focus and return to your own username on start

[crpb]

Hi,

i have the following problems:

1. it seems i can't do an /focus $myusername (w/o the '$' of course)
2. if i have myself in focus with other means and close the application and open it again i don't land in another channel than $myself

• this works in the official mattermost app

By "this", what behavior are you referring to, exactly? (The official client doesn't have a /focus command, but it does have /msg. But /msg @<my account> didn't work for me in the web client for the server I'm using.)

Hi,
i can do ctrl-k which i think is the analogue thing to /focus?

Thanks, I didn't know about shortcut!

This is now mostly resolved by 285a1b1. That change makes it possible to use /focus to switch to your own DM channel. For now, I'm not going to change the startup behavior because Matterhorn already doesn't put you in a DM channel at startup.

Thank you. Now i just have to get it to build :P.

EDIT: nvm, got i working 👍
