Typing indication

Why?
When a player begins typing in the Minecraft chat, have the bot begin typing in the main chat channel.
What and How?
With 1.19's addition of previews-chat in the server properties, if enabled and agreed to by players, everything the player types is sent to the server before the player actually finishes the message.
On receiving these events, a the server may enqueue a typing indication for discord.
Are there alternatives?
For 1.16-1.18.2 I had been using a tiny plugin that listens for "typing" event on a custom channel, and also made a tiny fabric mod that sent that same "typing" event for every player keypress where the chat text entry is not empty and isn't a command. This alternative worked out alright but of course required players to actually install the fabric mod to participate.
Checks
- I have used the search at least once to check if my idea has already been suggested and perhaps already implemented.

Seems quite limited since it'll only ever show that the bot is typing instead of which specific player is typing
I agree it is quite limited, but it's also low effort and fun.
We've been using a plugin to recreate this since 1.16, and it still can tell someone having a conversation from discord that someone is paying attention/responding.
