Teams: Really need to step up your Keyboard and Slash(/) Shortcut Game

Teams whole reason for being is to compete with Slack....and also a lot of pre-existing  tools that came before Slack(IRC, Hangouts, etc)....and new ones just coming out(Matrix).

"/foo" is a long existing standard.

Teams is targeted at not just Organizations...but TECHNICAL Organizations!

That I have to click 3-4 things to paste in a Code Snippet is a huge waste of my time for something I have to do dozens if not hundreds of times a day!!!!!! Make this a Keyboard Shortcut. You didn't make this for my parents, for the AOL market, for someone who asks 'Where is the any key?'.

You made this for modern, fast paced, tech organizations!

All of those "fun" things at the bottom, like Giphy...you clearly went through the trouble to add them so you know they are "important"....why can't I access them via a slash command(/giphy <search term>)????

These are basic table stakes. Please take this seriously.

Sincerely,

Someone Who Is Trying To Give MS Teams A Fair Shake And Not Convince His Org To Move To Slack/Matrix.
