fahimchy I don't see why I would want to use a mouse in order to type a code block. This seems like a regression more than a feature. Using a graphical menu gets really clunky when going back and forth in a chat. We used to be able to quickly discuss code and log messages using markdown notation. If language selection is desired, this is supported by standard markdown without a menu. However, in a chat context, no one is trying to make anything pretty. Usually one just wants monospaced fonts and some indicator that the code is part of a block separate from the discussion.

As stated in my original post though, I know this, but this is highly inconvenient compared to the old shortcut, especially when pasting bits of code tens of times a day
