why like this, you should change it from main.ts in the openVM function

Setting maxLength from there does the exact same thing as what's already proposed anyway as it sets the element's maxlength attribute, except now it will be doing it redundantly each time you join a VM.

There's no need for it to be done that way at the moment, unless in the future the server actually announces the message limit it has been configured with.

yeah like when you connect to the vm, the server send ["vmattr", "maxmessagelength", "LENGTH_HERE"] by parsing it via GuacUtil and then adding the attribute in the chat input

This is actually how I'd prefer to solve the issue but something simple like this is probably fine for now -- the obvious drawback to a bandaid fix like this appears if the server's max chat length ISN'T set to 100
