Display textures by writing their names or numbers

better defaults or clear overrides

Currently the way of switching contexts or opening chat is predefined.
Rely on Spring keybindings for support.

It would be greatly beneficial if we could have a standardized way of adding custom commands that would be used by other console implementations as well as the engine one.

It should be possible to register widget, gadget (synced and unsynced) commands by also providing their name, cheat and description fields.

These commands should be appear in the / and support seamless execution by Spring.SendCommands().
The implementation could be an engine one, or relying on a new, third party library (that would at least separate Chonsole from the command execution)

It seems tab completion is wrong for /give x, as it ignores the reduced number of options and simply rotates through the whole list.

In this line https://github.com/gajop/chonsole/blob/master/exts/core.lua#L55, its safe to use ipairs, and here too https://github.com/gajop/chonsole/blob/master/exts/core.lua#L90.

(With 400+ units, as in BAR, typing /give causes a small but perceptible lag, and its much improved by using ipairs in these two places).

override as least font as possible, so game's chili skin will be used

tab completion should just complete to the nearest decision point and then print out the list of possible options, instead of cycling around (make this an option used by both when menu is disabled and when it's not)

The suggestion menu direction should be configurable, and it should also provide smart autodetection:

• The default should be top->bottom
• In case there is no space using the default, it should revert to bottom->top. It's fine to ignore space requirements if the user forces it to be bottom->top

It might be the engines fault.

it seems markers aren't working properly for ZK

At the top of the suggestions box, the suggestions overlap. The 'texture' suggestion seems to be responsible.

Too reproduce, just checkout the BAR svn and mimic the screenshot (I integrated chonsole). We are using the latest chili.

• Logout support
• multiple login/channel join prevention
• joining channels while not connected

this way the label would always be fixed

Currently we can only autocomplete usernames by using the /w command.
Make it so it also autocompletes them for regular chat (create a utility function that can be invoked in say/ally/spec/marker and other contexts).
It should also be able to handle clan information, e.g. names starting with [X]
Plan ahead -> this kind of autocomplete could also be used for lobby channels so autocomplete should work on a userlist specified by the function call and not rely entirely on engine-obtained user lists.
