- Quick replies
- =============
- Quick replies are reusable pieces of text that you can use to start a comment
- on an issue or pull request. They are meant to remove the hassle of typing a
- similar response again and again.
- Examples where this can be handy:
- * asking for a rebase of a pull request
- * asking a person to add a ``Signed-off-by`` line to their commit
- All these requests might be accompanied by a description on why it's requested.
- With quick replies you can prepare the descriptions and the just use them with
- a click of a button.
- Using quick replies
- -------------------
- Any user that can comment will be able to use the quick reply. They are offered
- in a drop down menu next to the *Preview* button above comment form.

- The button is only visible if the project has some quick replies defined.
- Additionally, the button will become insensitive when you type something into
- the comment box or switch to preview. This should avoid writing over your
- carefully crafted comment by accident. If you remove the text from the field,
- the button will work again.
- Creating and modifying quick replies
- ------------------------------------
- Project admins can create them in the settings section. There are no length
- limits on the reply, but only the first 50 characters will be displayed in the
- menu for users to choose from. This limitation should encourage you to put the
- most important message at the beginning.
- The order in which you define the replies will be preserved on the chooser
- menu. This can be used to put the most frequently used ones on the top of the
- list.
