Usage
|
||
=====
|
||
|
||
This page is the main page of the documentation for poezio, explaining how to
|
||
use it and describing its interfaces.
|
||
|
||
Poezio is composed of tabs which can be of various types. Each tab type has
|
||
a distinct interface, list of commands and list of key shortcuts, in addition
|
||
to the global commands and key shortcuts.
|
||
|
||
Tabs
|
||
----
|
||
On all tabs, you get a line showing the the list of all opened tabs. Each tab
|
||
has a number, each time you open a new tab, it gets the next available number.
|
||
|
||
|
||
image:../images/tab_bar.png[title="Example of 5 opened tabs"]
|
||
|
||
The tab numbered _0_ is always the _roster_ tab, the other tabs can be of any
|
||
type.
|
||
|
||
|
||
The status of a tab is represented by its color:
|
||
|
||
* *[navy]#blue#* (tab _0_): an inactive tab of any type, nothing new to see
|
||
there.
|
||
* *[purple]#purple#* (tab _1_): a MultiUserChat tab with at least one new
|
||
unread message.
|
||
* *[green]#green#* (tab _2_): a tab of a private conversation with a new
|
||
message to read.
|
||
* *[teal]#cyan#* (tab _3_): the current tab.
|
||
* *[red]#red#* (tab _4_): a MultiUserChat tab with at least one new hightlight
|
||
message.
|
||
|
||
You can go from one tab to another in many ways:
|
||
|
||
* Ctrl+n and Ctrl+p
|
||
* <<command-win, win>> command
|
||
* <<command-next, next>> and <<command-prev, prev>> commands
|
||
* Alt+ a number
|
||
* Alt+j followed by a two-digits number
|
||
* Alt+e, this will jump to the next tab with the highest priority. Priority
|
||
applies in this order: private message > highlight message > normal message.
|
||
|
||
Roster tab
|
||
~~~~~~~~~~
|
||
This is a unique tab, always numbered _0_. It contains the list of your
|
||
contacts. You can add/remove/edit/search contacts from there, and you can open
|
||
a conversation with one of them.
|
||
|
||
Use the _arrows_ to browse the list, the _space_ key to fold or unfold a group
|
||
or a contact.
|
||
|
||
image:../images/roster.png["The roster tab", title="The roster tab"]
|
||
|
||
* _1_: The area where information messages are displayed.
|
||
* _2_: The actual list of contacts. The first level is group, the second is the
|
||
* contacts and the third is the resources of you online contacts.
|
||
* _3_: More informations about the selected contact.
|
||
|
||
MultiUserChat tab
|
||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||
|
||
This tab contains a multi-users conversation.
|
||
|
||
image:../images/muc.png["The MUC tab", title="The MUC tab"]
|
||
|
||
* _1_: The conversation window, this is where all the messages and events
|
||
related to the muc will be displayed. It can be scrolled up and down with
|
||
PageUp and PageDown.
|
||
* _2_: The participant list. Participants are listed by their role first, and
|
||
then alphabetically.
|
||
In the default theme, The nick colors mean:
|
||
- Red: moderator
|
||
- Blue: participant
|
||
- gray: visitor +
|
||
+
|
||
The status of each participant is symbolized using the _color_ of the
|
||
character on the left of its nick.
|
||
That character also shows the chatstate of each participant:
|
||
- _|_: inactive
|
||
- _X_: composing
|
||
- _A_: active
|
||
- _p_: paused
|
||
* _3_: Your information in that MUC (the name of the room, your nick, your role
|
||
and affiliation).
|
||
* _4_: The topic of the room.
|
||
|
||
You can configure the room (if you have the rights to do it) using the
|
||
_/configure_ command, open a private conversation with someone using the
|
||
_/query_ command, change or view the topic using the _/topic_ command…
|
||
|
||
Private tab
|
||
~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||
This is the tab opened with the _/query_ command, letting you talk in private
|
||
with a participant of a multi-users chat.
|
||
|
||
image:../images/private.png["The private tab", title="The private tab"]
|
||
|
||
This is just a simple one to one conversation, with a line showing the status,
|
||
name and chatstate of the participant.
|
||
|
||
Conversation tab
|
||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||
A tab opened from the roster, to talk in private with one of your contacts.
|
||
|
||
image:../images/conversation.png["The conversation tab", title="The conversation tab"]
|
||
|
||
This is also just a simple one to one conversation, with a line showing the status,
|
||
name and chatstate of the participant, as well as a line at the top showing the
|
||
status message of the contact.
|
||
|
||
Dataforms tab
|
||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||
|
||
This tab lets you view a form receive from a remote entity, edit the values and
|
||
send everything back. It is mostly used to configure MUCs with the _/configure_
|
||
command but can actually be used for almost anything.
|
||
|
||
image:../images/data_forms.png["The dataform tab", title="The dataform tab"]
|
||
|
||
Use the _up_ and _down_ keys to go from one field to the other, and edit the
|
||
value using the _space_, _left_ or _right_ keys, or by entering text.
|
||
|
||
You can then send the completed form using _Ctrl+y_ or cancel using _Ctrl+g_.
|
||
|
||
List tab
|
||
~~~~~~~~
|
||
|
||
This tab lists all public rooms on a MUC service. It is currently very limited
|
||
but will be improved in the future. There currently is no way to search a room
|
||
or even to sort them.
|
||
|
||
image:../images/list.png["The list tab", title="The list tab"]
|
||
|
||
Use the _up_ and _down_ or _PageUp_ and _PageDown_ keys to browse the list, and
|
||
use _Enter_ or _j_ to join the selected room.
|
||
|
||
Commands
|
||
--------
|
||
|
||

|
||
of arguments, separated by spaces. If an argument should contain a space,
