discord navigation

i am slowly getting thru my backlog of annoyances, and one of the old ones is discord's navigation after clicking tab

i really like it, actually. it's a nice way to quickly reply to some message (way better than clicking a small reply button). you click tab, up arrow (or in my case capslock+k, long story), then when you are at the right message you click r and select it for the reply.

the issue appears if you have something typed in for a message. now, up arrow doesn't work as a navigation tool, but as a means of navigating in the text box (even if the message is one line).

this poses a problem, because i often decide i want to make a reply after i type everything in (e.g. because chat moved a lot since). my current workaround is ctrl+a, ctrl+x, do a reply, then ctrl+v which works, but is annoying.

what would be mine solution? just don't take precedence over tab navigation, you can literally click escape to make your text editing things
