Hi,
what client for matrix do you use? We are using element, but i am very unhappy that there is no possibility to set a message to unread once its been red to remember for later. Does anybody know a client how has this possibility?
Cheers Philipp
MentalEdge ( @MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz ) 6•9 months agoThis is not a limitation in element.
It is a limitation in matrix. The read indicator (the little avatar that shows how far users have read the chat) can only move forward in time, never back.
Edit: there is mark unread functionality in schildichat, but only for entire chats, you cannot flag certain messages to find them later.
pkulak ( @pkulak@beehaw.org ) 1•9 months agoTrue, but there’s nothing stopping some client from dreaming up a custom message that labels some previous message “unread”. It would only work in that client though.
ReversalHatchery ( @ReversalHatchery@beehaw.org ) 4•9 months agoOn android schildichat allows marking a room as unread. Here’s it’s store page: https://f-droid.org/packages/de.spiritcroc.riotx/
I’ve just noticed that with a long press on the room you can even open it without marking messages as read.This client is a fork of the official element client. It’s very similar, but it has additional features.
I think schildichat has a web version too that you can use in firefox, but I don’t know if that allows marking rooms as unread.
Scott ( @scott@lem.free.as ) English2•9 months agoIn Element Web, if you host your own web client, you can enable message pinning. This allows you to pin and unpin messages in a room for later reference.

See, https://github.com/vector-im/element-web/blob/develop/docs/config.md#labs-flags with particular attention to

Hi there, back again and thanks for the ideas. What is with searching? I dont have any option for searching inside chats, how do you handle that?
