Sort joinable public channels by activity
When there are many public channels to join, many are defunct. New users cannot distinguish these from active channels in the More Channels modal. It would be nice to see the most active channels first, see some measure of how active each is, and perhaps see how many people are in each channel.

Expand image previews in Compact Message Display mode
I would like to be able to see a preview of the attached image even if I am in Compact Message Display Mode.
Currently, even if the Account Settings > Display > Default appearance of image previews is set to Expanded, the image is only displayed as an attachment icon when Account Settings > Display > Message Display is set to Compact. These two settings should work independently of each other.18 votes -
Make team switch shortcut configurable
Please, make the keyboard shortcut CTRL+ALT+number for switching teams configurable.
Since the update, which brought this feature earlier this year, I'm unable to use the Mattermost Windows app, because I'm using czech programmers keyboard, which uses CTRL+ALT+numbers to type czech characters.
Typing is automatic process and it's not really possible to avoid typing czech characters this way. It's not a solution to re-learn typing because of Mattermost or switching keyboards before typing.3 votes -
Automatic update for desktop client
The Mattermost desktop client should automatically check for updates and prompt the user to update. This feature is mandatory in today's security landscape, even for an Electron app.
Most of our users don't realize their desktop is many version out of date, with pending security fixes.
Bonus points for shipping builds via the Windows Store, macOS App Store, snapcraft, etc.

Move the (edited) indicator on the same line as the edited text
I propose that the "(edited)" indicator is moved to the same line of the text that got edited. This is also how it is done in the Android app (and in Slack). Currently, in the Linux application (within Rambox), a new line is created just to show the "(edited)" indicator. I think this is a waste of space.
I think the fix is easy. The indicator got introduced here: https://github.com/mattermost/mattermost-server/pull/4923/files#diff-aba2376d04d1b8049e404bf2685c887fR91
So this has to be changed to not make a newline but instead put the indicator right after the rendered text.

"Next unread channel" keyboard shortcut should jump to unread in next Team if no unread in current team
Currently, you can use the "Next Unread channel" shortcut in the apps (e.g. Alt + Shift + Down) to jump to the next unread channel. If there are no more unread channels in the current team, but the next team in your team list has unreads, then the shortcut should jump to that team and the first unread channel there.

Have a button which takes you to the next (oldest) unread message.
If you have a lot of channels (some of which may be off the screen), it may useful to have a 'Next Unread' button which jumps you to the earliest unread message.

Unread count location in GUI
Unread count should be displayed on the far left of each channel.
As it sits today, the count is on the far right. For channels with long names or multiple members, you can't actually see the unread count, which makes it useless. In addition, just bolding the channel name is not very easy to see/discern.

Snooze for channel notifications
I don't want to miss when my team is posting comments on our channel but I also don't want to be be notified every few seconds when things pick up. It would be nice if I could receive a notification and am then aware things being said but I could go in and select a snooze option. Then for the next 15 minutes I don't get distracted for every posting and can choose where my attention is.

Option to use the OS window borders
The new mattermost desktop app use a custom window border.
But this does not always meet user expectations, especially under KDE I can freely configure the border.In my case, I have the close button on the left side (like MacOS) and no minimize / maximize buttons.
I know from some apps (e.g. Chrome) that there is an option to use the framework of the OS.

There should a 'Buzz' for alert
There should be a 'Buzz' to alert the other user. Like, Spark, Yahoo.
Sometimes we have messaged to another user. But user is busy on another task. He/She missed the messages which is very important.
In this case, the user should have a 'Buzz' button or shortcut for alert to someone. I hope everyone knows about the importance of 'Buzz'. :)

Allow Tags to be added like Reactions
Since you already plan to add Tags, I would like to propose the ability to add tags like reactions so that people other than the original poster have the ability to tag the post!

Have less subtle new message alerts in the Notification Area
So i have the MatterMost app on Windows. I dislike clutter on my taskbar and having too many windows open, so I have it minimised to a notification area icon most of the time.
The notification area icon looks nice, it's little a white circle inside a circle, and the colour and design matches various other Windows 10 taskbar icons. Very neat and tidy.
However, I think that this aesthetic is not as important as knowing that I have a new message.
Currently when I get a new message and Mattermost is minimised to notification area, a small red dot…

Enable a setting to allow sound alerts on a channel basis
I love that I can get notified when there is a post with a sound. But we have a community channel that a huge number of people belong to where things are discussed that I'm not interested in. I was added to the channel by my boss, and think it would be rude to disconnect. But if I could just turn off the notifications for that channel then I wouldn't be so distracted looking at many many notifications that have nothing to do with me and my work. Thanks for letting us make suggestions to make Matermost even better! Our…

Allow selecting and deleting multiple messages at once
Allow Channel Admins to be able to enter "select" or "edit" mode where checkboxes appear next to the messages.
Admins would be able to select messages one by one or to select a range of messages by clicking the first one, holding Shift button and selecting the last one (like we've used from other software).After selecting multiple messages, Admins would be able to delete them at once, or perform any other action that might be implemented during the development (move, archive, flag, something else).
This feature would make it a lot easier to delete whole bunches of off-topic messages…

Add a keyboard shortcut to jump the the currently open RHS content/message thread.
Often, I will have a long running thread/message-reply chain open, and then a certain channel open for other conversations. It would be great to have a keyboard shortcut to jump to the input for the sidebar, just like there is the equivalent "Focus Input" shortcut (Shift + GUI + L) that jumps to the input for the current channel.
With that, I could easily jump between both places to add new messages without having to switch to my mouse/trackpad.

Using Mattermost as my only chat client.
I like Mattermost client, it's way better than anything else out there.
I want to manage my Facebook messages inside Mattermost client, and I want to connect to an IRC which has nothing to do with my corporation.So I want to mess my private life with work, but I would be very happy about this.
There were trials, for example, libpurple with Pidgin chat client. But Pidgin is like using windows live messenger in 2020.
I know Facebook Messenger has no public protocol for that, so I'm not requesting to implement that, but provide, for example, IRC, libpurple protocols…

Show the connection status instead of just providing an error message
When the client goes offline, which is common when laptops suspend or for corporate implementations where a VPN is required to access the server, the only feedback provided is that the server can't be reached and to get help. This is not only not an appropriate message in this case but the message stays on the screen even after the connection is re-established. Instead of showing a disconnection message I propose replacing it with a connection state indicator. Ideally when the client is offline it will obvious (like changing the color of the window) but I won't be able to…
