Multiple ways to implement this :

• Select a word, then right-click and chose a formatting option (bold, italic, code, etc)


• Select a word and like in Office apps chose formatting options in a toolbar


• Add keyboard shortcuts to add a specific markdown


• Add most used markdowns under the input and make them clickable to insert them


• Add an icon to add markdown (like the Emoji icon)

In Windows, when you make a right-click on the notification tray icon, it would be nice to add a "Change status" option to switch easily between online, away, or busy.

This was completed before:

But it looks like it only works in the full view when the left blue sidebar with channels is showing, not when the window is smaller and hides the sidebar.

It would be great to have an integration with the osTicket platform to be able to receive notifications of new tickets or ticket updates.

In addition, it would be even better to be able to send messages to the osTicket API to create new tickets.

integrate with a business whatsAPP

The docs explains that:

"IP addresses, for example 10.100.200.101, do not return results."
(https://docs.mattermost.com/help/getting-started/searching.html#hashtags)

I would like to be able to search on ip-strings from my messages.

I'm not happy with the current theme system. We can change only colors, but I would like to change a bit everything, to get something looking for instance like The Lounge:

https://thelounge.chat/

Things I would like to change:
- typography
- borders + shadow and radius
- margins and paddings

It would be quite easy if we could upload a piece of CSS based on a few class selectors. Like:


.app__content {
box-shadow: 0 0 25px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.75);
z-index: 10;
border-radius: 5px;
}


For guest accounts, right now they have to authenticate manually via credentials.

It would be useful for the guests if there could be a link that they can use to instantly authenticate into the server.

Currently guest accounts are permanent until removed by the admins.

It would be more convenient and secure if guest accounts have an automatic expiry date after a certain period of time.

Currently when we enable 2FA authentication, it is either enabled for all users or not at all, without any option to have a more granular approach.

It would be great if we can enable 2FA authentication only for specific IP ranges based on the configurations of the admins.

Looking for a Integration for video conferencing system "Lifesize"

Use case: dark theme desired on mobile, default theme for desktop.

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'. :)

As of now, we do not have a clear warning message to indicate that a desktop client has compatibility issue (old version) with the latest Mattermost Server version.

it will be a good idea to have a message (pop up) that detects the desktop client version and remind them to upgrade it to the latest version if it is at least 1.x version behind the current one.

I would like to add a string to the header and purpose every time it is changed via a plugin, but this is currently not possible as there is no hook for channel metadata in the plugin API.

The emoji picker seems to be missing all emoji added since Unicode 9. For example Unicode 10 added 🤩 Star-Struck and 🤯 Exploding Head. Unicode 11 added 🥶 Cold Face and 🦘 Kangaroo, Unicode 12 added 🥱 Yawning Face and 🦦 Otter. None of these show up in the emoji picker.

To have a single mattermost client connected to several teams is a great feature.

What i find missing is a keyboard shortcut to change team. The other shortcuts are very good and I usually can navigate through many channels and conversations with keyboard only, but when I see that have received in other team, I have to use the mouse.

Perhaps you could add tabs or something similar to the "quick channel switcher" (Ctrl-K) or have a new shortcut to switch teams (e.g. Ctrl-T).
