Cite instead of reply in 2-person rooms

[Biep]

The big 'reply' arrow that shows up when hovering over a message is great - but replying is a bit overkill in a 2-person room. It would be better if the same arrow would do a 'cite' there.

I disagree that replying is overkill in a 2-person room. It's how all other chat clients call it, and it makes it consistent. You're still replying to that specific message, not just citing it.

[Biep]

In that case, please provide a condensed format (useful) for replying in 2-person rooms. Replies take a lot of precious screen real estate.

Replies take a lot of precious screen real estate.

That will be fixed by matrix-org/matrix-react-sdk#3553

matrix-org/matrix-react-sdk#3553 is merged, so replies hopefully won't feel like 'overkill' anymore
