Slash Menu

A writing surface where typing / opens a command menu right at the caret, narrows as you type and drops in a styled block: heading, to-do, callout, code and more.

Install

Run this in any project set up for the shadcn CLI. It copies the Slash Menu source into your components folder, so the code is yours to change.

npx shadcn@latest add https://devl.dev/r/slash-menu.json

Use it

Import it and render it. Every prop has a typed default, so it works straight away, and you pass your own data when you’re ready.

import { SlashMenu } from "@/components/slash-menu";

export default function Page() {
  return <SlashMenu />;
}

An answer that reads its sources first, then softly streams in word by word, with little numbered chips you can hover to peek at each source, all in a card that holds its size the whole time.

Footnoted Answer

An answer whose footnotes really point somewhere: hover a number and its sentence lights up in the source's colour, click it and the quoted passage unfolds with the matching words marked.

Reply Toolbar

The quiet row under an AI reply where every small action gives something back: copy draws a check, regenerate opens a version switcher, a thumb asks what worked and read aloud turns into an equaliser.
