Configuration

visibility

Text input visibility. When set to "focused" it will only be visible when the buffer is focused.

# Type: string
# Values: "always", "focused"
# Default: "always"

[buffer.text_input]
visibility = "always"

auto_format

Control if the text input should auto format the input. By default text is only formatted when using the /format command.

# Type: string
# Values: "disabled", "markdown", "all"
# Default: "disabled"

[buffer.text_input]
auto_format = "markdown"

key_bindings

Different key bindings for the text input

# Type: string
# Values: "default", "emacs"
# Default: "emacs" on macOS, "default" for all other OSes

[buffer.text_input]
key_bindings = "emacs"

emacs

Emacs variant has the following binds:

ctrl+a: Move to the beginning of the line
ctrl+e: Move to the end of the line
ctrl+b: Move backward one character
ctrl+f: Move forward one character
ctrl+d: Delete the character under the cursor
ctrl+k: Kill rest of line from cursor
alt+b: Move the cursor backward one word
alt+f: Move the cursor forward one word

💡 Global keyboard shortcuts take precedence. Unset any that collide (e.g., set command_bar = "unset").

max_lines

Maximum number of lines in a single input. If multiline is supported by the server then it will be utilized, otherwise messages will be sent individually with send_line_delay milliseconds between them.

⚠️ In many IRC communities sending multiple lines in quick succession is frowned upon (and may be a bannable offense); be mindful of community norms when using this feature

# Type: integer
# Values: > 0
# Default: 5

[buffer.text_input]
max_lines = 5

send_line_delay

Delay (milliseconds) between each line when sending multiple lines. When the server does not support SAFERATE messages may be delayed longer due to anti-flood protections.

# Type: integer
# Values: >= 0
# Default: 100

[buffer.text_input]
send_line_delay = 100

Autocomplete

Customize autocomplete

Nickname

Customize nickname left of text input
