Trigger mentions with non-whitespace before @ #8468

Description

@janbaum

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
To trigger mentions the character before the @ has to be a white space. Is there a reason for that? User repetedly reported this as very confusing, because it "sometimes works and sometime not", or "can't mention users in between brackets", because (@user) does not work, it has to be @user <- mark white space after opening bracket.

Describe the solution you'd like
I see the problem when typing email addresses or similar user handles. Mayby allow triggering mentions with @'s right after a special character? E.g. after (, : and so on?

Common use cases would be something like

- Bring food (@user)
- Bring drinks:@user
