Tdesktop: [Feature request] Open each chat in separate window (desktop, linux)

Created on 9 Aug 2015  ·  18Comments  ·  Source: telegramdesktop/tdesktop

Let telegram opens each chat in separate window.

  1. Very comfortable to switch from one chat to another with Alt+Tab
  2. Every chat will be able to have the different keyboard layout (one chat with english layout, another - with russian, etc). It is very useful.
  3. user will be able to know how many unread messages in every chat (if the windows' titles will have the number of unread messages)

@auchri Multiple instances is about multiple accounts.
However this one is about opening some chats in separate windows, while using one instance and one account.

I think it's a little different than multiple instances.

@auchri you closed this ticked without any comments about the feature I asked for. The multiple instances feature is not what I talked about.

Please, answer, are you going to add an ability to open every chat in the separate window with the separate keyboard layouts or not?

Yes, it is a very useful feature - may be realized it through the tabs interface?
May we need to open new request (since this is closed) with link to this one?

using tabs is not a solution, because that way does not allow to use the different keyboard layout for each tab.

I have opened another request

No, it's possible, for example: tabsrmm (miranda plugin), TabLang (firefox addon) etc...
Without tabs, or other grouping, I think this is not very useful feature.

@kirsan31 I do not understand, what is the differences between tabs and contact list like it is now?
Current layout has the contact/chat list, that list is the same thing as tabs, but vertical. Am I right?

@kirsan31 Please read the features I wrote on first message. Tabs do nothing of them.

I think it would be great if the chat list window had tabs for groups, channels, users, favourites, and bots, just like Plus Messenger.

I really like that idea too. Definitely a duplicate of #1107, though.

yeas please!

The use of old Skype separate windows option become a strong habit. Now in Telegram I often send a message to another contact by mistake. When quicktyping to multiple contacts then clear separation of chat windows is very useful. Now all chats look the same style and it is problem to quickly identify the right chat. The separate chat windows enable identify right chat by contact name start letters in taskbar
