direct sending of slash commands

[Punio85]

is there a possibility to send a command directly? i'm currently working on a chat client there it's logically possible to write in the chat ... but slash commands are not transmitted ... so i check whether the message starts with a / and read the command ... now i want don't go through all the commands with a switch or similar, just send them to the chat ... I found the _sendCommand function in the source code, but it can't be called

I'm looking for this as well. I want to use the new /shoutout command and was thinking that utilizing the client.raw functionality might be the best way.

Like: client.raw('PRIVMSG #natebrady23 :/shoutout someuser') ... but this doesn't seem to work.

EDIT:

Oh, well this might be why:
