(But you might need a slightly more descriptive button text. With no context, i'm not sure why, but i'd assume a button labeled [@] has something to do with email addresses.) | |

| Aug 28, 2018 at 15:52 | comment | added | cHao | @RomanSusi: One way would be to have a button to do it. Personally, i'd click a new button just to see what it does. And if all it does is prompt for a name and then insert that name with a @ before it, or insert or remove the @ before the current word, that ought to hint that @ is somewhat magical. (Even if the user never gets the hint, though, they still have a way to do mentions.) | |
