I don't know if there's an equivalent on other OSs, but in most browsers in Windows if you hold down Alt you can select text in an otherwise clickable link.

- mulmen 4y agoCtrl-click on a mac at least gives the option. But this is what I hate most about Slack specifically and Electron in general. It’s so obviously a web app shoved into what kinda looks like a native window. But all the behavior is webpagey, except not in my browser, which I already know how to use. Here’s a fun one: Click in the conversation history panel. Use your “select all” shortcut. Despair.
- delecti 4y agoWhy not just use the webpage? I've only ever used Slack (and Mattermost, which my work uses) in my browser, and I'm not sure what reasons there could be to install the app when it's just a less convenient container for the same content.
- mulmen 4y agoI actually want a native app. Going to the web would be another step backwards.
