For one, the command can take parameters, so that would be hugely more difficult.
For another, /sam is not actually like pressing "enter+/+s+a+m+enter" in a row because you can enter slash commands in all sorts of other ways. You can copy-paste a slash command into the box. You can write "/sab" and then realize you typed it wrong, hit backspace, and type "m". You'd have to re-implement the entire line editor, via key-by-key state transitions, to make it actually behave like a slash command, and I'm not sure it'd even be possible to handle things like copy-paste.
