Allow users to give nicknames to other users. Similar to how Skype, Steam, etc allows you to rename a contact.
Allow users to provide local nicknames for other users as a username is sometimes ambiguous as to who the user actually is.

Modify a user via CLI
Would be nice to have the ability to update/modify a user via the CLI. Similarly to create user, you are able to set their name, email, etc. It would be nice to be able modify those details of an existing user via the CLI or even UI. I've found some user's end up entering their names all lower case or some don't even enter their details.

view or copy source of a message
It would be really useful to reuse markdown messages.
Currently, Users can see raw message only when markdown is disabled.
And they can only copy their own messages.30 votes -
Add a /quote command
Pasting a multi-paragraph block of text for quoting is currently frustrating, as you can't just type "> " and then paste and hit return, because if "\n\n" happens to exist in the block, it'll fall out of quote mode.
Since we already have /code for code pastes (like HipChat), let's also go for /quote: you do "/quote <paste><enter>" and done.
The implementation would be virtually identical to /code, just replace the 4 spaces with "> "

Create a wizz button, like the old MSN chat
Like the old school MSN chat, it will be nice to add a wizz button or slash command or something else ... ?, meaning we need you to pay more attention to our post, that could be triggered a move on the windows for desktop app, and/or a new notification message.

Add Ability to allow webhooks in private channels
Add a control to allow webhooks to work in private channels. A per webhook control would be best, but an all or nothing would be a good start.

Loop GIFs on mouseover
The GIF preview feature is great, but a channel full of looping gifs is visually distracting.
Discord's implementation of this functionality plays the GIF once, then repeats it on mouseover. This works really well and would be a nice polish to the current implementation.

Teamspeak Plugin Integration
Teamspeak is the top voice chat app in the market.
I suggest to have a MM integration plugin.
It needs to work on Browser and MM clients too.

Team initials
Ability to change team initials / short name.
For example if your teams start with the same prefix, the initials are going to be the same for all of them.
Furthermore you may want to set it manually, or if the name is made of multiple words, use the first letter of each word as initials.
This is also related to https://mattermost.uservoice.com/forums/306457-general/suggestions/15465123-team-icon
Idea is to be able to differentiate teams easier :)
I also don't know about mobile apps, but in the web version on desktop the initials could potentially include up to 4 characters.

Unread posts in the API
I want to use the API to check if I have unread posts, but it doesn't seem the API contains such a counter. It contains a
msg_count
and amention_cout
, but not the counter I want.
There is still a possible hack:
For each channel in a team:
* Get the timestamp of the last visit
* Get the posts created after that timestamp
* Count them
Besides the fact that it's insanely complex compared to a simple yet handy counter in the API, it involves that we have to fetch the content of all the unread posts, which…23 votes -

emoji reaction keyboard shortcut
This was my most used shortcut in another messaging app that starts with an S and ends with an ack.
Also to then be able to select emoji with arrow keys and enter is crucial. Would even go a step beyond if shift enter allowed you to pick more than one emoji reaction! #Mindblown

Sub-comment
Hi,
please implement this code to all CSS templates:
.post.same--root.post--comment, .post.same--root.same--user.post--comment {
padding-left: 4em;
}so chat look like this:

We are using it some time, and chat is more clear to read.
Many thanks.

Filter out inactive users in Mattermost system console user list
Mattermost system console user list should allow to filter out inactive users, or in other words to only show active users and admins.
Right now you only have following options:
"All users"
"System Admins"
"Guests"
"Inactive"So an option "All Active users" should be added.
Also a filter to show only users which has/has not enabled MFA would be very useful

For file storage, add support for Google Cloud Storage
For users who don't want to or can't use Amazon S3 or local filesystem, adding support for Google Cloud Storage improves the "Cloud portability" of Mattermost, in addition to supporting more use cases.

100% Slack Compatible Webhooks
I would like Mattermost to be able to consume any Slack-compatible webhook. It is very frustrating that I have to build a tool to proxy webhooks from GitHub for example.
