📰 In the beta version of Telegram #Desktop 6.0.3 (and release 6.1), a cool feature has been added to navigate through recent chats. If in Windows it is done using Alt+Tab, then in Desktop it is done using Ctrl+Tab.

☝️ Please note that immediately after launching the program, those chats that are found in the search (Ctrl+F) are included in it, and the chats that you have opened at least once fall into this panel until the program is completely shutdown (Ctrl+Q).

💡 By the way, We've updated the full list of keyboard shortcuts, and I recommend reading them.
