Most of those (along with some other things) are configurable.
res/chat.dzcfg contains the defaults, and while it can be directly modified, it is preferred to make a file local.dzcfg in the root folder of the project and copy the necessary fields in.
You can reload the config with f5 (some things may not update (instead requiring a restart), but most things reload live fine).
by default, messages are interpreted as a markdown-ish thing. This default can be changed in res/chat.dzcfg `markdown = true`
/md forced *markdown*
/text forced plain text (also "/plain ..." works)
/me does something
/html <p>manually enter HTML</p>
/goto https://matrix.to/#/!foo:matrix.org/$bar // same behavior as clicking a link containing that URL
/sort // if there were federation issues and messages are shown in non-chronological order, this command will (visually, locally, temporarily) sort them.
/theme light, /theme dark // change theme
File uploading mostly works; the client can display images & gifs inline, but videos will open externally.
Right click on many things (rooms, messages, links, images, user @s, code blocks) gives more options.
