Feature Description

I think it would be great if Gitea had slash commands similar to GitHub, where for example saved replies or more complex markdown syntax like tables could be added easily. I've attached a screenshot of GitHubs implementation, but using GitHub, I have the following issues:

There's no way to navigate back, for example, if I choose "Table", I get to choose, how many columns I want (see second screenshot). From there, I can't go back to the main menu.
Pressing escape cancels the menu entirely, and there's no way to get it back. A shortcut like ctrl + space (which is the shortcut for autocomplete in VS Code) would be really helpful.

This feature request seems to be related to #17483 and #22787.

I think this one is not the same as #17483 which should be a global pop up input box like Alfred. But this one is in the edit box.

I'm sorry, I've expressed myself in a misleading way I guess... I know that this one isn't the same as the other feature requests I've listed, but I've mentioned them because I think they're in some sense related to this feature request, so when working on this, it might be a good idea to take all of them into account for a more polished result.
