Is there a shortcut or a button to add a [mention]mention[/mention] tag in a post? I cannot find anything like that in the editor's toolbar:

Re: How do I <@mention> someone in a post
[mention]PtolemysXX[/mention] If you type the @ key and start spelling a name it will come down with a dropdown menu which you can use the arrow keys to scroll down or the mouse to click on to select a name or you can type it out, just push enter at end or whenever you have the name selected.
I don't think we have another way to do it using a button.
I hope that helps.

I'll copy here the post by [mention]luo-ning[/mention] that explains it with a gif:

All mentions should now be clickable links to the user's profile. Working for me!

Yes, in the editor it should look like
@username
. If it just looks like@username
, that's because you simply typed out the whole mention as plaintext.Clicking works, but you can also select from the options with arrow keys and press "Enter" to select one (or just press "Enter" immediately to select the first one in the list).
