Slash commands in document editor #274

Open joepio opened 1 year ago

joepio commented 1 year ago

User presses /, show the slash followed by a popout with a bunch of searchable commands
These should ideally be pluggable (inspiring video about plugin system for Silverbullet)
On pressing enter, select the command

Questions:

Should we allow / commands only at the start of an element, or do we allow it inside elements? If we allow inside, we could use turn into commands, like silver bullet. However, it might make things more complex.

Some ideas for commands:

Header levels. Turns current line into header, or creates new line with header
Upload file(s). Opens native file picker.
Link to (new) resource. Searches resources.
Create table, sese #267
Create ChatBox / ChatRoom
Embed youtube / spotify link (or other pluggable embed things)
Create task

Implementation

We add a SlashCommandsStore that has a register function. Each SlashCommand has a shortname, description and Function. The function should be able to do all sorts of funky things. Maybe it needs to be passed some Context that includes the current Element of the document

@Polleps do you have some extra ideas on this?
