Command Details

/list

Displays a list of all available slash commands with their descriptions.

/shrug, /tableflip, /lenny

These emoticon commands send their respective text art to the chat. You can optionally add a message after the command:

/shrug I don't know

Sends: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I don't know

/yolo

Converts your message to uppercase and adds a dice emoji. If no message is provided, sends “YOLO! 🎲”.

/yolo let's go

Sends: LET'S GO 🎲

/flip

Flips a virtual coin and returns either “Heads” or “Tails” with a coin emoji.

/roll

Rolls dice with customizable parameters. Supports several formats:

• /roll — Roll a single 6-sided die (default)

• /roll 20 — Roll a single 20-sided die

• /roll 2d6 — Roll 2 six-sided dice

• /roll 4d20 — Roll 4 twenty-sided dice

Limits:

• Number of dice: 1 to 100

• Number of sides: 2 to 1000

When rolling multiple dice, the result shows each individual roll and the total:

🎲 15, 8, 12 (total: 35)

/8ball

Ask the magic 8-ball a question and receive a random classic response. The question text is optional but makes it more fun:

/8ball Should I use Shapefile?

Possible responses include:

• Positive: “It is certain”, “Without a doubt”, “Yes definitely”, “Outlook good”

• Neutral: “Reply hazy, try again”, “Ask again later”, “Cannot predict now”

• Negative: “Don’t count on it”, “My reply is no”, “Outlook not so good”, “Very doubtful”

/dizz

Make your QGIS shake for 3 seconds.

/flick

Woohoo ! QGIS is flicking the wrist for 3 seconds !

/grid

Create a square grid with a specific size, using the current extent of the map canvas.

Example :

/grid 12

This will create a square grid of size 12, expressed in the coordinates of the current project’s projection (e.g. degrees if EPSG:4326).

When you start typing / in the chat input, QChat provides autocomplete suggestions for available commands.
