I know this topic is ostensibly about creating a new space using the existing / that opens the space picker, but I wanted to make sure we had the future in mind before we further cement a particular syntax. (and maybe this topic becomes more general).
It has come up a few times where @pirijan is considering a general keyboard mechanism to trigger commands (aka command palette, slash commands).
Discord uses /<command> at the beginning of a line. It doesn’t work mid-message.
I’d like to avoid > becomes sometimes I use that to denote a quote.
The current slash is in the context of card contents. A command to create a new space in this context to me would mean: 1) create a new space, 2) let me specify the name, 3) put a link to that new space into the card, and 4) maybe navigate me to the new space.
In the past we also discussed a general way to create a new space that is not related directly to the current card or space.
