Improve UX for /fmsg command

[Tomasito]

The friend message command, of which the syntax is /fmsg <friend_name> <msg> is without any doubt one of my most used commands. Its power is the ability to communicate with friends, be it in the same game, be it in different games, lobbies or even different game types. Although the core functionality works great, I think there's quite some space for improvement, which I think could really benefit user experience of this command. I've put together this list of three things, which I think are most important.

Add tab autocompletion support
I would love to see tab autocompletion support for the friend message command, which would return a list of friends that are online as an option, case-unsensitive. Let's imagine a scenario where you have two friends that are online: John and Thomas. If you were to send Thomas a message, that would be as simple as:

/fmsg t

→ /fmsg Thomas <msg>

This would be just like the /tell command, which does support tab autocompletion.

Add friend respond command

Spoiler: Original text

Although the autocompletion support would already make a difference as for the user's efficiency when telling his friend, Thomas, where to meet for the next SkyWars game, this could get even faster! ;-)

I would really like to see a command to respond to the latest person from who you received a message. This way, you wouldn't even need to type the first character of your friends name when sending him a message. Let's build up on our previous example with you and your two friends, John and Thomas. After you sent Thomas a message, he could respond to you with:

/fr <msg>​

The abbreviation stands for Friend Respond and this /fr command would be to /fmsg what /r is to /tell.

EDIT
It turns out that this command already exists! Thanks, @Buuuddy ! However, it's not listed under /[friend | f] help. I think it'd be nice to add it.

Add documentation to help command
The first place to learn about commands has always been the /help command, which currently only lists /tell, /lobby and /leave. I would like to see /[friend | f] help added to the general help, so that new players can learn about friend commands faster.

I had a hard time myself figuring out how to add or remove friends, sending them messages and seeing requests, because I had no idea about /friend help.


I am anxious to know your thoughts about this!

Add tab autocompletion support

I would definitely like to see this as a feature. Multiple friends of mine have very weird, long, or confusing names, causing me to take very long before I can actually send a message. :)

Add friend respond command

Surprise! This is already a feature!
Though, you first have to send a message using '/fmsg' in order to use '/fr'.

Add documentation to help command

Even though you can view all the commands when typing '/f' or '/f help', it would be way more user-friendly if these commands (or just '/f help') would be mentioned when using '/help'.

Surprise! This is already a feature!.

Woah, didn't know that, that's awesome!

This is an amazing idea! I will love to see both but I think the "Add tab autocompletion support" will be very useful for me because I have a friend with a long name so it is hard to send them an msg sometime.For "Add documentation to help command" I will love it when I have to quick response, for example when I am fighting on a game, it will be very easy to give them a quick response.

Good suggestion! This is also a good connection with the suggestion of @Buuuddy - https://www.cubecraft.net/threads/simple-suggestion.169952/
