Mark All as Read in Slack (macOS)

Press Shift + Esc to mark the messages of every conversation as read.

What it does

All channels and direct messages lose their unread state at once, and the sidebar stops showing them in bold. It helps after time away, when reading everything is not possible. Mentions of you are marked as read with the rest, so look at the Activity view first if you expect some. To clear only the conversation in front, Escape alone is enough.
