✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

🦋 Tab stuff

  • maxtabs <value> — sets the maximum number of tabs you wanna display. Real talk: <value> has to be between 0 and 10. No going rogue, babe. 💅
  • tablen <value> — sets the maximum number of characters shown as the tab name. Set it to 0 and you get unlimited characters — no cap, literally. 😭
  • tabmode default|dynamic|actlist — sets the mode your tabs are shown in:
    • dynamic — a mode that displays tabs conveniently around the current tab, thus providing proper pagination. It's giving thoughtful. 🌈
    • actlist — this setting shows only active tabs. minimal, clean, iconic.
    • default — this setting always shows tabs in the 1 to max_tabs range. classic, unbothered. 🎀

💜 Show / hide

  • show|hide name — show or hide names in tabs.
  • show|hide number — show or hide numbers in tabs.
  • show|hide read — show or hide inactive tabs.

👑 Self (as in, you, the star)

  • self user|barejid|fulljid — show account user name, barejid, or fulljid as the status bar title.
  • self off — disable showing self as the status bar title. going incognito-ish, we love that for you. 🙈

💬 Chat

  • chat user|jid — show the user's name, or the fulljid.
Heads up bestie: this change needs a redraw/restart to take effect. Not me waiting for a redraw… 😭

🚪 Room

  • room title bookmark|jid|localpart|name — display the bookmark name, JID, JID localpart, or room name as the title for MUC tabs. pick your fighter. ⭐

  • down — move the status bar down the screen.
