Notes

• In the cmdlist output, hide is listed as an alias for the window_hide command. However, hide is a unique slash command that does not replicate the window_hide command.
• Update 6/2022: Many of the newly added slash commands were found in @Shenanigunner's excellent COH Technical Reference Guide, by far the most useful and complete list of slash commands that exists (other than this Wiki, of course). Thank you.
