Composing New Emails

Write emails with full-screen or pop-up mode, rich text formatting, drag-and-drop recipients, multi-account sending, and forgotten attachment detection.

Press c to compose a new email. Slashy gives you a rich text editor with autocomplete recipients, formatting shortcuts, file attachments, and multi-account sending.

Full-Screen vs. Pop-Up Mode

Mode	Description
Full-screen	Compose takes over the main area (default)
Pop-up	Floating window — reference inbox while writing, open multiple drafts

Toggle with Cmd+Shift+P. Set your default in Settings > Account > Compose Mode.

Recipients

Type a name or email in the To field — Slashy autocompletes from your contact history with fuzzy search. Press Tab to cycle between To, CC, and BCC.

Drag and drop recipient chips between fields (To to CC, CC to BCC, etc.). Remove chips with the X button or Backspace.

From Selector

With multiple Gmail accounts connected, the From dropdown lets you choose which account to send from. Defaults to the account you’re currently viewing.

Rich Text Editor

Format	Shortcut
Bold	Cmd+B
Italic	Cmd+I
Underline	Cmd+U
Strikethrough	Cmd+Shift+X
Highlight	Cmd+Shift+H
Bulleted list	Cmd+Shift+8
Numbered list	Cmd+Shift+7
Blockquote	Cmd+Shift+9
Insert link	Cmd+K

Attachments

1. File picker

   Cmd+Shift+U opens the file picker
2. Drag and drop

   Drag files onto the compose window
3. Paste images

   Copy an image and paste directly into the editor body

Forgotten attachment detection — if your email mentions an attachment but none is attached, Slashy warns you before sending. You can add the file or send anyway.

AI Features While Composing

• AI Autocomplete — ghost text appears as you type; press Tab to accept
• AI Draft Reply — Cmd+Enter in a reply to generate a full draft
• AI Edit — select text and invoke the AI editor to improve, shorten, or fix grammar
• AI Email Rating — Cmd+P to score your draft with specific suggestions

Sending

• Send now: Cmd+Enter (with undo send delay)
• Schedule send: Cmd+Shift+Enter to pick a future time
• Send and Snooze: Cmd+Option+H (Mac) / Ctrl+Alt+H (Win/Linux) sends the email immediately and opens the snooze picker so you can set a follow-up reminder in the same step. Archive-on-send follows your Done-on-Send setting.

Undo send — after pressing Cmd+Enter, a toast appears with an undo option. Configure the delay window (5-30 seconds) in Settings > Account > Undo Send Delay.

”Sent with Slashy” Footer

Outgoing emails include a small “Sent with Slashy” footer by default. To remove it, go to Settings > Account > Compose & Reply and turn off the Sent with Slashy toggle.
