Looks like most slack questions deal with sending issues. I have the opposite.

In the olden days, when I was using outlook emails, I would simply add a xxx@xxx.com in the sender's list. That way, even if I click send by mistake, the mail won't be sent because there is an invalid email. I used this because I need to type a long email and don't want to send mails by mistake before it is completed and spell-checked. Is there something like this I can do for slack also?

Current solutions:

  • I can chat with myself on slack. This feature is used to keep notes, reminders etc. I can use this feature for this purpose also. Just wondering if there is a better solution.
  • Slack does allow you to delete messages. So, even if I send the message before completion, I can just delete and rewrite.

  • I don't understand your outlook trick. `xxx@xxx.com` is a valid email address, so the email would get sent. That said, this doesn't seem like a programming question, so it's off-topic here. See [ask]. – Robert Jul 02 '21 at 18:28

You can do that by updating your preferences.

Set your Enter key preference
Depending on the preference that you set, pressing the key on your desktop will either send a message or start a new line in Slack. Use the steps below to change this preference at any time.

Tip:
If you choose 'Send the message', you can use to Shift Enter start a new line.
If you choose 'Start a new line', you can use Command Enter(Mac) or Ctrl Enter(Windows/Linux) to send the message.
