A Matrix chat client

Usage

1. ./build.py
2. make accounts/profile.json with:

   {
     "accounts": [
       {
         "type": "matrix",
         "server": "https://matrix.org", // or your homeserver
         "userid": "@example:matrix.org",
         "password": "yourPassword" // or "token": "tokenToUse"
       }
       // you can add more accounts here
     ],
     "global": {"theme": "dark"} // or "light"
   }

3. ./run (alternatively, ./run path/to/alternateProfile.json)

keybindings

key	action
up	edit previous message
down	edit next message (or stop editing if at last)
alt+up	reply to message above current
alt+down	reply to message below current
alt+click	reply to currently hovered over message
esc	cancel reply/edit/message
ctrl+alt+shift+del	delete message currently selected for editing
ctrl+up	go to room above
ctrl+down	go to room below
ctrl+plus	increase UI scale
ctrl+minus	decrease UI scale
ctrl+shift+v	paste clipboard as code block

Most of those (along with some other things) are configurable.

res/chat.dzcfg contains the defaults, and while it can be directly modified, it is preferred to make a file local.dzcfg in the root folder of the project and copy the necessary fields in.

You can reload the config with f5 (some things may not update (instead requiring a restart), but most things reload live fine).

syntax

by default, messages are interpreted as a markdown-ish thing. This default can be changed in res/chat.dzcfg `markdown = true`

/md forced *markdown*
/text forced plain text (also "/plain ..." works)
/me does something
/html <p>manually enter HTML</p>
/goto https://matrix.to/#/!foo:matrix.org/$bar // same behavior as clicking a link containing that URL
/sort // if there were federation issues and messages are shown in non-chronological order, this command will (visually, locally, temporarily) sort them.
/theme light, /theme dark // change theme
File uploading mostly works; the client can display images & gifs inline, but videos will open externally.
Right click on many things (rooms, messages, links, images, user @s, code blocks) gives more options.
