Improved nick autocomplete by clicking on avatars to insert names into the text input.

We don't currently implement the autocomplete layout in the design; we need to.

Meanwhile, Alien had some thoughts months ago on improved tab completion UI/UX on mobile:

• Single click on user’s avatar in chat area inserts nick (on avatar, not on nick itself, because avatar has well defined shape and size, and nick can be random garbage including single dot. Additionally, I might want to just copy/paste his nick to elsewhere) Sounds good
  • Single click on user’s avatar in userlist inserts nick. I don't like this - I think it's more important for clicking on the avatar to take you to the userinfo pane -M
  • TAB in empty inputbox inserts nick of the person, who hilighted me previously.
  • Shift-tab opens quick list of 10 most relevant candidates for nick insertion - based on last activity. We can do better than this and the previous one by having Tab itself bring up the list, as per the proposed design
  • If at beginning of line (even in middle of multiline message), “: “ should be added to inserted nick. Sounds good

clicking on the displayname autocompletes into the text input as of today.
