Hi, is it possible to make the reply button work as quote? Users complains that in order to make the quote visible they need to select the text and they dont like that.

Thanks

You can use the small 💬 icon instead. It quotes the entire text without needing to select it manually. Just press the `Reply` button and the following icon:

Ok, thanks. But i was looking if there is something that can make that by default, or just add a Reply With Quote Icon also?
