Description
Description:
I had been using rocket chat for quite some time now and was exploring the keyboard shortcuts for the messages that I type. I faced a problem where if I tried to use the keyboard shortcut to navigate to the top or to the bottom of the message, it wouldn't work.
Steps to reproduce:
- Go to any room
- type a multi line message
- try pressing alt+up or alt+down
Expected behavior:
the text cursor should have navigated to the top of the message on pressing alt + up according to shortcuts list.
Actual behavior:
nothing happens

Research direction
Reproduce the issue in a room using a multiline message, then test Alt+Up and Alt+Down in Firefox on Debian. Trace the keyboard-shortcut handling for the message composer; the payload names no source file or test. Done means the cursor reaches the top or bottom as described in the shortcuts list.
