Switch channels by typing – Command-T opens a dialogue to take you to any channel – just start typing its name.Switch channels easily – Option + Up/Down arrows (Alt on PC) to move to next/previous channels.Slash commands – My most used is ‘/collapse’ which closes all open previews in the channel (Thanks Slack has a whole bunch of ’em.Visualize colors – If you type a color hex code (#005164) into a channel, it will display a small watch of that color (thanks David Morton!).You can then arrow around and hit Return to use the one you want. Easy emoji – You can call in a clever auto-complete emoji panel simply by typing a colon (:) and a letter or two.Easy way to review all channel messages that mention or directly mention you.
