Have a button in the code block to copy it on clipboard

Allow emojis to be used in a channel name.

I consider it unacceptable that I can't choose to disable having my words replaced with emoji, without also having to give up on EVERY SINGLE post formatting feature. I want to be able to use post formatting, just NOT have any emoji appear without me explicitly choosing to insert them.

Currently tons of space is being wasted in the sidebar. Allow for tighter spacing of channel/user names so more of the list can be displayed at once.

We all know that the Mattermost interface shows the Channel names in the left sidebar. We have been thinking that the users in that channel should be listed in the left sidebar under that particular channel name with an Expand/Collapse icon/button. If we expand, we should know the user’s status as offline/available, etc.

I would like to see more support for Jira events for Mattermost Webhooks, other than just; Issue: Created, Updated and Deleted

Especially would like to see events for Created, Updated and Deleted comments

The system tray icon is white when I am caught up on reading. It turns amber or red when I have messages to read or direct messages. But it was white all morning. I was curious why everyone was so quiet, but didn't look. Then I went to direct message someone and saw I wasn't even logged in.

Feature suggestion: system tray icon indicate when not logged in.

There should be an option to show the nickname on each line, when using compact mode. As a long-time IRC user, I expect to have the name repeated on each line.
This is specially annoying when the "New Messages" marker shows, where it should ALWAYS show the name in the line following the marker.

Transition the repo into being written in TypeScript for higher quality code with better linting and all the benefits TypeScript adds.

Currently, all of the default emojis (people, hands, etc) on the desktop app have a light yellow skin tone. Since you are already using apple emojis, it would be awesome to integrate the ability to change the skin and hair tone of these emojis.

Hitting CMD+1 should select the first team, CMD+2 should select the next etc. (I guess this translates to ctrl on Linux / Windows).

Right now its a lot of mouse movement to switch between teams.

open channel in new window so you can view more than
one at a time.

You constantly need to check Explorer to see if file has finished downloaded or not, very bothersome. A progress bar / download indicator will be very helpful.

Hello,

MacOS recently added support for custom URL schemes which allows other apps and browsers to open permalinks to content in the native app (rather than in the browser).

The use case would be that when you get an email to a Mattermost permalink, and you click on it in Safari, it'll open in the Mattermost app rather than a new tab in Safari.

The instructions to adopt custom URL schemes can be found here:

https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/core_app/allowing_apps_and_websites_to_link_to_your_content/defining_a_custom_url_scheme_for_your_app

Thanks a lot for a great product!

Adding reactions on channel join/leave announcements is hilarious in Slack. Please add this.

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.

Hi!

At the moment, no matter which theme you have selected (dark, light), the startup / loading screen is white with blue logo.

My eyes adapt slowly to such strong shifts in brightness, and I would love it if would respect my preferences and be dark if a dark theme was selected.

I posted this as an issue on GIthub, but was asked to move it here: https://github.com/mattermost/desktop/issues/985
