+
+Use the _up_ and _down_ keys to go from one field to the other, and edit the

+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.
