[Feature Request] Add customizability for Chat Menu ID

[EvilsSouls]

Add the ability for players to change, in their config, in which menu the HUD is shown. This would be useful for mods like Advanced Chat because the HUD is currently not shown with it.

Same problem, don`t work with AdvancedChat

The mod likely completely replaces the vanilla chat screen. Sadly it isn't as simple as configuring some menu ID. I would need to add support for specifically AdvancedChat's screen, and make symbol chat use and interact the elements of it. I'm not familiar with that mod, so this is not very high prio right now. Maybe i will get to it at some point, i will see.

I know this issue has been open for a while, but I believe I'm having the same/a similar issue with No Chat Reports.

The menu is able to be pulled up and interacted with as usual, except that attempting to search for a symbol will instead type your search query in the chat instead of the search bar.

I tested this with only the three mods required to do so (Fabric API, Symbol Chat, and No Chat Reports). Adding No Chat Reports causes the behavior described above, and removing it will allow the plugin to function as intended.

What symbol chat version are you on?

[Marotheit]

I tested using the latest version (compatible with Minecraft 1.21.1) of all the mods in question.

Fabric Loader 0.16.5 for Minecraft 1.21.1

Fabric API version 0.104.0+1.21.1,
No Chat Reports version Fabric-1.21-v2.8.0,
Symbol Chat version 1.2.7.

Looks like NoChatReports overrides the focusing behaviour of the chat screen in an attempt to not make the buttons it adds get focus over the chat bar. This then means that other mod's elements in the chat screen will also not get focus, meaning the search bar won't work. I think this would be better fixed in NoChatReports.

[Marotheit]

For sure, I will submit a bug report on their repository.

Maybe solved by adding an API into Symbol Chat to spawn in a symbol chat widget that other mods can then spawn themselves? I haven't looked in the code of Symbol Chat so this could be how it works already...

[replaceitem]

In theory mods can already do that. There is no API in Symbol Chat that makes this extra easy, but a look at how Symbol Chat adds the widgets to the vanilla screens would probably be enough to do that.
