[UX Improvement] - React to messages by double-clicking on the messages

[amir2mi]

Description

In busy work environments, managing multiple ongoing conversations can be challenging. When colleagues send requests simultaneously, it's important to acknowledge agreement or approval promptly. However, constantly navigating to the emoji picker to react can disrupt workflow and become tedious over time.

Feature Description

Introduce a double-click emoji reaction feature to streamline the process of acknowledging messages. This enhancement would enable users to quickly express agreement or approval by double-clicking on messages, improving efficiency and user experience. Additionally, providing an option to customize default emojis for double-click reactions in user preferences would offer flexibility and personalization.

P.S. I personally like to contribute to Rocket Chat, if I could help with it, I would be happy.

@amir2mi We already have a feature under testing called quick reactions, you can activate on user settings, but your workspace must have feature preview enabled. The quick reactions displays the most three used reactions on the message toolbar, helping the users to react quicker
