(I work at Notion)

One of the apps you cited, JetBrains IDEs, provide extensive predictive hints and documentation in menus that automatically open after any character is typed. I think the difference between the Notion predictive menus and the JetBrain ones is an issue of performance, rather than concept.

That isn’t to say the slash menu isn’t annoying - we have a lot of work to do!

VSCode had (may still have?) a problem with code completion popups that would get in the way and not go away. But it, like IDEA and other IDEs, gives you the option to disable some or all helpers. So in vsc I turned off code completion.

Just let me turn off the / helper in Notion, even if I need to edit a config file to do it.
