What would you like?
Implement the chat composer behavior where pressing the Up Arrow key starts editing the most recent message sent by the current user.
Acceptance criteria
- [x] Pressing the Up Arrow key in the chat composer starts editing the most recent message sent by the current user.
- [x] The shortcut does not select a message sent by another user.
- [x] With an empty composer and focus on a non-text control in the chat window, including a selected sidebar channel, plain Up Arrow starts editing instead of moving the sidebar selection.
- [x] When plain Up Arrow is pressed while the empty main composer is focused, focus transfers to the newly opened inline message editor so typing, Return, and Escape edit, submit, or cancel that message.
