Adding a setting for something as minor as this is a bit overkill. Why not design it well and simply go with a space? That’s e.g. what IRCCloud does. |

Also – thanks for the fix! :) |

@jancborchardt based on the discussions #297 I would guess that arbitrarily choosing space would be controversial. Someone asks for ": " and another person for ", ". Add " " to this and it's already three different proposals. I think leaving the choice to the user is a good thing. The IRC clients I've used (xchat and irssi) allow for this. |

Just making a proper design decision in this case is much better, and there needs to be a default anyway – the current default of doing nothing is the worst option of them all. The comparison with chat tools of the olden days like XChat and Irssi I would not recommend either. Look at Slack or Twitter or Facebook or Github instead – all of which follow the username with a simple space. |

In any case, not sure if you noticed but Shout is now continued as Lounge at: https://github.com/thelounge/lounge/ |
