Commands are used as shortcuts for long messages. If a message starts with the "trigger" then the message will be replaced with the Command.
#### Example
Add Command `Hello chat :)` with the trigger `/hello`. Now typing `/hello` in chat will send `Hello chat :)` instead of `/hello`.
## Advanced
- The trigger has to be matched at the **start** of the message but there is a setting to also match them at the **end**.
- Triggers don't need to start with `/`
#### Using placeholders
- `{1}`, `{2}`, `{3}` and so on can be used to insert the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, ... word after the trigger.
Example: Add Command `/timeout {1} 1` with trigger `/warn`. Now typing `/warn user123` will send `/timeout user123 1`
- Similarly `{1+}` and so on can be used to insert all words starting with the 1st, ... word.
Example: Add Command `Have a {1+} day!` with trigger `/day`. Now typing `/day very super nice` will send `Have a very super nice day!`
- You can use `{{1}` if you want to send `{1}` literally.
