💖 NAME 💖

ok so bestie, this is the manual page for /flash — the Profanity XMPP client's very own flash command. it lives in the man(1) fam, section 1, and it's here to make your terminal go ✨blinky✨. yes, that's a technical term. 🎀

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

lowkey iconic behaviour tbh: when new messages come in in another window, this command makes your terminal flash. like, visual notification, no scrolling required, main character energy only. 💅

and if your terminal is being a hater and doesn't support flashing? no worries bestie, it "may attempt to beep." that's the fallback. it's giving beep. 🔔

ngl "may attempt" is doing a lot of heavy lifting there — it's not a promise, it's an attempt. the terminal decides. 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

/flash on|off

💜 ARGUMENTS 💜

  • on|off — the vibe switch fr fr. turn terminal flash on, or turn it off. that's the whole menu, no secret options, periodt. 🌈

👑 SIGN-OFF 👑

and that's the whole page, angel 💖 this one shipped with Profanity 0.18.2, dated 2026-06-08, living its best life as man(1) in the Profanity XMPP client pages. go flash responsibly, ily, bye 🦋✨
