Teleirc highlight identical usernames on IRC #48
Comments
Obviously this is an issue and can happen, but I think its going to come down to how aggressive someone has set their highlighting on the IRC client. There's the option of appending additional text to tg relayed messages e.g.: The rules in the irc client can then be adjusted to ignore these? I think it would come down to how well the client can implement rules. mIrc would be capable but xchat maybe not. |

Hmm you're right, it might just add confusion |
I think there was talk about adding invisible spaces to the relayed username and I think I said that some clients might still highlight it, but it might be the best way to do it. |
Workaround: set nick format to something like |
If a user wants to use the same username on both Telegram and IRC, then teleirc will cause a IRC highlight for that user each time they say something on Telegram.
Not sure there's much we can do about this. Any ideas?
