They have a beautiful native macOS app as well. Also, excellent support for groups, including group URLs you can stick on a github page. Great program all around.

Not to mention GNU/Linux support. That's one of my main reasons for sticking around. Wire just can't compete, unfortunately.

I use the OSX app, too. But there was a downgrade going from the App Store version to the recent "Desktop Telegram" version.

The latter lost bindings like ctrl-a, ctrl-u.

If I could be bothered, I'd delete the "Desktop" release and go back to the App Store version.

When you say "desktop" version, do you mean the cross-platform one that offers downloads for Win/Mac/nix, or the specifically Mac version that has a whole lot less features (at this point) than the cross-platform version?

He means the former, which is called "Telegram Desktop".

The Mac-specific App Store version is a better app, but has been abandoned in favor of the (crappy) "Telegram Desktop."

Judging from recent updates it's still alive. The version in AppStore might be stale (not sure) but if you install the version from site (https://macos.telegram.org) you'll get frequent update.e

But I must admit that amount of clients is confusing.
