-u) that will work in either

context. I left the original keybindings intact to avoid breaking the UX for anyone who

is already used to them the way they are.
