Hi @frexeq and welcome to the Mattermost forums! I’m not aware of any option to disable this behaviour, since it’s an integral part of the application just like typing @ for mentions, f.ex., but nevertheless, I’ll try to find out if there’s an option I’m not aware of and if I find one, I’ll post it here. ---

Good news: There’s a ticket that already talks about that: [https://mattermost.atlassian.net/browse/MM-49641](https://mattermost.atlassian.net/browse/MM-49641)
