I would really like to be able to quickly move to a conversation (either a channel or a private chat).
For that a keyboard shortcut to search for channel/user name would be vital!
We are currently transitioning from Skype and there i can use Alt+1 and search. It's super quick. In mattermost I have to use the mouse and even scroll to find the channel/person I want.
What about just typing "@channel/username" when a text field does not have focus? If this then had fuzzy search as mentioned above and would open the nearest match on Enter, that would work nicely.
