I've been using wee_slack.py for some time; if you can add an application token and prefer the weechat UI then it's an appreciable option, but the issues I've had regarding inputting code are not necessarily fixed there since weechat doesn't take multi-line input. :(

Sure it does: /edit (opens $EDITOR, in my case neovim).

TIL, that's amazing! :D

EDIT: Turns out, I spoke too soon, there is no such option according to docs or from reading the code, maybe you have another plugin doing this?

Whoops, sorry about that. I'll have to double check I was 90% that was standard in weechat or wee-slack - I've installed very few non-standard plug-ins.
