NAME

smuxi-frontend-stfl —

terminal frontend for Smuxi chat client

SYNOPSIS

smuxi-frontend-stfl [-dlh] [-e engine]

DESCRIPTION

smuxi-frontend-stfl is a terminal frontend for the Smuxi chat client, powered by the STFL library. It can operate standalone or attached to a remote Smuxi engine.

The options are as follows:

-d, --debug: Turn on debugging. Debug logs are sent to $XDG_DATA_HOME/smuxi/smuxi-frontend-stfl.log , and older logs are moved to the date of usage.
-h, --help: Show the arguments Smuxi takes.
-l, --list-engines: List the available engines Smuxi can connect to.
-e engine, --engine=engine: Connect to a remote engine.

KEY BINDINGS

The keyboards are similar to that of irssi and similar clients. Note that some terminal control characters (like C-c, C-z, etc) are not intercepted. Common line editing keys that work in graphical applications will also work. In the following examples, C-x means Control-x.

Tab: complete nickname
PageUp: move up the scrollback
PageDown: move down the scrollback
C-p, C-PageUp: previous window
C-n, C-PageDown: next window
C-Left: jump to the previous word
C-Right: jump to the next word
C-w: delete word
C-c: exit frontend

SMUXI COMMANDS

Like most IRC clients, Smuxi uses commands prefixed with "/", and most use the same commands, also including its own set of commands for the client and engine. In the following examples, the "/" prefix is not included.

exit: Exit the Smuxi frontend gracefully.
window close: Closes the current window.
window number: Goes to the window with that number.
connect protocol protocol-parameters: Connects to the server with the given protocol.
connect network: Connects to the preset network.
disconnect server: Disconnects from server. If no parameter is passed, then the server associated with the current window will be disconnected.
config list: Lists the configuration options.
config get key: Get the configuration key's value.
config set key=value: Set the configuration key's value.
shutdown: Shuts down the current engine.
