Slash-command insert menu (Notion-style /) #126

Description

@ipapakonstantinou

New community gap (re-scan). Source: community research.

What users want: type / for a contextual menu to insert blocks/snippets (date, table, callout, code, task, template).

A "/insert command inspired by Slack and Dropbox Paper" with /date, /table, modeled on "Notion's approach of only offering options for elements to be added" — https://forum.obsidian.md/t/slash-commands-and-quick-format/61738 · https://forum.obsidian.md/t/insert-command/8493

Demand: Med-High — Obsidian eventually shipped core slash commands after sustained demand; Slash Commander/SlashComplete plugins thrive; Joplin/Notesnook added similar menus.

noteser fit: High — pure editor UX, no storage impact. Bonus: makes noteser's existing power features (callouts, templates, tasks, wikilinks, embeds) discoverable for newcomers.

How: CodeMirror autocomplete on / at line start offering insert actions (date, table skeleton, callout, code fence, task, template, wikilink, embed).
