TL;DR: Type
/inside any project to open the slash command menu, insert headings, tasks, tables, embeds, AI prompts, date pickers, and more without lifting your hands from the keyboard. Type a few letters after the slash to filter the menu. Pair with keyboard shortcuts for mouse-free editing.
Every slash command follows the same four steps, from typing the trigger to inserting the result.
Overview
Slash commands put every Taskade action one keystroke away. Type / inside any task to insert headings, tables, dates, assignees, AI prompts, and add-ons without leaving the keyboard, so you keep your flow while building a project.
Use Slash Commands
- Type "/" anywhere in the Project to bring up a handy menu that lets you access Taskade's add-ons and formatting shortcuts in one place
- Continue to type, or scroll the list, to find the command you need
- For example typing /comment will bring up a comment pop-up
- Hit Enter to use the selected feature
