Type code block messages directly, not just via "New code snippet" modal
All the popular apps for IT firms have the possibility to type code blocks (snippets) directly into the input field, with tripple back-tick delimiters and optional code language spec.Example 1, without code spec, should only be formatted as monospace and maybe try to autodetect code language.It turns out this editor for ideas HAS the tripple backtick functionality so I can not type it here, LOL... i'm gonna improvise testing theplay field should result in1 | testing the2 | play fieldExample 2, with code language spec for code highlighting, like you already do for snippets. php$x = new MyClass(); results in something like (random highlight colors here should do it like for PHP snippets)1 | $x = new MyClass();

Ring Central Classic had a list of slash commands: https://support.ringcentral.co.uk/s/article/8889?language=en_GBI think this feature would be great as it saves a lot of time from clicking and searching. For example, we can use /task to create a task without having to manually click a couple buttons to make one.

/go, /giphy, s/typo/type-o/, /collapse alt +s for add code snippetThese shortcuts for navigation and general use made an impact on quality of life. Since switching to the new App I miss them alot and it has become a habit of me sending them to the channels/direct messages often.
