Problem Statement
Problem
When using an IME (Input Method Editor) for Korean, Japanese, Chinese, etc., typing slash commands like /clear requires:
- Noticing the IME is in native mode
- Deleting the incorrectly composed characters (e.g., /치ㅣ instead of /cl)
- Switching to English mode
- Retyping /cl + Tab
This breaks the flow constantly, especially for commands used frequently like /clear and /compact.
Proposed Solution
- Keyboard shortcut alternatives — e.g., Ctrl+L for /clear, Ctrl+Shift+K for /compact
- IME-aware command matching — detect that /치ㅣ maps to /cl on QWERTY layout and suggest the correct command
- Custom command aliases — allow users to define aliases in settings (e.g., map /클리어 to /clear)

Additional Context
- OS: Windows 11, Korean IME (Microsoft IME)
- The / key itself works in both modes, but subsequent characters get composed in the active IME language
- This likely affects all CJK IME users
