Suggestion

I would like to specify reply format in one place (account data/state?) and have all clients use it.

Currently when I start typing a name and press tabulator, I get name: with name being a pill. I would like to instead get a "name, " as I view that as more human thing to do (and as many disagree and believe ":" to be better or wish to have something entirely different from ",", I think this should be an option)

See also: matrix-org/matrix-appservice-irc#1441 which inspired me to open this.

I think that : after mentions is element-specific though, I'm pretty sure nowhere in the spec specifically requires or urges clients to use name: for mentions.

Thanks, I agree, other than my issue is more wide and affects other clients than only Element (Android), Element (iOS) and Element (Web) in case they are currently inserting it there.
