It has many common features found in other clients, as well as many unique features. Gaim is not endorsed by or affiliated with America Online, ICQ, Microsoft, or Yahoo. .SH OPTIONS The following options are provided by \fBgaim-text\fR using the standard GNU command line syntax: .TP .B \-d, \-\-debug Print debugging messages to stderr and start with the \fBDebug\fR window. The messages shown in the \fBDebug\fR window are the same as the ones printed in stderr. .TP .B \-c, \-\-config=\fIDIR\fB Use \fIDIR\fR as the directory for config files instead of \fI~/.gaim\fR. .TP .B \-h, \-\-help Print this help and exit. .TP .B \-n, \-\-nologin Don't automatically login when \fBgaim-text\fR starts. Sets all accounts to Offline. .TP .B \-v, \-\-version Display the version information window. .SH GNT Shortcuts You can use the following shortcuts: .TP .B Alt \+ a Bring up a list of available actions. You can use this list to access the accounts window, plugins window, preference window etc. .TP .B Alt \+ n Go to the next window. .TP .B Alt \+ p Go to the previous window. .TP .B Alt \+ w Show the list of windows. You can select and jump to any window from the list. .TP .B Alt \+ c Close the current window. .TP .B Alt \+ q Quit. .TP .B Alt \+ m Start moving a window. Press the cursor keys to move the window. When you are done, press \fBEnter\fR or \fBEscape\fR. .TP .B Alt \+ r Start resizing a window. Press the cursor keys to resize the window. When you are done, press \fBEnter\fR or \fBEscape\fR. .TP .B Alt \+ d Dump the contents of the screen in HTML format in a file named "dump.html" in working directory. .TP .B Alt \+ . Move the position of the current window in the window list one place to the right. .TP .B Alt \+ , Move the position of the current window in the window list one place to the left. .TP .B Alt \+ l Refresh the windows. This is useful after resizing the terminal window. .TP .B Alt \+ 1 2 ... 0 Jump to the 1st, 2nd ... 10th window. .TP .B Ctrl \+ o Bring up the menu (if there is one) for a window. Note that currently only the buddylist has a menu. .SH FILES \fI~/.gntrc\fR: configuration file for gnt applications. .br .TP A sample file looks like: .br [general] .br shadow = 0 .br # There is experimental mouse support .br mouse = 1 .br # To use some custom window-manager .br wm = /usr/local/lib/gaim/s.so .br # Remember window-positions based on the titles (on by default) .br remember_position = 1 .br .br [colors] .br # The RGB values range in [0, 1000] .br black = 0; 0; 0 .br red = 1000; 0; 0 .br green = 0; 1000; 0 .br blue = 250; 250; 700 .br white = 1000; 1000; 1000 .br gray = 700; 700; 700 .br darkgray = 256; 256; 256 .br .br [colorpairs] .br normal = white; black .br highlight = white; blue .br highlightd = black; gray .br shadow = black; darkgray .br title = white; blue .br titled = white; gray .br text = white; blue .br disabled = gray; black .br urgent = green; black .br .br # Remap some keys for GntEntry .br [GntEntry::remap] .br # Remap the up-arrow to the left-arrow .br ^[[A = ^[[D .br # Remap the down-arrow to the right-arrow .br ^[[B = ^[[C .br # Remap 'a' to 'bcd' .br a = bcd .br # Completely ignore the key 'q' .br q = .br # But the following will NOT work .br #abc = bcd .br # Hitting 'space' will activate a button .br [GntButton::remap] .br \\ = \\r .br .SH Widget Actions You can specifiy key-bindings for specific widgets. The following entries in \fI~/.gntrc\fR correspond to the default keybindings for the actions: .br [GntEntry::binding] .br c-a = cursor-home .br home = cursor-home .br c-e = cursor-end .br end = cursor-end .br backspace = delete-prev .br del = delete-next .br c-d = delete-next .br c-u = delete-start .br c-k = delete-end .br c-b = cursor-prev .br left = cursor-prev .br c-f = cursor-next .br right = cursor-next .br tab = suggest-show .br down = suggest-next .br up = suggest-prev .br c-w = delete-prev-word .br a-b = cursor-prev-word .br a-f = cursor-next-word .br a-d = delete-next-word .br [GntTree::binding] .br up = move-up .br down = move-down .br c-n = move-down .br c-p = move-up .br pageup = page-up .br pagedown = page-down .br # Following is the default binding for the context-menu .br menu = context-menu .br # The following will let you open the context-menu in the buddylist with c-b .br # c-b = context-menu .br [GntWidget::binding] .br f11 = context-menu [GntWindow::binding] .br c-o = show-menu .br f10 = show-menu The \fBc-\fR corresponds to the \fBControl\fR key. You can also use \fBctrl-\fR or \fBctr-\fR or \fBctl-\fR to indicate a combination. For alt-keys, you can use one of \fBa-\fR, \fBalt-\fR, \fBm-\fR or \fBmeta-\fR. You can also use \fBhome\fR, \fBend\fR, \fBleft\fR, \fBright\fR etc. keys. .SH Mouse Support There is experimental mouse support. You can focus windows, activate buttons, select rows in a list, scroll using the wheel-scroll etc. Mouse support is disabled by default, so you need to enable it in \fI~/.gntrc\fR (see the sample above). .SH Window Management The default window management is very limited. But it is possible to write custom window managers to suit your needs. There is a sample window-manager included (named \fIs.so\fR) which adds a little 'close-button' for the windows, removes the borders from the buddylist and pops up new windows in the middle of the screen, instead of at the upper-left corder. It is provided as a sample simple manager, but it should be possible to write more complex managers, and it's very possible that the window-manager API will need to be enhanced. Look at the sample \fI~/.gntrc\fR file above to see how to select a window-manager. It is also possible to rebind the window-manager actions in \fI~/.gntrc\fR, eg: .br [GntWM::binding] .br a-n = window-next .br a-p = window-prev .br a-c = window-close .br a-w = window-list .br a-d = dump-screen .br a-, = shift-left .br a-. = shift-right .br a-a = action-list .br a-m = start-move .br a-r = start-resize .br a-q = wm-quit .br a-l = refresh-screen .br # The following action is still incomplete, and doesn't have a default binding .br # switch-window-n .br # For the sample custom window manager .br [GntS::binding] .br a-b = toggle-buddylist .SH Conversation Commands There are a few helpful commands in addition to the regular commands. You can use these from any conversation to access other windows. .TP .B accounts for the accounts window. .TP .B buddylist for the buddylist. .TP .B debugwin for the debug window. .TP .B plugins for the plugins window. .TP .B prefs for the preferences window. .TP .B status for the status window. .SH BUGS Known bugs are listed at .br \fIhttp://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=235&atid=100235\fR .SH PATCHES If you fix a bug in \fBgaim-text\fR (or otherwise enhance it), please submit a patch (using \fIsvn diff > my.diff\fR against the latest SVN version) at .br \fIhttp://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=add&group_id=235&atid=300235\fR Before sending a bug report, please verify that you have the latest version of \fBgaim-text\fR and \fBlibgaim\fR. Many bugs (major and minor) are fixed at each release, and if yours is out of date, the problem may already have been solved. You are also encouraged to drop by at \fB#gaim\fR on \fIirc.freenode.net\fR to discuss about development. .SH SEE ALSO \fIhttp://gaim.sourceforge.net/\fR .br \fIhttp://www.sourceforge.net/projects/gaim/\fR .SH LICENSE This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.
