Message reactions

简体中文 · Guide

Reactions appear in a compact row under their message, with emoji and counts. Your choices have a ● marker and an accent color. The bottom bar includes the reaction total and the keys for the selected action.

Select a delivered message, then press g e or run :react. Existing reaction rows are also selectable with the mouse; Enter opens their picker. The picker loads the emoji that Telegram permits in this chat.

In the reaction picker	Action
j/k or Down/Up	Select a reaction
PageUp/PageDown, Home/End	Move through the choices
Mouse click / wheel	Select a row / move selection
Enter or Space	Add the selected emoji, or remove it if already yours
u	Remove all your ordinary and custom emoji reactions from this message
Ctrl-R	Refresh counts, your choices and chat permissions
Esc or q	Close

A mouse click selects without sending. Enter and Space submit the change. Only one change can be pending at once. Closing a pending request leaves it running; failures still appear in the bottom bar. After an error or uncertain result, refresh before retrying. Hold/repeat events cannot repeatedly submit.

Each change re-fetches the exact message and Telegram's available reactions and limits. Existing choices keep their order. When adding beyond your personal limit, the oldest choice is replaced, matching Telegram's behavior. If your choices changed in another client, the operation asks you to refresh instead of overwriting that change. Unavailable emoji and the chat's unique-reaction limit are enforced, and Telegram remains authoritative for permissions.

Counts are cached for offline reading. Live updates apply to the conversation, search results, pins and reply previews; minimal updates preserve your choices. Visible incoming messages with reactions additionally refresh in batches, at most once every 30 seconds for an unchanged view. Only one batch can be pending; hidden or unfocused views do not schedule new requests.

This revision adds and removes ordinary emoji. Existing custom emoji counts use a text fallback, and their identities are preserved when changing other choices. It does not offer custom emoji selection, animations, reactor lists, paid reactions or Saved Messages tag editing. Star counters can be read; no payment request is sent. Saved Messages tags show a read-only explanation.

The entry action is reactions in conversation; picker keys use the reactions context. Its actions are open, clear_reactions, refresh, up, down, page_up, page_down, home, end, and cancel.
