 Since exisiting nickname completion is buggy and quite inconvenient I
 suggest to take a different approach to nickname completion. When there
 are several possibilities to complete pidgin puts them in the chat window
 (works quite like the old fashioned bash completion). What I'd like to
 suggest i '''zsh-like completion''' - after hitting tab we get either a
 menu or a small list (if there are several possibilities). ''Hitting tab
 again and again switches through suggested nicknames'' (same way as in
 Xchat for example). Also a simple preferences dialog would be appreciated
 - so to have ''ability to switch nick completion for private messages and
 different protocols'' :) Hope someone will like my idea :) Is it possible
 to achieve this using a plugin?
