Disabling the / pop up box?
Was chatting with some friends when I accidentally hit the / key.
And, BAM, suddenly a giant 'hey this command does something' box opens, covering what i was trying to respond to and just generally annoying.
Any way to disable/remove/stop that from happening?
I tend to fat finger alot so i'll hit keys not ment to, and if things like that are going to pop up, then.. WHY. I did a cursory glance through the options, and saw nothing about it, so.. here?
Correction. now the box pops up every time I click in the chat bar to type... MAKE IT STOP!!!

I would like this to be fixed as well.
The old system of it showing up to help you with commands was alright. The 'new' system where it PERSISTS even after you've already typed the command is just ANNOYING as all get out.
I want to opt out of that bit of the interface, because it WILL get on my last nerve, especially since there was NO asking if I wanted it, and NO way of disabling it if I don't like it. Which I very much do not.

I agree, and do wish to have this fixed. It's not annoying, it makes things hard to respond to, and it's more than I want t deal with. It used to be easier to do stuff, and this will only hinder responses. please fix.

I'm ALREADY sick and tired of this new screw up.
Why would you put in an immobile, GIANT box that blocks out everything you're responding to ON A TEXT CHAT CLIENT? The formatting options should never have been removed from above the text box in the first place - not having them there is annoying in and of itself.
This forward slash popup blocks out information that I need to be able to SEE above while I'm coding or speaking with others. And now it's adding uneditable stuff to my text box, too? How on Earth does that HELP me?
So, the replacement for a perfectly accessible momentary popup when you used forward slash - is to make it HORRIBLY space consuming so that it can't even be properly used because it's so horrifically tall, and it's ALWAYS THERE whenever I click into the text box, without the ability to exit out of it, so that I can't see chat in a CHAT PROGRAM? I... this makes NO sense. Instead of using different colors, or actually obvious space transitions like lines - we decided to add tons of extra space in there? I don't get it. It just doesn't make sense on something that's supposed to be taking up little memory and space so that it can be used during gaming.
Stop 'fixing' stuff that's not broken! REVERT THIS NOW.
So, if I want to TRY and turn it off, I'm allowed to REMOVE the actually useful features like the bold, italic and strikethrough options, preview of emoticons? That's great. Those were the only real useful thing to be added to the chat box in years.
I TRIED to turn off the "Preview emojis, mentions and markdown syntax as I type," which is not even what I want to do - I WANT those things. And I STILL have a huge box blocking the most recent chat messages.I'm not a toddler. I don't need un-editable crap added into my text to make it more obvious what's what.
Either REMOVE IT, or give me a way to chose to go back to the older less painfully frustrating version where it DOESN'T keep this wall of useless junk popped up and blocking what I need to see, and I can still edit text visually on the fly. With NO added stuff that stays popped up even when I'm not typing anything pertinent to it. This just adds more pain and frustration when I'm just trying to talk to someone and more script load to the client. A completely negative gain.

Adding my voice into this. This 'feature' was so annoying so fast that it got me onto this feedback site for the first time in the vain hope that there'd be some way around it. Not being able to see the most recent messages when you're typing something with a command is frustrating to no end and the way it pops up now is jarring, unpleasant and useless.

If I had to choose between this pop up box and Clippy from Microsoft Word, I'd choose Clippy from Microsoft Word.
This pop up / menu is that annoying

I really cannot stand this new / menu. its incredinly annoying and disabling it requires me disabling other useful features. Commands giving their parsing function when you initially type the command is fine, but it doesnt need to persist. We're a chat site, not a fucking IDE.

I'm adding my own voice here. I found where to disable it on my PC but the option isn't there in ios and it's super annoying, and makes me not want to use the program at this time.
