Desktop: Keyboard shortcut for replying to messages

Hi,

I’d really love it if it were possible to reply to the most recent messages using the CTRL+↑ / ↓ keys. In other instant messaging applications like Telegram Swift and Telegram Desktop, this shortcut selects a message to be replied to.

However, in DeltaChat Desktop, I still find myself having to use my trackpad or mouse occasionally to perform the same action.

Having this new function, along with the ability to select multiple messages and multiple media/image selections, would greatly enhance usability.

Please let me know if this should be logged on the GitHub project instead, or if there’s perhaps some workaround for keyboard-based navigation. I’m using macOS and Windows interchangeably and am somewhat familiar with espanso for both, and Karabiner Elements for the latter.
