 Usage
 =====
 
+This page is the main page of the documentation for poezio, explaining how to
+ use it and describing its interfaces.
+
+Poezio is composed of tabs which can be of various types. Each tab type has
+a distinct interface, list of commands and list of key shortcuts, in addition
+to the global commands and key shortcuts.
+
+Tabs
+----
+On all tabs, you get a line showing the the list of all opened tabs. Each tab
+has a number, each time you open a new tab, it gets the next available number.
+
+
+image::../images/tab_bar.png[title="Example of 5 opened tabs"]
+
+The tab numbered _0_ is always the _roster_ tab, the other tabs can be of any
+type.
+
+
+The status of a tab is represented by its color:
+
+* *[navy]#blue#* (tab _0_): an inactive tab of any type, nothing new to see
+   there.
+* *[purple]#purple#* (tab _1_): a MultiUserChat tab with at least one new
+  unread message.
+* *[green]#green#* (tab _2_): a tab of a private conversation with a new
+   message to read.
+* *[teal]#cyan#* (tab _3_): the current tab.
+* *[red]#red#* (tab _4_): a MultiUserChat tab with at least one new hightlight
+   message.
+
+You can go from one tab to another in many ways:
+
+* Ctrl+n and Ctrl+p
+* <<command-win, win>> command
+* <<command-next, next>> and <<command-prev, prev>> commands
+* Alt+ a number
+* Alt+j followed by a two-digits number
+* Alt+e, this will jump to the next tab with the highest priority. Priority
+  applies in this order: private message > highlight message > normal message.
+
+Roster tab
+~~~~~~~~~~
+This is a unique tab, always numbered _0_. It contains the list of your
+contacts. You can add/remove/edit/search contacts from there, and you can open
+a conversation with one of them.
+
+Use the _arrows_ to browse the list, the _space_ key to fold or unfold a group
+or a contact.
+
+image::../images/roster.png["The roster tab", title="The roster tab"]
+
+* _1_: The area where information messages are displayed.
+* _2_: The actual list of contacts. The first level is group, the second is the
+* contacts and the third is the resources of you online contacts.
+* _3_: More informations about the selected contact.
+
+MultiUserChat tab
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+This tab contains a multi-users conversation.
+
+image::../images/muc.png["The MUC tab", title="The MUC tab"]
+
+* _1_: The conversation window, this is where all the messages and events
+  related to the muc will be displayed. It can be scrolled up and down with
+  PageUp and PageDown.
+* _2_: The participant list. Participants are listed by their role first, and
+  then alphabetically.
+  In the default theme, The nick colors mean:
+  - Red: moderator
+  - Blue: participant
+  - gray: visitor + 
+  + 
+  The status of each participant is symbolized using the _color_ of the
+  character on the left of its nick.
+  That character also shows the chatstate of each participant:
+  - _|_: inactive
+  - _X_: composing
+  - _A_: active
+  - _p_: paused
+* _3_: Your information in that MUC (the name of the room, your nick, your role
+  and affiliation).
+* _4_: The topic of the room.
+
+You can configure the room (if you have the rights to do it) using the
+_/configure_ command, open a private conversation with someone using the
+_/query_ command, change or view the topic using the _/topic_ command…
+
+Private tab
+~~~~~~~~~~~
+This is the tab opened with the _/query_ command, letting you talk in private
+with a participant of a multi-users chat.
+
+image::../images/private.png["The private tab", title="The private tab"]
+
+This is just a simple one to one conversation, with a line showing the status,
+name and chatstate of the participant.
+
+Conversation tab
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+A tab opened from the roster, to talk in private with one of your contacts.
+
+image::../images/conversation.png["The conversation tab", title="The conversation tab"]
+
+This is also just a simple one to one conversation, with a line showing the status,
+name and chatstate of the participant, as well as a line at the top showing the
+status message of the contact.
+
+Dataforms tab
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+This tab lets you view a form receive from a remote entity, edit the values and
+send everything back. It is mostly used to configure MUCs with the _/configure_
+command but can actually be used for almost anything.
+
+image::../images/data_forms.png["The dataform tab", title="The dataform tab"]
+
+Use the _up_ and _down_ keys to go from one field to the other, and edit the
+value using the _space_, _left_ or _right_ keys, or by entering text.
+
+You can then send the completed form using _Ctrl+y_ or cancel using _Ctrl+g_.
+
+List tab
+~~~~~~~~
+
+This tab lists all public rooms on a MUC service. It is currently very limited
+but will be improved in the future. There currently is no way to search a room
+or even to sort them.
+
+image::../images/list.png["The list tab", title="The list tab"]
+
+Use the _up_ and _down_ or _PageUp_ and _PageDown_ keys to browse the list, and
+use _Enter_ or _j_ to join the selected room.
+
