= nheko(1) :doctype: manpage :Date: 2022-01-27 :Revision: @PROJECT_VERSION@ :man source: nheko :man manual: General Commands Manual == NAME nheko - Desktop client for Matrix using Qt and C++17 == SYNOPSIS *nheko* [_OPTIONS_] == DESCRIPTION The motivation behind the project is to provide a native desktop app for Matrix that feels more like a mainstream chat app (Element, Telegram etc) and less like an IRC client. == OPTIONS *-h*, *--help*:: Displays help on commandline options. *--help-all*:: Displays help including Qt specific options. *-v*, *--version*:: Displays version information. *--debug*:: Alias for _--log-level trace_. *-l*, *--log-level* __:: Set the global log level, or a comma-separated list of _=_ pairs, or both. For example, to set the default log level to _warn_ but disable logging for the _ui_ component, pass _warn,ui=off_. + levels: _trace_ _debug_ _info_ _warning_ _error_ _critical_ _off_ + components: _crypto_ _db_ _mtx_ _net_ _qml_ _ui_ + Log levels can also be set in the NHEKO_LOG_LEVEL environment variable, using the same syntax. It will be overridden by this command line option. *-L*, *--log-type* __:: Set the log output type. A comma-separated list is allowed. The default is _file,stderr_. + types: _file_ _stderr_ _none_ + The log type can also be set in the NHEKO_LOG_TYPE environment variable, which will be overridden by this command line option. *-p* __, *--profile* __:: Creates a unique profile, which allows you to log into several accounts at the same time and start multiple instances of nheko. Use _default_ to start with the default profile. == FAQ === How do I add stickers and custom emojis? Stickers and custom emojis are organized in image packs. There is one user image pack that only your account has access to and there are room image packs that are accessible by everyone in the room they are defined in. You can activate a room image pack globally to use it in any room. To manage image packs in nheko, go to the room settings and enter the Sticker & Emote Settings. You will see the Private pack (your user image pack) and can edit it there. The Shortcode is a unique identifier you use to select the image with and the Body is the alternate text that is displayed on clients that don't support images (like the alt tag in HTML images). If you have the necessary permissions you can create new room packs with the button at the bottom of the image pack list. They are the same as the user pack but you can create as many as you want and everyone in the room can use them. It might be a good idea to create an extra room just for your image packs to make sharing easier. == COMPLETERS Completers spawn a popup with completion candidates when you type them in the input line. *@*:: Open username completer. *#*:: Open room completer. *:*:: Open unicode emoji picker. *~*:: Open custom emoji picker. Requires an image pack with custom emojis. Selecting an emoji will add HTML code for the inline image into the input line. == KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS === Room list *Ctrl-Up/Ctrl-Down*:: Navigate within the room list. *Ctrl-W*:: Close the currently open room. *Ctrl-K*:: Search and select rooms from the room list. *Alt-A*, *Ctrl-Shift-A*:: Select next room with activity. === Timeline/Messaging *PgUp/PgDn*:: Scroll timeline per page. *Alt-Up/Alt-Down*:: Reply to a message. *Up/Down*:: Edit a message. *Ctrl-E*:: Edit message currently selected as reply. *Alt-F*:: Forward message currently selected as reply. *Ctrl-P/Ctrl-N*:: Reenter previous/next message. *Ctrl-U*:: Delete everything in the input line. *Ctrl-Left/Ctrl-Right*:: Jump one word left/right in the input line. *Shift-Enter*:: Insert line break. *Enter*:: Submit message. == COMMANDS Commands only work when they are used at the beginning of text. === Custom messages */me* __:: Send a message as an emote, where your username is prefixed. */react* __:: Send a message as a reaction when you’re replying to a message. */md* __:: Force Markdown when sending the current message. */plain* __:: Force plain text when sending the current message. */rainbow* __:: Send a message in rainbow colors. */rainbowme* __:: Send a message as a rainbow-colored emote, where your username is prefixed. */notice* __:: Send a message as a notice. */rainbownotice* __:: Send a message as a rainbow-colored notice. === Room management */join* __ _[reason]_:: Join a room. _reason_ is optional. */knock* __ _[reason]_:: Ask to join a room. _reason_ is optional. */part*, */leave* _[reason]_:: Leave the current room. _reason_ is optional. */invite* __ _[reason]_:: Invite a user into the current room. _reason_ is optional. */kick* __ _[reason]_:: Kick a user from the current room. _reason_ is optional. */ban* __ _[reason]_:: Ban a user from the current room. _reason_ is optional. */unban* __ _[reason]_:: Unban a user. _reason_ is optional. */redact* __ _[reason]_:: Redacts all visible messages of the specified user.
