Here is a sampling of ways I use Slapdash daily.
* Open files I know exist without touching the browser[0]
* Create new issues without touching the browser
* See what my colleagues are working on[1]
* Launch Mac Apps
* Use custom commands to speed up debugging. We have commands like "Find Customer"
* Use commands to launch recurring Zoom rooms
* Open my VSCode to a specific directory to start coding
* Use spaces to organize work I'm currently working on researching
In practice, everyone uses the computer differently, so when we get people set up on Slapdash, we do something called an "ergonomic fitting". We learn how use the computer and then we match you up with the features that you would benefit from most.

- hugodutka 6y agoHow do you use Slapdash to control VSCode? I thought that maybe I could create a command that executes a shell script, but it seems a command can only open a url in the browser, right? I can't find any docs for custom commands on your website.
- Pwntastic 6y agoVSCode registers[0] a url handler for vscode:// so you can open a directory or other things in VSCode with just a url [0] https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/command-line#_opening-vs-code-with-urls https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/command-line#_open...
- kanevski 6y agoExactly right. I have my command set up to open this URL: vscode://file/<ABSOLUTE_PATH_TO_YOUR_DIR> The "file" above is important, first time I set it up I missed it and it didn't work correctly.
