Problem Statement

Problem

When using an IME (Input Method Editor) for Korean, Japanese, Chinese, etc., typing slash commands like /clear requires:

  1. Noticing the IME is in native mode
  2. Deleting the incorrectly composed characters (e.g., /치ㅣ instead of /cl)
  3. Switching to English mode
  4. Retyping /cl + Tab

This breaks the flow constantly, especially for commands used frequently like /clear and /compact.

Proposed Solution

  1. Keyboard shortcut alternatives — e.g., Ctrl+L for /clear, Ctrl+Shift+K for /compact
  2. IME-aware command matching — detect that /치ㅣ maps to /cl on QWERTY layout and suggest the correct command
  3. 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
