Commands ======== Commands start with the ``/`` character and can take a list of any number of arguments, separated by spaces. If an argument should contain a space, you can use the ``"`` character to surround this argument. The commands described in this page are shown like this: ``/command <mandatory argument> [optional argument]`` You can get the same help as below from inside poezio with the :term:`/help` command. .. note:: Use command parameters like this: - Do not use quotes if they are unnecessary (words without special chars or spaces) - If the command takes several agrguments, you need to put quotes around arguments containing special chars such as backslashes or quotes - If the command always takes only one argument, then do not use quotes even for words containing special chars .. _global-commands: Global commands ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ These commands work in *any* tab. .. glossary:: :sorted: /help **Usage:** ``/help [command]`` If called without an argument, this command will list the available commands.

You can specify a nickname after a slash (/). If no nickname is specified, you will use the default_nick in the configuration file.

You can also provide a room_name without specifying a server, the server of the room you're currently in will be used. You can also provide a password to join the room. *Examples:* - ``/join room@server.tld`` - ``/join room@server.tld/John`` - ``/join room2`` - ``/join /me_again`` - ``/join`` - ``/join room@server.tld/my_nick password`` - ``/join / password`` /destroy_room **Usage:** ``/destroy_room [room JID]`` Try to destroy the room given as a parameter, or the current room is not parameter is given and the current tab is a chatroom.

This command uses almost the same syntax as /join. Type ``/help join`` for syntax examples. Note that when typing /bookmark on its own, the room will be bookmarked with the nickname you're currently using in this room (instead of default_nick). You can specify an optional *autojoin* and *password* if you call it with the full line (/bookmark alone will put the room in autojoin without password). The bookmarks stored with this command are stored on your xmpp server. /bookmark_local **Usage:** ``/bookmark_local [roomname][/nick]`` Bookmark the specified room (you will then auto-join it on each poezio start).

But you can also write to another section, with ``/set bindings M-i ^i``, to a plugin configuration with ``/set mpd_client| host main`` (notice the **|**, it is mandatory to write in a plugin), or even to another section in a plugin configuration ``/set plugin|other_section option value``. **toggle** can be used as a special value for a boolean option. It just set the option to true if it’s currently false, and to false if it’s currently true. /set_default **Usage:** ``/set_default [section] <option>`` Set the value of an option back to the default.
