Messages ​

Messages are the fundamental unit of communication in SetGet Chat. Every message belongs to a channel or direct message conversation. You can format text with rich markup, share files and images, edit messages after sending, and delete messages you no longer need.

Send a message ​

  1. Open a channel or DM conversation.
  2. Click the message input field at the bottom of the chat window.
  3. Type your message.
  4. Press Enter to send.

To insert a line break without sending, press Shift+Enter.

TIP

You can also paste content directly into the message field. Pasted text preserves basic formatting, and pasted images are automatically uploaded as attachments.

Rich text formatting ​

SetGet Chat supports rich text formatting using toolbar buttons or keyboard shortcuts:

FormatToolbarKeyboard shortcutSyntaxResult

ItalicI buttonCtrl+I / Cmd+I*text*text
StrikethroughS buttonCtrl+Shift+X~~text~~text

LinkLink buttonCtrl+K / Cmd+K[text](url)clickable link
Bulleted listList button—- itembulleted item
Numbered listNumbered list button—1. itemnumbered item
BlockquoteQuote button—> textindented quote

Code blocks ​

For multi-line code, use triple backticks with an optional language identifier:

```javascript
function greet(name) {
  return `Hello, ${name}!`;
}
```

SetGet Chat renders code blocks with syntax highlighting for common languages including JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, Go, Rust, HTML, CSS, SQL, and more.

Mentions ​

Mention a workspace member by typing @ followed by their name. A suggestion dropdown appears as you type:

  • @member — notifies the mentioned person and highlights the message for them
  • @channel — notifies all members of the current channel (use sparingly)

Mentioned members receive a notification even if their channel notification preference is set to "Mentions only."

Emoji ​

Type : followed by an emoji name to insert an emoji inline. A suggestion dropdown appears as you type:

  • :thumbsup: inserts a thumbs-up emoji
  • :rocket: inserts a rocket emoji
  • :check: inserts a checkmark emoji

You can also use the emoji picker by clicking the smiley face icon in the message toolbar.

Edit a message ​

You can edit your own messages after sending:

  1. Hover over the message you want to edit.
  2. Click the three-dot menu that appears.
  3. Select Edit Message.
  4. Modify the text in the inline editor.
  5. Press Enter to save, or Escape to cancel.

Edited messages display an "(edited)" label next to the timestamp so other members know the content was modified.

WARNING

You can only edit your own messages. Workspace admins cannot edit other members' messages — they can only delete them for moderation purposes.

Edit shortcuts ​

  • Press the Up arrow key when the message input is empty to quickly edit your most recent message.
  • Press Escape to cancel an in-progress edit without saving changes.

Delete a message ​

Deleting a message removes it from the conversation for all participants.

  1. Hover over the message.
  2. Click the three-dot menu.
  3. Select Delete Message.
  4. Confirm the deletion.

Who can delete messages ​

RoleCan delete
Message authorTheir own messages
Channel ownerAny message in their channel
Workspace adminAny message in any channel
Workspace ownerAny message in any channel

WARNING

Deleted messages cannot be recovered. If a message contains important information, consider copying or pinning it before deletion.

Message timestamps ​

Every message displays a timestamp showing when it was sent. Timestamps follow these conventions:

AgeDisplay format
TodayTime only (e.g., "2:34 PM")
Yesterday"Yesterday at 2:34 PM"
This weekDay and time (e.g., "Monday at 2:34 PM")
OlderFull date and time (e.g., "Mar 15, 2026 at 2:34 PM")

Hovering over a timestamp shows the exact date and time with seconds.

Messages are grouped by date with divider lines. A "New messages" divider marks the point where unread messages begin when you return to a channel.

File and media sharing ​

Upload files ​

You can share files in any channel or DM:

  1. Click the attachment icon (paperclip) in the message toolbar.
  2. Select a file from your device.
  3. Optionally add a text message alongside the file.
  4. Press Enter to send.

Alternatively, drag and drop a file directly into the chat window.

Files that exceed the size limit are rejected with an error message. For larger files, use the workspace file storage or share a link instead.

Image previews ​

Uploaded images render as inline thumbnails in the message. Click an image to open a full-size lightbox viewer. The lightbox supports:

  • Zoom in and out
  • Navigation between multiple images in the same message
  • Download the original file

Clipboard paste ​

Paste an image directly from your clipboard (Ctrl+V / Cmd+V) into the message field. The image is automatically uploaded and attached to the message.

Message actions ​

Hovering over a message reveals a quick action toolbar:

Select Copy Link from the three-dot menu to get a direct URL to a specific message. Sharing this link with a workspace member takes them directly to that message in the channel, even if they need to scroll to find it.

Copy message text ​

Select Copy Text to copy the plain-text content of a message to your clipboard.

Message ordering ​

Messages are displayed in chronological order (oldest first) within a channel. When you scroll up to read history and new messages arrive, a "New messages" button appears at the bottom of the chat window. Click it to jump to the latest message.
