# Reply to a Message
|
|
There are three ways to reply to a message in Zulip.
|
|
|
|
## Click on a message
|
|
To reply to a message, click on it.
|
|
A message compose box will appear with the **Stream** (outlined in red
|
|
below) and **Topic** (outlined in green below) fields
|
|
autofilled to match the message you clicked on.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can type your reply in the **Compose your message here...** field.
|

|
|
|
## The chevron icon
|
|
{!message-actions.md!}
|
|
{!down-chevron.md!}
|
|
|
|
2. Select the **Reply** option from the dropdown to reply to the selected
|
|
message. A message compose box will appear with the **Stream** (outlined in red
|
|
below) and **Topic** (outlined in green below) fields autofilled to match the
|
|
message you selected.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can then type your reply in the **Compose your message here...** field.
|
|
|
|
## The `r` hotkey
|
|
On the Zulip home screen, you will notice a blue box around one of the
|
|
messages on your screen.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This box indicates which message is currently highlighted.
|
|
It is found on the home screen, in all streams, in your private
|
|
messages, in your starred messages, and in your @-mentions.
|
|
|
|
You can change which message is highlighted by scrolling or
|
|
using the arrow or `j` and `k` keys on your keyboard.
|
|
Pressing the `r` key on your keyboard will open a message compose
|
|
box to type your reply in.
|
|
This box will appear with the **Stream** (outlined in red below)
|
|
and **Topic** (outlined in green below) fields
|
|
autofilled to match the message that you highlighted.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can then type your reply in the **Compose your message here...** field.
|
|
|
|
## Discard your reply
|
|
|
|
At any time you can discard your reply by clicking the **x**
|
|
(<i class="icon-vector-remove"></i>) icon located at the top-right corner
|
|
of the messaging box or by pressing the `esc` key on your keyboard.
|
|
This message will be saved as a draft if you wish to restore it later.
