VMP Sneak Peek: Slash Commands (Part 2)
10Sometimes, before we roll out new site features, we try them out on our guinea pi- er, VMP friends first.
Y’all went crazy with the /giphy command in part 1 of VMP Sneak Peek: Slash Commands. We’re going to continue with more commands here in part 2.

Today’s command is
/shrug.This command works a bit different than
/giphyin that it takes no arguments (since there’s nothing to search for) and it doesn’t leave the command text behind (since there isn’t as much need for the added context).¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@shawn
So we will see more of Mr Shrugs? Yay!!!
@shawn
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@carl669 /giphy /shrug
hahahahahahahaha
/giphy hahahahaha
/giphy ha
/giphy haha
/giphy hahaha
Does it work the same in that it needs to be at the beginning of it’s own line /shrug
Yep
/¯_(ツ)_/¯
I assume all slash commands will work this way
My guys arm broke
@FroodyFrog yes. Doesn’t mean shit to me when I used a slash command.
there was a comment there before.
/giphy shrug
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
/tableflip

What is happening here? Why italics?
¯\(ツ)_/¯
¯\(ツ)_/¯
Is this a family of related shruggies??
¯\(ツ)_/¯
¯\(ツ)_/¯
Or italics gone wild?
¯\(ツ)_/¯
@awk
/giphy italiacs gone wild
@narfcake that’s fucking funny (but, then again I am warped)
@mfladd I now wonder if something more pertinent would have come up if I spelled italics correctly.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@narfcake hahahaha…but that was way funnier than you probably would have gotten.
@mfladd let’s find out, ready @narfcake?
/giphy italics gone wild
@awk ever seen this XKCD?
I think I fixed it in this commit. I just needed a backslash so real it transcends time and space followed by a real real backslash.
Let’s try it out:
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
/giphy celebrate
@shawn my reaction:
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I jest, I jest, great idea and I’m happy to hear not all of the slash commands will get left behind.
What a perfectly meh slash command.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@Thumperchick
/meh
We could probably find some support for
凸(¬‿¬)
@KDemo we could call that one /carl669
@Thumperchick - d’oh, of course!
(－‸ლ)

/giphy /shrug
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
/me shrugs
/giphy shrug
/giphy confused
This is the greatest thing ever.
FUKU Got Stolen Today!!! What’s this world coming to!
/giphy noooo
@MidKnight207
/giphy say what?!?
/giphy filthy animals
@Thumperchick that’s a great gif!
I KNOW… Package Marked Delivered At 4:54pm (PCT) and yet… Not here
/giphy uncontrollable crying
@MidKnight207 that’s terrible.
guh…
/giphy sigh
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
For today’s update we’re not adding a new slash command. Instead we’re introducing slash command auto-completion in the Mehdown editor.
Should help discover which commands are available as we add more commands. Also should help clarify that commands must start at the beginning of a line as @jbartus mandates.
@shawn I just saw that and was coming to ask about it. You beat me to the punch!
I mandated that? I just suggested it because I thought it was the easiest to parse on your end!
Locking this so we can continue in VMP Sneak Peek: Slash Commands (Part 3)
