Frequently Asked Questions

Why aren’t slash (/) and @ commands working?

Slash (/) and @ commands are designed to work seamlessly without interrupting your writing flow. For this reason:

  • If your cursor is in the middle or at the end of a line, add a space before typing / or @.
  • If your cursor is at the beginning of a line, just type / or @ followed by your text to trigger the command.
