Element-web: Scroll to message when a reply is clicked

Created on 6 Aug 2018 · 3Comments · Source: vector-im/element-web

Description

It is often useful to see the context of a reply. Because of this, it would be useful to be able to jump to the message that was replied to. Most clients (Telegram, Whatsapp, Signal, etc.) allow you to do this by clicking on the reply.

You can achieve this by clicking on the timestamp of the replied to message (though it's more of a 'jump to' than 'scroll to' I think).

Is this the behaviour you're looking for? Though (I'm guessing) you'd like it to be more easily discoverable?

Yep. I don't see why you couldn't have the whole message be clickable.

Can we have the 'Scroll to bottom' button scroll down to the message that was clicked last (FILO queue), like it works in Telegram, instead of going all the way to the bottom which is inconventien if you're catching up on backlog at the time.
