Quote chat message in reply on desktop
Hi,
The fastest way (I like to be as efficient as possible) is:
1. Double-click the message you want to reply to (this will select the whole message. Speed over small disadvantage - quote will include also the author name and date/time).
2. Ctrl + C (Copy)
3. Tab (force focus on your typing area)
4. Write ">" (greater then, Shift + . (dot))
5. Ctrl + V (Paste)
6. Double Enter (Enter, Enter)
7. Write your response for the quoted message
8. Enter for send
Note 1: After double-click (step 1) steps 2 -> 6 should be very fast (with practice) ~1 second.
Note 2: This can also be integrated into a keyboard macro because it is using only keyboard shortcuts (except for the step 1 - double-click).
Good luck.

I agree, here's something simplified in 3 steps for you 😉
1. Double-click the message you want to reply to
2. Ctrl + C, Tab, >(Shift + .), Ctrl + V, Enter, Enter
3. <write your response for the quoted message> + Enter (to send)- tianghlApr 12, 2021Copper ContributorIt's 2021 already, Microsoft should have already complete developing or porting this feature over to the desktop version. The mobile Android app version is so convenient when comes to reply on specific message quote 🙂

Not when replying to messages in channels though, no reply option there either.
