The text input for chat lacks a couple of standard macOS keyboard shortcuts.

  • Ctrl-Cmd-Space: system emoji / symbol picker
  • Ctrl-K: delete from cursor until end of line
  • Cmd-Backspace: delete from cursor to beginning of line

OK, I think I can add those in the chat text editor.

I strongly agree, we need theses shortcuts ^_^. Actually, maybe there is another way to fix it, it feel like Ripcord "blocks" all the native shortcuts of macOS and need to re-implement them, maybe there is a way in Qt to let them pass and do the right thing magically?

PS: I recently received a MacBook Pro ARM, and there is a new change in the shortcuts: Now in addition (not instead) of Control+CMD+Space we have a new key “Symbol picker” on the same key than “fn”. The good news is than this key is working with Ripcord 👍.

Things like CTRL-K aren't so much MacOS keyboard shortcuts, but "emacs keybindings".
