Have separate input box for channels and PM's

For example, if I type Yea sure thing in #channela, but before I finish, I get a pm and decide to reply to that first, when I switch to another channel (or in this case pm), the input field is reset. When I go back to #channela what I typed is put back into the input box.

I would go so far as to change this issue’s title to “[Feature Request] Separate input field/history per-buffer”. @astorije would you support each buffer’s input field and history being completely independent? I’m used to that from e.g. Textual and (if memory serves; I haven’t used in some months) KVIrc.

For example, let’s assume that when switching channels, text is being stored in a cache, replaced with value stored for that other channels (effectively one input for everything). This will have random issues when hitting Undo as this will be managed by the browser.

Ah, OK. I’m not really familiar with this sort of issue, but it sounds like you’ve worked with similar situations before and found that separate input elements, with whatever overhead that comes with DOM-wise, is better than futzing with JS content swapping. Fair enough; I’ll go back to watching on the sidelines now. 😺
