πŸ’¬ man(1) β€” the Profanity XMPP client, bestie edition ✨

okay so this is a page about man?? no waitβ€”not really. this is all about the Profanity XMPP client's /intype command. the whole vibe is "what even is this command and why should you care". spoiler: it's about knowing when someone's typing back. iconic behavior honestly πŸ’…


🌸 NAME 🌸

/intype β€” the Profanity /intype command. that's it. that's the name. short, sweet, main character energy. πŸ‘‘


✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so like, this command controls whether you get to see when a contact is typing at you. not me refreshing the window like a fool when I could just have the app tell me 😭

it shows up in two places, bestie:

  • the console
  • and the active message window

that's the whole deal. you turn it on, you get the lil "so-and-so is typing…" moment. chef's kiss. 🫢


πŸŽ€ SYNOPSIS πŸŽ€

/intype console|titlebar on|off

that's the shape of it. one of console or titlebar, then on or off. no cap, that's literally it. 🌈


πŸ’– ARGUMENTS πŸ’–

okay here's where we get specific, because the vibes are great but the details are everything fr fr:

  • titlebar on|off β€” turn the contact-typing-messages notification on or off in the titlebar. so like, up there in the window chrome. a lil whisper that someone's typing. πŸ’…
  • console on|off β€” turn the contact-typing-messages notification on or off in the console window. same deal, different location. πŸ’œ
ngl there's no "both" shortcut here. two separate switches, two separate spots. do with that information what you will 🧚
