How do you remove Slack formatting toolbar?

I rarely add formatting to messages, and would rather the chat box in Slack only be a chat box like in Messenger (and like it was before). Instead now it's double as large and has formatting options I'll never use. How can you turn off Slack's formatting options?

Note: Google Chrome is the only browser that supports Slack calls. Unsupported browsers and operating systems. To deliver the best possible Slack experience, we keep our list of supported browsers and operating systems short. We don’t fix bugs or issues for unsupported browsers, so we do our best to block them from accessing Slack. Then slack opened links in Chrome. Here is what i did that worked for me. I use Kubuntu and firefox is already the default browser (verified from firefox's settings) I want slack to open links in firefox; Open System Settings - Applications - Default Applications; Select Firefox as the default for Web Browser. Now slack opens links in firefox. Blackfire.io: Continuous Performance Testing.

There's an option to turn it off - Preferences > Advanced > Input Options and toggle 'Format messages with markup'.

Choose how you'd like to format messages by going to Preferences > Advanced > Input Options

We recently released a WYSIWYG editor to help you format messages in Slack. To the users who preferred the text markdown from before, we heard you. 🙇

Starting today, you can choose how you’d like to format messages by going to Preferences > Advanced > Input Options. #changelog

Slack Firefox Slow

There are several ways to disable Slack's rich text editor

If you just want to hide the 'kitchen sink' formatting toolbar, you can disable it as @maguay described below.

If you want to actually move back to the old Markdown-style formatting options, here's how you can do it:

Chrome

Slack

If you use Slack in Chrome, this extension will revert the text formatting for you.

Firefox

If you use Slack in Firefox, this extension will revert the text formatting for you.

Desktop

Disabling the new text editor in the desktop app is a bit trickier but totally doable if you're willing to wade into some code. @kfahy outlined these instructions on Github (source):

Slack Linux Client

1) Open the slack app in Developer mode

  • On Mac OS X: export SLACKDEVELOPERMENU=true && open -a /Applications/Slack.app
  • On Windows in a Powershell window (per user install): $env:SLACKDEVELOPERMENU='true'; & '$($env:LOCALAPPDATA)Slackslack.exe'
  • On Windows in a Powershell window (machine wide install): $env:SLACKDEVELOPERMENU='true'; & '$($Env:ProgramFiles)Slack Deploymentslack.exe'
  • On Ubuntu with Gnome (using Slack launcher):edit /usr/share/applications/slack.desktopreplace Exec=/usr/bin/slack %U with Exec=env SLACKDEVELOPERMENU=true /usr/bin/slack %U
  • On other OS's: ensure the SLACKDEVELOPERMENU environment variable is set to true before opening the Slack app.

2) Right-click in the app and Inspect element

3) Copy the contents of index.js

4) Paste into the Console tab

5) Repeat each time you reload slack or switch to a team for the first time

Click the Aa button in the lower right of Slack's chat box

You can't fully disable Slack's formatting options, but you can hide the Slack formatting toolbar. Click the Aa button in the lower right of Slack's chat box, and Slack will hide the toolbar. You can still use keyboard shortcuts to add formatting, or select text to see a hover toolbar with formatting options, but that'll at least save space and keep Slack looking a bit more like it used to.
