Ability to edit previous message
I like the ability in Skype to right click and edit a previously posted message. While this is available via the s/foo/bar/ method, this in itself seems to have a time limit and can also only be done to the most recently posted message. It's frustrating seeing something misspelt or mis'spoken' and not being able to change it.

Typing notification seems broken
Typing notification is borked. It doesn't always show when someone is typing, especially during long messages. This problem is most noticeable when someone is typing, then I send a message. Their typing notification goes away even though they are still typing.

URLs with unicode characters are not linkified
Take this URL for instance: http://www.☃.net/
A much beloved website, but HipChat does not make this link clickable despite being a valid URI.

Ability to quote previous message
I like the ability in Skype to be able to quote a previous message somebody wrote, as part of your response. This can be done by right clicking the previous message and choosing "Quote message". Could something similar be added to HipChat? It would make it useful to refer to specific comments for your own reply.

90% of files uploaded are images. Can we have a gallery view?
Most of the files we upload are images in the form of design mocks, videos, and funny pictures. Most everyone doesn't give them a good filename. A gallery view would really help.

Use google translate to see chat messages in your language
We have a global development team with much of the corporate offices in the US speaking English and much of the developers speaking Spanish (and a few other developers speaking other languages).
While the official language of the company is english, often times there are words that they don't understand or the sentence complexity is hard to understand. It would be awesome if they could easily click to translate a chat message using google translate (or any other service).

Prevent HipChat from blocking keyboard shortcuts it isn't using
When HipChat has focus many keyboard shortcuts are blocked.
I have a keyboard shortcut setup to start a custom service that simply starts my screensaver. If HipChat has focus, the keyboard shortcut is blocked and the service does not start.
6 votesWhat is the shortcut you’re using. As far as I know, the app shouldn’t do anything with shortcuts it doesn’t use.

RSI-Friendly Keyboard Support
As a user with severe carpal tunnel issues, HipChat is fairly difficult to use. Any time I have to touch the mouse, I subject myself to more physical pain.
Here are things that would help a lot if I could do them via keyboard:
- Scroll up and down the chat history
- Scroll up and down the link and member list
- Select a link or file, and press enter to open it
- Ability to select a user in the channel list with they keyboard and message them.
- A keyboard shortcut to go to the next chat…19 votes -
Running regex with empty replace doesn't work.
Running regexes over a previously typed line to replace a character with nothing doesn't work.
For example if the line contained thanksj and I try to run s/j// the j would remain where as if I run s/sj/j it would work.
Hipchat should allow for empty replaces in it's regex implementation.
7 votesThanks for pointing it out.- I’ve noticed this before myself but had some issues fixing it before. On potential workaround is to include one letter around the one you want to replace. So if you typed “placed” and meant “place” you can s/ed/e/

Chat history between two users is disappearing.
Chat history between two users is disappearing. It remains while we're talking, but if I close HipChat the chat history is blank.
6 votesDoes your history show up correctly on the web if you go to hipchat.com/rooms or hipchat.com/people ?

Per-room notification options
There are some rooms that are very important to me, so I'd like to be notified of any messages in them.
Other rooms are not as important, so I don't want them to show Growl notifications or bounce the dock icon.669 votes -
Chat history in room disappearing temporarily
Since 0.32 version of Beta Mac Client, we're seeing an issue where the chat history in a room all of a sudden disappears. Initially when this happened it felt like an administrator had cleared all chat history. However it seems to be a glitch. Leaving the room and coming back recovers the history.
This is happening to everyone in our group.

Add the ability to directly reply to a message, and that reply should go underneath the original message, but indentedted
Have a reply button so you can directly reply to something someone said, even if it is 15 lines above the current listing of stuff. That way if you miss something, you can reply to it still. That reply should also go under the original words, but indented.

Per-room background color
We have both private chat rooms and publicly accessible guest-enabled chat rooms. It would be awesome to be able to indicate in some what that those rooms are publicly accessible.

Pressing Tab removes focus from the send message text input, however you can't tab back into it.
When the message text input has focus, and I press "Tab", the focus changes, (in rooms it focuses the people area in a 1-on-1 I don't know where it goes...) however there's no good indication of where you are and you can't shift-tab back into the message text input area.
