#3Just fyi for anyone who finds it MIA in the brower, you just need to refresh to get the option.

#4Thank the maker.
I'm sure it is perfectly fine if you just bold stuff sometimes, but it's so wonky with anything slightly complicated, and completely messes with my muscle memory compared with every other application I use that doesn't mess around with this stuff.

#5The ability to format markup with keyboard shortcuts seems to be gone now. Previously you could select some text, type ctrl-i, and it would add the necessary markup to make the selected text italic. Same for bold text etc.
Still, I'll take it over the WYSIWYG editor which was a nightmare for code snippets.

#6Dark mode, better performances, option to disable divisive new features: Slack might be making it harder to focus at work but the product itself improved quite a lot in 2019, kudos to the PMs.

Side comment:
I've tried to use Slack's dark mode but had to quit. I was constantly having to download images to be able to read the black-over-transparent background of matplotlib images (that's apparently the default for the axis, markings, legends, etc.)
It's not a matter of changing my code, too, because I want to see the images posted by _other_ people

I'm waiting on the better performance :)
