Instead of markdown, you can also use keyboard shortcuts like in text document edition tools. surround text with ~ - get crossed out text.M - set reminder about selected message.↑ - move to message above (when input is empty).When you already have a focus on the selected message, you can do: Shift + F6 - focus on the previous section.F6 - focus on next section (by clicking multiple times you can change focus).+: + - add emoji reaction to last message in the channel (when input is empty).Ctrl + Shift + \ - react to last message or message with focus.↑ or Ctrl + ↑ - edit last message (when input is empty).Ctrl + N - prepare and send new message (first select people or channels, then Tab or Enter and you can write your message).Alt + Shift + ↑,↓ - move to unread previous/next direct message or channel.Alt + ↑,↓ - move to previous/next direct message or channel.Ctrl + Shift + S - show list of saved elements/messages.Ctrl + Shift + M - show list of mention & reactions.Ctrl + Shift + K - show list of all direct messages (DM).Ctrl + Shift + T - show list of threads (by using arrows you can move between them).Ctrl + Shift + A - show list of unread messages.Ctrl + K or Ctrl + T - move to the selected conversation (DM or channel).open/close right panel (for example with threads)
Ctrl + Shift + ] - move to next workspace (this one is not working for me).Ctrl + Shift + [ - move to previous workspace (this one is not working for me).Ctrl + - move between workspaces by theirs numbers.Ctrl + / - shows list of all availables keyboard shortcuts.The most important shortcut, at least in the beginning, is: You can use them and forget about the mouse completely. I think Slack did a great job preparing their shortcuts. Integration with other tools - you can connect your Slack with Trello, Google Calendar or Google Drive, and even more tools.Slack connect - Slack allows you to invite someone for a Slack event this person is outside of your organization.When you prepare a message, you can send a message later for a specific user or channel.To see any important message in that list, you can choose a message by clicking the Bookmark icon in the right top corner of the message. /mute and /unmute - you can mute or unmute any channel or direct message.You don’t need to be in the right window. /msg + user name - allows you to send a direct message (DM) to any user or channel.If you want your additional content back, use /expand. /collaps and /expand - Gifs and images distract you? Using the /collaps command, you can hide all gifs, links, and so on.After the /active status icon will change to green. When you use the /away command, you will see that your status icon is no longer green. /active and /away - show or hide your presence on Slack.After setting it, you will see the z letter on your status icon If you put time directly after the command, you won’t need to set it in the modal window. /dnd + time - turn on the do not disturb mode.Very useful you don’t need to worry about missing something just let Slack know what you want to remember. A similar thing you can do on any message sent to you. /remind - by writing, for example, the command /remind me about meeting at 12:00, you can create a reminder on Slack which will remind you (or someone else) about an important meeting (or something else) on a specific day or time.I will focus on 2 things: the nice and usefull commands and shortcuts. Becasue of that it’s good to know tips and tricks which can speed up you work. Slack is the communication tool and since the remote work is more popular those days, the meaning of communication tools is even more visible and important.
