So slack is some nice thing around IRC chat, right? So on IRC, the convention is to answer to someone by prefixing the answer with nick: whereas it seems here on slack @nick: is used. How does that work for people that aren't on slack but on the corresponding IRC channels?
That is, will that other person see "@nick: my answer" or "nick: my answer"? The former would probably not create a mention in that person's IRC client...
Ah, it seems I've been wrong. The slack channels don't have anything in common with the IRC channels of the same name (other than they seems to be using IRC under the hoods, too).
@tsdh: There is a IRC gateway to slack. I don't know if it's enabled for this team or not.
Another thing. Is there a quicker way to reply in the android app than typing @ then selecting the nick, and then typing a colon? That requires me to switch the keyboard pane twice...
hmmm, In the windows app I type @, the first letters of nick, then TAB to complete. It adds the colon automatically
That's a bit better though I'd prefer to omit switching to the punctuation and numbers pane altogether, e.g., by just touching the message I want to reply to.
tsdh: if you just type their name without the @ it should autocomplete too, the get notified with or without @
