Click'n'Drag select across multiple messages

3 votes

You can currently select text from a single message when click'n'dragging. This is kind of bothersome when trying to copy several messages to a text editor or to another messaging app. It would be nice for this to work like on Discord, where multiple messages can be selected (with the user who sent the message and the timestamp.

This is already tracked and "planned" (https://github.com/status-im/status-desktop/issues/2783). The problem is with QT itself. It doesn't have the same capabilities as a web app (or an electron one like Discord), so selecting multiple lines of code at once it very hard.
I'll still mark it as "Planned", since it's something we still have tracked and would like, but don't expect it any time soon.

This will be super hard to implement with the current architecture :)
