Microsoft Teams Search Bar
If you use Microsoft Teams, you will know there is a search bar conveniently located at the top of the Teams screen.

But did you know that the search bar can also be used as a very useful command line? If you type a forward slash character in the search field, you will be shown a full list of all the commands that are available.

Just type in one of the commands and it will act as a shortcut. So for example typing in:
/dnd
Will set your status to “do not disturb”. Typing in:
/unread
Will show you all your unread activity.
This is the full list of the current commands which can also be found at this Microsoft help page.
