Shortcut to mark all channels as read

[mattermod]

Problem to Solve

As a user, I want an easier way to clear all my unread messages to get to inbox 0

Proposed Solution

• Add the shortcut Shift � Esc again unless the user clears their cache.
• For now, we won’t surface a UI element in the LHS for this control. There is concerns about giving it too much prominence and adding more complexity to the LHS which is already complex and has A/B tests happening right now that may conflict with placement.
• Add the new shortcut to the shortcuts modal

Sample Screens

Note about the shortcuts modal

• There is a ticket to move the modal to the RHS. Depending on when this ticket is being worked on, this shortcut may be added in the new RHS view instead of the modal

Note about mobile

• Until we decide to add this feature as more than a shortcut and add it in to the sidebar UI, this feature is intentional not available on mobile
• If we decide to revisit this and add it as a core part of the sidebar UI, then we will look at mobile
