- Handling conflicts when 2 users have the same full name. (Possibly using
@**Name|User_id**or email to distinguish) (fixed in boxes: Useuser_ids in autocomplete for user mentions. #928) - Prioritizing mentions to users in the current narrow. (Eg: People who are subscribed to stream/narrow) (fixed in Order typeahead by narrow/recipients #730)
- Editing the 'starred' version (
#**test here**) and autocompleting it further. (Place the cursor before last 2 stars - Auto complete emoji names in message content. (fixed in Typeahead for emojis #525)
