man(1)

πŸ’– man(1) β€” the Profanity era πŸ’–

okay bestie, so this is one of the manual pages that ships with the Profanity XMPP client β€” yes, that's the man(1) section, and yeah, the tool is literally named after swearing, we stan a chaotic icon 🫢. Anyway, pull up a chair, we're talking about the /mainwin command and it is exactly as unhinged-simple as it sounds. ✨


🌸 NAME 🌸

/mainwin β€” the Profanity /mainwin command.

that's it. that's the whole name. the way that this command shows up in the manual section and immediately tells you who it belongs to? no cap, iconic. πŸ’…


πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

Move the main window.

fr fr, that's the entire vibe. it moves the main window. nothing more, nothing less, and honestly? a queen who knows her lane. πŸ‘‘


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

/mainwin up
/mainwin down

two ways to run it, two directions to slide, and you just pick your fave. moving on πŸ’–


πŸŽ€ ARGUMENTS πŸŽ€

  • up β€” Move the main window up the screen. ⬆️ like, physically scoot it upward, bestie. it's giving upward mobility.
  • down β€” Move the main window down the screen. ⬇️ and this one is the reverse, obviously. gravity but consensual.

lowkey the whole page is two arguments and a dream, and I'm obsessed with how confidently minimal it is. no flags, no environment variables, no exit status drama β€” just you, your window, and the concept of vertical space. 🧚

and that's the page babes πŸ“ β€” this was man(1) from Profanity version 0.18.2, dated 2026-06-08. go move a window, you main character πŸ’œβœ¨
