Slack Tweaks

In Fall 2023, Slack introduced an updated client with some unpopular UI changes. The tweaks in this document can be used to revert to the old client or hide the new side bar. These will reset every time you fully close Slack but they are easy to re-apply once you get the hang of it.

(Cross Platform) Open Dev Tools [Preferred Option]

To run any of these scripts, you'll need to open the Dev Tools (or Console). You can do this by typing /slackdevtools in a Slack channel or direct message. These are the same Dev Tools you'd get in Chrome if you hit F12. Along the top are tabs for Elements, Console, Sources, Network, etc. You'll want to paste these scripts into the Console tab at the > prompt.

If Slack disables this command, then you can open Dev Tools by setting a system-wide environment variable and using a keyboard shortcut to open the console. If /slackdevtools worked for you then you can skip these next two sections.

(Mac OS) Enable Dev Mode

	// iMacro CheatSheet - Command Reference
	// http://wiki.imacros.net/Command_Reference


	// iMacros supports 3 types of variables:
	// * The macro variables !VAR0 thru !VAR9. They can be used with the SET and ADD command inside a macro.
	// * Built-in variables. They contain certain values set by iMacros.
	// * User-defined variables. They are defined in-macro using the SET command.

	// Just before switching jobs:
	// Add one of these.
	// Preferably into the same commit where you do a large merge.
	//
	// This started as a tweet with a joke of "C++ pro-tip: #define private public",
	// and then it quickly escalated into more and more evil suggestions.
	// I've tried to capture interesting suggestions here.
