Feature Request Summary: 

For our approach, having “public reply” pre-selected instead of the “internal note” would be the preferred setting. 
Zendesk is first and foremost used to communicate with customers, so we want to start typing right away without having to click and select public reply first. 
I am aware of the other discussions on the topic and that other teams have a different take on “internal note”. So please make this a preference, at least.

 

Description/Use Cases: 
Minimize the mouse clicks for all agents on a daily basis.

 

Business impact of limitation or missing feature:
Fewer clicks, less time wasted. And the constant switching to “public reply” for 20 agents has a noticeable impact.

Well, that's embarrassing. I should have double-checked the ticket settings for that. Never noticed it there.
Thanks, @scott12
