/r Suggested Feature

I like this.. I accidentally msg'd the wrong person a rather... interesting msg.

 

Helloo!
The /r command is there to send a message to the same person you sent earlier. If you want to scroll through the players name by using the up and down arrow keys, you might as well just use /msg (player) again. It doesn't take that long to message the player in my opinion. If he/she is in your lobby/sub-server, you could just put the first 2 letters of their IGN, then press tab and their name would pop up. After that, you type your message. Also, you could just use the up arrow key to find your old message and just erase that message and replace it with a new message. I understand what you mean in your issue and it has happened to me and I am sure it happened to other players but I don't think it would be necessary to add this feature. Again, just my opinion. Have a great day/night!

 

Hi!
I have doubt in this idea because as JustBeChill has stated there is no point for this to be added to mccentral as it is easier to just type the first letters of the person's name and press tab. If your idea would be incorporated into the game there would be no point for the /r anymore as you cannot reply quickly. Although I occasionally myself /r the wrong person it is still a very useful command ingame and it should not be tampered with because you sent a message to the wrong person.
Thank you for your time

Just manually type in their username? It takes a second.

 

If you mean up arrow as in arrow keys, this isn't really possibly. That's default mapped to last sent message / command and will do that. MCC does not have its own client so it cannot change base features like that at will. And overall, if you have that many people you're messaging, just type their names

 

I second this. The plugin and coding required to implement a base-feature change is complex and may not even be possible in this scenario. To be honest, this is a small and nuanced thing and I don't feel like the time it would take to change it would be ultimately worth it. I'm not saying that you don't have a point, because /r does have the inherent flaws which you pointed out, however I couldn't see an easy way for this to be implemented.

Instead, use the command /m. It's the same as /msg, just a shortened version, and it takes a fraction more of a second to type /m <username> opposed to /r.

Let me know what you think!
