On keypress in the message box (with a debounce to not spam), send a typing message to the server with the current selected channel name.
ChatServer broadcasts the typing event to the whole channel carrying the username.
On receiving typing events the front-end can show whether people are typing, and these typing events should auto-expire on the front-end (e.g., after 10 seconds)

In DM threads say: "soandso is typing..."

In public chat rooms: if one person is typing say "soandso is typing...", if multiple could say "3 people are typing".

Frontend logic to store/expire pings could be:

onTyping() - if a user is typing a novel over there you may get a typing event every second or two and start a timeout from the final typing event for like 10 seconds out.
