Slash Commands for VisualEditor
Improve editing productivity and speed by using slash commands.
Slash commands offer a significant boost in productivity, allowing editors to perform tasks quickly without having to rely heavily on the mouse. Whether it's formatting text, creating tables, or adding images, the power of slash commands lies in the ability to expedite the editing process.
By eliminating the need to search through menus or remember complex syntax, users can now focus more on the content itself, resulting in a smoother and more enjoyable editing experience.
