an "input method" for /secure decrypt?

[unhammer]

If I do /secure decrypt hunter2 then the string hunter2 is stored by the predictive keyboard and also shows up in the input history (shown on long-press). It'd be nice if there were a way to enter /secure data in private mode (e.g. the weechat terminal UI shows stars on typing the password). If it's hard to hook into the input box to override how text is shown, perhaps a specific button in the menu for sending the /secure decrypt message to the weechat buffer would make sense.

perhaps it would be nice if we could conditionally exclude the input field from contributing to user dictionary, e.g. if input starts with /, that would be easy enough—that is if it was possible, which i am not sure it is. other then than, it is also not impossible to replicate WeeChat's behavior (masking out parts of text) but it would require quite a bit of effort that is probably not worthwhile.

i suppose we could—with not too much of an effort—let the user define a few strings such as /secure decrypt or /nickserv identify which would turn off autocompletion completely. this probably should prevent the field from storing anything in any dictionary... right?

i am not sure how a special menu item would look like. do you want it to send pre-filled /secure decrypt yourpassword or show an input field? either way this sounds like something that would be in low demand...

That would be great :-) I'm not so worried about seeing them while typing, but it's worse if the keyboard app sends passwords to Someone Else's Cloud.

me neither :-) just throwing ideas out there to see what sticks.
