Hey there Workflowy folks, today we’re releasing a highly requested feature that makes it easier than ever to perform common actions without taking your hands off the keyboard. Slash command is finally here for everyone🎉 !
What is the slash command?
The slash command lets you access lots of useful functions without having to remember keyboard shortcuts or use the mouse. You simply hit the ‘/’ key to bring up a menu of useful commands and away you go. If you’ve ever used something similar in another app like a programming environment, you’ll no doubt be familiar with the benefits.
For the longest time the only way to perform certain actions was take your hand off the keyboard, grab your mouse and click on the bullet menu for that item. Now, you can simply activate the slash command menu, pick your command and perform it. That means less time messing around with the menus and potentially getting distracted, you simply tell Workflowy what to do and it’s done.
How do I use it
To use it, you first move your cursor to the line where you’ll perform the command. Then simply type ‘/’ and you’ll see the command menu. Then start typing the name of the command or use the arrow keys and the [Enter] key to perform the action.
What commands can I perform?
The following commands are available in Workflowy, with more available in Labs.
Type – Change an item’s type
- Board
- Bullets
Actions – Perform an action
- Upload file
- Complete
- Add note
- Duplicate
- Share
- Mirror
- Copy internal link
- Delete
So there you have it, the slash command gives you even more speed when it comes to getting your ideas and information into Workflowy. As we add more features, they’ll also find their way onto the command menu, so be on the lookout for that.
Sound off in the comments section what you think about our latest release and what commands you’d like us to add to the slash menu next!
Until the next update,
