Mentioning someone meant typing an at sign and enough of their name for the autocomplete to find them, even when the person was right there in the message you were reading. Holding shift and clicking their name now appends the mention to whatever is already in the box. From stoatchat#1271. It was written against a version of the message component that predates the context wrapper this fork uses, so the whole block collided; the only part that belongs there is the user id being handed to the username, which is what the click needs to know who to mention. The callback it registers on the draft store had no cleanup, unlike the one registered beside it, so it went on pointing at a composition that had already been unmounted after switching channels.

Adds an easy way to mention a user by pressing shift + click, on a username. Whether they're in the sidebar, a reply origin or just a general message!
Saw this in the "NOTES" and thought I'd take a crack, I tried a few different ways and found this to be the best approach with the least required changes and the least jank.
