Editor & Writing·4 min read·

Using slash commands in the editor

Type / anywhere to access blocks, formatting, AI, and media without touching your mouse.

Slash commands are the fastest way to get anything into a VeloCMS post. Type / at the start of a new line and a Notion-style menu opens with everything you can insert. Keep typing to filter.

Blocks

  • /h1, /h2, /h3 — heading levels
  • /quote — blockquote
  • /code — code block with language detection
  • /list — bulleted list
  • /numbered — ordered list
  • /divider — horizontal rule
  • /callout — info, warning, or success callout box

Media

  • /image — upload an image or paste a URL
  • /video — embed YouTube, Vimeo, or self-hosted video
  • /embed — universal iframe embed (tweets, Figma, etc.)

AI

  • /ai-continue — AI picks up where you stopped writing
  • /ai-rewrite — rewrite selected text in a different tone
  • /ai-summarize — collapse a section into a TL;DR
  • /ai-title — suggest 5 titles from your opening paragraph

Keyboard-driven writers can stay in the home row — Escape closes the menu, arrows navigate, Enter picks.
