Autocomplete + Suggested @'s

[MooPoint]

Would be very handy to have the '@' autocomplete/suggest users whilst typing. For example...

If in a comments section with users Mario, Luigi, and Peach... if you type @ it'd be nice to see a suggestion of Mario, Luigi, and Peach (whoever is latest). Otherwise if you start typing something else (like 'b') then it should show a list of users based on most recently referenced/5-10 users starting with the letter 'b'... so for example if you have reference 'Bowser' more than other users starting with the letter 'b', then Bowser would be the top suggestion for autocompletion.

You'd probably be interested in this userscript: https://mangadex.org/thread/28548

It's great that such a thing exists, but I'd prefer to avoid using scripts if possible.

@MooPoint this is definitely on our todo list and when we have some technical matters sorted out in the near future, we'll implement it into the forum.

@MooPoint
My published userscript is currently broken by the latest site update. I will polish up and publish a new version latter today. Fixed!
Took a while since I was busy writing and abstracting away a settings UI builder, and was already in the middle of moving to at.js library before the update.
I will be maintaining this userscript until MangaDex implements it, and probably after as well (added an option to auto-completes titles and other crap that I don't think is planned).
Implemented manga title completions!
Also added a settings menu. You can chose whether we autocomplete just users in this thread, any User who has @mentioned you in the past, or every know username.
