SHIFT + > not working anymore on desktop teams for quoting
- Sep 30, 2021
Shift + > (Add a space after the greater-than symbol) this has worked for me in the new Teams update.
or
``` (backtick button) + Add one space
1. go to the message you want to quote.
2. right-click using your mouse and select the 3 dots ...
3. select Reply
It copies the whole message however, and I haven't figured out how to only quote part of a message.
The good news is that clicking on the quoted text will now take you to the original message, which you couldn't get with the Shift+> previously.

Usr00 Indeed !
(I noticed [Shift+">"] disappeared too and I noticed the "Reply" feature with same limitation)
However, to quote part of a message, here is the (long-)way to go:- Select [Ctrl+"A"] or [Triple-click] or [selection of part of message body] and copy Ctrl+"C"
the (part of) message you want to quote - Go to the message input box, Open the text formatting bar "A+pencil" icon
the formatting bar appears at the top of the input control - Select the "Double Quote" icon (quote formatting)
... from here do what you did when you were using [Shift+">"] - i.e. - Ctrl+"V" (paste) / Enter (twice) to leave the quoted body
... add your message -and/or-
... you can further edit the quoted message as well if you want
Limitation: no link to the original message as available in the "Reply" feature
- Select [Ctrl+"A"] or [Triple-click] or [selection of part of message body] and copy Ctrl+"C"

did they remove the shortcut in order to enable the feature?
My keyboard shortcut also stopped working but I see now the reply option
