# NAME
senpai - your everyday IRC student
# SYNOPSIS
*senpai* [options...]
# OPTIONS
*-config* <path>
Use a different path for the configuration file.
*-debug*
Show all IRC messages that are received from/sent to the server.
# DESCRIPTION
senpai is an IRC client made for bouncers. It supports the newest IRC
extensions, such as:
- _CHATHISTORY_, senpai fetches history from the server instead of keeping logs,
- _@+typing_, senpai shows when others are typing a message,
- and more to come!
# CONFIGURATION
senpai needs a configuration file to start. It searches for it in the following
location:
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/senpai/senpai.yaml
If unset, $XDG_CONFIG_HOME defaults to *~/.config*.
For information about the configuration format, see *senpai*(5).
# USER INTERFACE
The user interface of senpai consists of 4 parts. Starting from the bottom:
The *buffer list*, shows joined channels. The special buffer *home* is where
private messages and server notices are shown.
On the row above, the *input field* is where you type in messages or commands
(see *COMMANDS*). By default, when you type a message, senpai will inform
others in the channel that you are typing.
On the row above, the *status line* (or... just a line if nothing is
happening...) is where typing indicators are shown (e.g. "dan- is typing...").
Finally, the *timeline* is displayed on the rest of the screen. Several types
of messages are in the timeline:
- User messages are shown with their nicknames,
- User actions (*/me*) are shown with an asterisk (*\**) followed by the user's
nickname,
- Status messages, such as joins, parts, topics and name lists, are shown with
two dashes (*--*),
- Notices are shown with an asterisk (*\**) followed by the message in
parenthesis.
# KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS
*CTRL-C*
Quit the program.
*CTRL-U*, *PgUp*
Go up in the timeline.
*CTRL-D*, *PgDown*
Go down in the timeline.
*CTRL-N*, *ALT-RIGHT*
Go to the next buffer.
*CTRL-P*, *ALT-LEFT*
Go to the previous buffer.
*UP*, *DOWN*, *LEFT*, *RIGHT*, *HOME*, *END*, *BACKSPACE*, *DELETE*
Edit the text in the input field.
*ENTER*
Sends the contents of the input field.
*TAB*
Trigger the auto-completion. Press several times to cycle through
completions.
*CTRL-L*
Refresh the window.
# COMMANDS
If you type and send a message that starts with a slash (*/*), it will instead
be interpreted as a command:
/_name_ argument1 argument2...
_name_ is matched case-insensitively. It can be one of the following:
*HELP* [search]
Show the list of command (or a commands that match the given search terms).
*J*, *JOIN* <channel>
Join the given channel.
*PART* [channel]
Part the given channel, defaults to the current one if omitted.
*NAMES*
Show the member list of the current channel. Powerlevels (such as _@_ for
"operator", or _+_ for "voice") are shown in green.
*TOPIC* [topic]
If _topic_ is omitted, show the topic of the current channel and, if
available, the person who set it and the time when it has been set.
Otherwise, change the topic of the current channel to _topic_.
*MSG* <target> <content>
Send _content_ to _target_.
*R* <content>
Reply to the last person who sent a private message.
*ME* <content>
Send a message prefixed with your nick (a user action).
*QUOTE* <raw message>
Send _raw message_ verbatim.
