The quote reply functionality was using a comment icon (speech bubble) instead of a proper quote icon, which was confusing to users who expected to see a quote symbol for quoting functionality.
Changes Made
quote.svgcodicon toresources/icons/quoteIconexport inwebviews/components/icon.tsxwebviews/components/comment.tsxto usequoteIconinstead ofcommentIconVisual Impact
Before: Speech bubble icon (💬) for "Quote reply" - ambiguous and could be confused with adding a new comment
After: Double quotes icon (❝❞) for "Quote reply" - intuitive and matches user expectations
This change aligns the extension's UI with conventions used by other platforms like Microsoft Teams and GitHub.com, making the quote functionality more discoverable and intuitive for users.
Testing
Fixes #7185.
