Smart picker (/ command) behavior in Nextcloud Talk Desktop Client

Hi everyone,

I’m testing the Smart picker functionality in Nextcloud Talk. In the browser client, when I type / in the message input field, I get a full menu of options (e.g., Collective pages, Files, Talk conversations, AI tools, etc.).

However, in the Nextcloud Talk Desktop Client (v2.1.2) on CachyOS, typing / in the same input field only shows a single option: Any link.

Setup details:

  • Nextcloud AIO 12.9.2

  • Nextcloud 32.0.8

  • Nextcloud Talk 22.0.11

  • Desktop OS: CachyOS

  • Nextcloud Talk Desktop Client: v2.1.2

My questions:

  1. Is this a known limitation of the desktop client, or is it possibly an OS-specific issue?
  2. Do other users see the full Smart picker menu when typing / in the Desktop Client?

Any insights would be appreciated.

In short: it’s a known limitation, as additional apps (that provide smart picker options) are not loaded.
