Tdesktop: What's the approach to implementing features that doesn't exist on mobile, but are needed in desktop?

[arieljannai]

I know the general approach is to implement only things that exist on the mobile app, but how about things that doesn't fit, need or less important to be implemented in mobile, but do needed in desktop?

For example:

• Spelling checker
• Keyboard shortcuts (without a need to use a mouse)
• Multi-selections
• Multiple-users
• Organize chats by type
• etc.

Those are some examples of things that are far more needed in desktop than mobile, or that they're not even relevant in mobile.

• Spelling checker - in mobile (android it least) it's coming from the os, so no need to do nothing.
• Keyboard shortcuts (without a need to use a mouse) - not relevant to mobile, super useful for desktop
• Multi-selections - relevant to both
• Multiple-users - relevant to both, but more important on desktop, since more people share a computer
  than a phone.
• Organize chats by type - relevant to both

Note: I know there are already issues about some of them

Thanks

Don't want to upset you... For example, text formatting (#2847) - mostly needed on desktop, then on mobile. And what? On mobiles it's implemented long ago...

Well, most of them were implemented since it was opened, except keyboard shortcuts and multi-selection.
About the multi-selection - I guess it will happen eventually because it exists on mobile.
And about the keyboard shortcuts, I know there's an issue about it, but I think it's more specific than a general rule of thumb.

Anyway, I'd like to know if there's a rule for what to implement, what to suggest - mainly on things that are a common thing on desktop apps, but irrelevant for mobile (and it can be closed if there is or there isn't an answer for that)
