[NFBCS] {Spam?} Adding a hyperlink to text in Slack

[Charles Vanek]

Hi all, quick Slack hyperlink problem.  I’m trying to paste in a SharePoint link to a Slack message. It has a colon X colon within it.  Slack converts that to a X symbol.  I’ve attempted to correct this without luck.

So what I want to do in this and other situations that would make for a better message is hyperlink the actual text.  I’m using the Windows 10 Slack Desktop client.  According to the internet I should be able to do Control + Shift + U to get a hyperlink dialog box.  This however isn’t working.  I’m using Fusion 2022 (JAWS & ZoomText).  

I’ve tried with and without a preceding Ins+3 to ignore the next keyboard command.  I’ve also tried to eliminate Fusion 2022 by exiting and using Narrator.


Anyone have a tip for how to actually hyperlink text with a URL in Slack Desktop on Windows?
