Slash Commands

Type / in any markdown file to open the slash command menu. The menu appears inline and lets you quickly insert content or run table operations without leaving the keyboard.

Using the Menu

  1. Type / on any line
  2. The menu appears immediately
  3. Keep typing to filter — the list narrows as you type
  4. Press Enter or click to run a command
  5. Press Escape (or type a non-matching character) to dismiss — the / stays in your document as-is

Slash commands are suppressed inside fenced code blocks, inline code spans, and YAML front matter.
