Keyboard shortcuts are especially important for desktop chat app. Jumping from chat to chat should be fast to be able to talk to many people/groups simultaneously.

Instead of reinventing the wheel, I think that conventions should be used.
In my experience, Telegram has the best keyboard navigation for desktop apps. I would simply copy what they have built in terms of keyboard navigation on desktop.
