🎀 NAME 🎀

smuxi-frontend-stfl — the terminal frontend for the Smuxi chat client. no cap, that's the whole vibe.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

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

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So smuxi-frontend-stfl is a terminal frontend for the Smuxi chat client, and she's powered by the STFL library 🦋. The way this works: she can either operate standalone, or be attached to a remote Smuxi engine. both valid, both slay.

The options are as follows:

• -d, --debug — turn on debugging, bestie 🔍. Debug logs get sent to $XDG_DATA_HOME/smuxi/smuxi-frontend-stfl.log, and older logs are moved to the date of usage. so nothing gets lost, ever. organized queen behavior.
• -h, --help — shows the arguments Smuxi takes 🫶. little cheat sheet moment.
• -l, --list-engines — lists the available engines Smuxi can connect to 👑. window shopping but for engines.
• *-e *engine, --engine=engine — connect to a remote engine 💅. pick your girl and go.

⌨️ KEY BINDINGS ⌨️

okay the keyboards here are similar to that of irssi and similar clients — iykyk 😌. Important thing though: some terminal control characters (like C-c, C-z, etc) are not intercepted 💀 so don't expect her to catch everything. Also, common line editing keys that work in graphical applications will also work — your muscle memory is safe, fr fr.

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. keep that in mind, bestie.

• exit — exit the Smuxi frontend gracefully 🌸. leaving, but make it polite.
• window close — closes the current window. bye 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 💀. main character exit.
