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.
Commands
--------
Commands start with the _/_ character and can take a list of any number
of arguments, separated by spaces. If an argument should contain a space,
you can use the _"_ character to surround this argument.
The commands described in this page are shown like this:
===========================================================
/command <mandatory argument> [optional argument]
===========================================================
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
*/exit*:: Just disconnect from the server and exit poezio.
*/quit*:: Like /exit.
*/next*:: Go to the next room.
*/prev*:: Go to the previous room.

*/status <availability> [status message]*:: Set your availability and
(optionaly) your status message. The <availability> argument is one of
"available, chat, away, afk, dnd, busy, xa" and the optional [status] argument
will be your status message.'
*/bookmark [roomname][/nick]*:: Bookmark the specified room (you will then
auto-join it on each poezio start). This commands uses almost the same syntax
as /join. Type /help join for syntax examples. Note that when typing /bookmark
on its own, the room will be bookmarked with the nickname you're currently
using in this room (instead of default_nick).
*/set <option> [value]*:: Sets the value to the option in your configuration
file. You can, for example, change your default nickname by doing "/set
default_nick toto" or your resource with "/set resource blabla". You can also
set an empty value (nothing) by providing no [value] after <option>.
