## Description

slack-term is a text-based user interface client that provides command line access to Slack workspaces. It allows users to manage channels, read discussion threads, and send messages directly from a terminal environment using Slack API integration.

The application utilizes a modal-based interface to toggle between message input, search, and channel navigation. Users can customize the experience by mapping specific keys to application actions via an external configuration file.

The tool includes capabilities for workspace management and content search, enabling the location of specific messages across a workspace without leaving the shell.
