Features

• Modal - Slick borrows a text based, modal workflow from vi. Most functionality requires one keypress, or can be easily mapped to a key.
• Scriptable - Add new commands (ie, /foo) or keyboard bindings (ie, press a) and bind them to slick commands. Or, write your own functionality in Lua - for example, here's a plugin to encrypt a message to a user on keybase and send it to them via slack. Learn More
• Batteries Included - Distributed as a static binary with no dependencies. Installation is simple. Slick is updated automatically on start.
• Not built on electron - Slick is terminal based. Reduce the number of bloated chrome vms running on your system.

• Quick jump to another team / channel with p
• Multiple teams
• Tab completion for file paths
• A lua standard library
• Emoji support
• Extensive theming support - ie, here are a few examples
