Allow space before “++” and “--”

[FranklinYu]

This is a feature request.

In Gitter when we mention someone with @, the auto-completion would add a space after user’s name. To trigger this plugin, user need to manually remove the space before typing ++. It would be great if a space before ++/-- is allowed.

I don't have Gitter to test with, but this shouldn't be tough, probably just modifying the -- regex and the ++ regex.

Just add \s? after the first closing parenthesis in each regex. So change these two lines:

robot.hear /@?(\S+[^+\s])\+\+(\s|$)/, (msg) ->
robot.hear /@?(\S+[^-\s])--(\s|$)/, (msg) ->

To be like so:

robot.hear /@?(\S+[^+\s])\s?\+\+(\s|$)/, (msg) ->
robot.hear /@?(\S+[^-\s])\s?--(\s|$)/, (msg) ->

Can you edit your local copy karma-classic.coffee, restart, test and report back?

That regex worked for me

Can verify the regex worked as well
