TipTap slash commands cheat sheet (full list)

Every slash command available in the VeloCMS editor — headings, lists, media embeds, AI blocks, callouts, and more — with keyboard shortcuts and usage notes in one place.

The VeloCMS editor is built on TipTap, a ProseMirror-powered rich text framework. Typing / on a new empty line opens the slash command palette — a searchable menu of every content block the editor supports. Here's the full list, organized by type.

Text and heading commands

  • /h1 — Top-level heading (reserved for post titles; use sparingly in body)
  • /h2 — Section heading (the standard for top-level sections in your article)
  • /h3 — Sub-section heading (one level deeper than h2)
  • /p — Plain paragraph (same as pressing Enter on a new line)
  • /quote — Blockquote (rendered with a left border accent in the active theme)
  • /hr — Horizontal rule / divider line

List commands

  • /list or /ul — Unordered (bulleted) list
  • /ol — Ordered (numbered) list
  • /todo — Checklist / task list with interactive checkboxes

Media and embed commands

  • /image — Upload an image from your device or paste a URL
  • /youtube — Embed a YouTube video by URL
  • /vimeo — Embed a Vimeo video by URL
  • /audio — Embed an audio player (MP3/M4A) — useful for podcasters
  • /embed — Generic oEmbed for Twitter/X, Spotify, SoundCloud, CodePen

Code and technical commands

  • /code — Inline code span
  • /codeblock — Full code block with language selector and syntax highlighting
  • /math — LaTeX math block (KaTeX renderer)

AI and special commands

  • /ai or /ai-continue — AI continues writing from your cursor position
  • /ai-improve — AI rewrites the selected text
  • /ai-summarize — AI generates a summary of the current section
  • /callout — Info, warning, or success callout box
  • /table — Insert a markdown-compatible table
  • /toc — Auto-generated table of contents from your h2 headings

You can filter the palette by typing after the slash — for example, /cod shows only code-related blocks, and /ai shows only AI blocks. The palette is fuzzy-matched, so near misses still surface the right option.
