Ctrl-A and Ctrl-E work. On macos w/ Karabiner you can remap Home and End to those for the Slack app.
Ctrl+A is ‘select all’ though
On Windows and Linux generally, yeah. On MacOS, Command+A is "select all"
Oh man, I thought I was the only one! It really is maddening to not have these work as expected.
AFAIK it's because they override the input box behavior depending on the os detected. If you use web slack but override your user agent to windows/linux, you might be able to get the original behavior back.
Interesting. I'll have to give this a try. I have been using the desktop version, but if this works, it will be a good reason to switch back to the in-browser version
My problem is that copy/paste strips out the newlines.
So copy this:
line1
line2
line3
and paste into the input box becomes:
> line1line2line3
(browser slack on macos)
Does “Paste and Match Style” (cmd-shift-V) work? I use this key combo (or the alternative binding, cmd-option-shift-V) all the time in various apps to paste more “directly”.
actually, some pastes give no text. Then you try paste and match style and get the text... with no newlines. sigh.
