[Bug 335476] [NEW] no way to give /commands from chat window

[James-C]

Public bug reported:


I've logged into an IRC server using empathy and telepathy-idle.

I enter a room and chatting is fine.

I can do /me command to emote something

but I can't do any of the other standard  IRC commands like: /help or
/join or /list or /quit etc.

For example there is no way to join a room that requires a password in empathy *except* by going
/join #roomName password 
but of course because / commands are not understood it is impossible to do this.

Recommendation: either empathy or telepathy-idle (not sure which one
controls reading and passing of / commands) should forward any text
starting with / as a command to the server, not a chat message.
