Keys
====
This file describes the default keys of poezio and explains how to
configure them.
By default, most keys manipulating the input (where you type your
messages and commands) behave like emacs does.
.. note:: Keys are case sensitive. Ctrl-X is not the same than Ctrl-x
Key bindings listing
--------------------
Some key bindings are available only in some tabs, others are global.
Global keys
~~~~~~~~~~~
These keys work in **any** tab.
**Ctrl-n**: Go to the next tab.
**Ctrl-p**: Go to the previous tab.
**Alt-number**: Go to the tab with that number.
**Alt-j**: Waits for you to type a two-digits number. Go to tab number xx.
**Alt-e**: Go to the tab with a higher priority (private message >
highlight > message > non-empty input).
**Alt-z**: Go to the previously selected tab.
**Alt-r**: Go to the roster tab.
**F7**: Shrink the information buffer.
**F8**: Grow the information buffer.
**Ctrl-l**: Refresh the screen.
**Alt-D**: Scroll the information buffer up.

Input keys
~~~~~~~~~~
These keys concern only the inputs.

from one input to paste it into an other one.
**Ctrl-a**: Move the cursor to the beginning of line.
**Ctrl-e**: Move the cursor to the end of line.
**Ctrl-u**: Delete the text from the start of the input until the cursor

**Ctrl-k**: Delete the text from the cursor until the end of the input
and save it to the clipboard.
**Ctrl-y**: Insert the content of the clipboard at the cursor position.
**Ctrl-Enter**: Insert a line break. Since the input is only one line,
the line break is represented by the character ``|`` in it but will be
sent as the real ``\n`` character.

Conversation tabs).
**Key Up**: Use the previous message from the message history.

current conversation, if any.
**Alt-v**: Move the separator at the bottom of the tab.

.. _key-conf:
Key configuration
-----------------
Bindings are keyboard shortcut aliases. You can use them
to define your own keys to replace the default ones.
where ``^x`` means *Control + x*
and ``M-x`` means *Alt + x*
To know exactly what the code of a key is, just run
.. code-block:: bash
python3 src/keyboard.py
And enter any key.
Turn Alt-i into a tab key (completion, etc):
.. code-block:: ini
M-i = ^I
Actions
-------
Mapping actions on keys
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
One may want to add keyboard shortcuts on actions that were not mapped already
in poezio. To this effect, you can map the keys on actions using the
:ref:`key-conf` seen in the previous section.
The actions are pseudo-keystrokes, and have to be treated the same way.
They all begin with an underscore to prevent any possible collision with things
already defined.
Actions list
~~~~~~~~~~~~
.. note:: Even if some of these actions are labelled as similar to other
keystrokes, remapping the keystrokes will not remap the actions defined here.
**_bookmark**
Bookmarks the current room.
Similar to :term:`/bookmark`.
**_bookmark_local** Bookmarks the current room, locally.
Similar to :term:`/bookmark_local`
**_close_tab**: Closes the current tab.
This is the same as :term:`/close`. The first tab (the roster) can not be closed.
**_disconnect**: Disconnects poezio from the server.
**_quit**: Exits poezio.
Similar to :term:`/quit`.
**_reconnect**: Disconnects then reconnects poezio, if possible.
This is similar to :term:`/reconnect`.
**_redraw_screen**: Redraws the screen.
This isn’t normally useful, similar to Ctrl-l.
**_reload_theme**: Reloads the theme.
Similar to :term:`/theme`.
**_remove_bookmark**: Removes the bookmark on the current room.
Similar to :term:`/remove_bookmark`.
**_room_left**: Goes to the room on the left.
Similar to the default Ctrl-p action.
**_room_right**: Goes to the room on the right.
Similar to the default Ctrl-n action.

**_server_cycle**: Cycles in the current MUC server.
Similar to :term:`/server_cycle` in a MUC. If you are not in a MUC, you will get
an error.
**_show_bookmarks**: Shows the current bookmarks.
Similar to :term:`/bookmarks`.
**_show_important_room**: Goes to the most important room.

Status actions
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
**_available**: Sets the status to *available*.
Similar to ``/status available``.
**_away**: Sets the status to *away*.

**_chat**: Sets the status to *chat*.

**_xa**: Sets the status to *xa*.
Similar to ``/status xa``.
Command execution
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
With that kind of actions, you can also execute arbitrary commands, with the
``_exc_`` keyword.
You only have to prefix your command line with ``_exc_``, and without the ``/``.
**/kick Partauche bound on Ctrl-w**:
.. code-block:: ini
^W = _exc_kick Partauche
That key binding will only work in the tabs defining the command (here, the
MUC tab), and will show an error message in the others.
Examples
~~~~~~~~
**Config with user-defined actions**
.. code-block:: ini
[bindings]
^W = _close_tab
M-x = _show_xmltab
M-i = _show_important_room
M-p = _toggle_pane
**Config with commands mapped**
.. code-block:: ini
[bindings]
M-c = _exc_configure
^Q = _exc_part RAGE QUIT
^J = _exc_join
^F = _exc_load figlet
^R = _exc_load rainbow
