I haven't seen that convention used. Not that it's any bad.
Personally I use /s/old/new which also had the benefit of some platforms, like slack, automatically fixing the original message.
- randallsquared 7y agoWait, what? I've used that, but I don't think I've ever seen Slack fix the original!
- thomasahle 7y agoYeah, it's not really documented, so I was quite surprised when it first happened. They talk about it here though: https://twitter.com/SlackHQ/status/505178492431269888 https://twitter.com/SlackHQ/status/505178492431269888
- lordgrenville 7y agoSlack has some surprising, hard to discover UI tricks. Another one I learned recently is you can make text into a hyperlink by copying a URL to your clipboard, highlighting the text in Slack, and pasting. https://twitter.com/ftrain/status/1240387882507997186 https://twitter.com/ftrain/status/1240387882507997186
- mercer 7y agoHa, cool trick! Reminds me of the Trello trick where if you press the 'copy' keyboard shortcut while hovering over a card, it will copy a link to that specific card.
- mercer 7y agothat's an awesome trick. Thanks!
- michaelcampbell 7y agoRequires a leading /. Discord does this too, but without that requirement.
- StavrosK 7y agoI've seen *correction used extensively among my non-technical peers, the sed syntax is more common across technical ones.
- Agentlien 7y agoMy friends and I have used this convention for IM apps since 2003. I haven't seen anyone do it for SMS, though.
- kohtatsu 7y agosed-style works in discord too without the leading / s/search/replace Bothers me that it won't trim a trailing / tho. FWIW it's usually faster just to press up (another shortcut to edit the last message) and word jump to fix. Also FWIW I've always seen the asterisk apended. “appended*”
