+Global commands
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

+These commands work in *any* tab.

+*/join [room_name][@server][/nick] [password]*:: Join the specified room. You can specify a nickname after a slash (/). If no nickname is specified, you will use the default_nick in the configuration file. You can omit the room name: you will then join the room you're looking at (useful if you were kicked). You can also provide a room_name without specifying a server, the server of the room you're currently in will be used. You can also provide a password to join the room.
+
+- Examples:
+* /join room@server.tld
+* /join room@server.tld/John
+* /join room2
+* /join /me_again
+* /join
+* /join room@server.tld/my_nick password
+* /join / password

+*/bookmark [roomname][/nick]*:: Bookmark the specified room (you will then auto-join it on each poezio start). This commands uses the same syntax as /join. Type /help join for syntax examples.
