||||
## Common Commands
|
||||
|
||||
- Connect to an XMPP server: `/connect user@server.url`
|
||||
- Open a new window and send a message to anyone in the world: `/msg <username@server.url> <message>`
|
||||
- If you just want to open a new window without sending a message, simply omit the `<message>` part of the command
|
||||
- Open a new window and send a message to someone in your contacts list: `/msg <contact> <message>`
|
||||
- Join a chat room: `/join <room@server.url>`
|
||||
- Note that your nickname is by default the username you use for the XMPP server you use (`username@server.url`)
|
||||
- To specifiy a different nickname when joining a room, use `/join <room@server.url> nick <name>`
|
||||
- If the room is located at `room@conference.server.url`, you can simply use `/join <room>`
|
||||
- If a room requires a password, add `password <password>` to the end of the command
|
||||
- Change your nickname in a chat room: `/nick <name>`
|
||||
- Send a file to the chat: `/sendfile <filepath>`
|
||||
- Note that it may be better to just upload the file somewhere
|
||||
- Leave a chat room: `/leave`
|
||||
- Logout of the current XMPP server: `/disconnect`
|
||||
- Quit profanity: `/quit`
|
||||
|
||||
### Working with Contacts
|
||||
|
||||
- Add someone to your list of contacts: `/roster add <username@server.url>`
|
||||
- To specify a nickname for the contact you add, simply add `<nickname>` to the end of the command
|
||||
- Note that by convention the nickname should not contain spaces
|
||||
- Request to know when someone is online or offline: `/sub request <username@server.url>`
|
||||
- Note that the official term for this is "subscribing to a contact's presence"
|
||||
- To remove someone from your list of contacts: `/sub remove <username@server.url>`
|
||||
- Note that this also removes your subscription to their presence, and their subscription to yours
|
||||
- Approve a contact's request to know when you're online or offline: `/sub allow <username@server.url`
|
||||
- To deny a request: `/sub deny <username@server.url`
|
||||
- List all of the sub requests you have sent that are waiting for approval: `/sub sent`
|
||||
- List all the sub requests that you have received but not yet approved or denied: `/sub received`
|
||||
- Invite a contact to the current chat room: `/invite <contact>`
|
||||
- You can add a `<message>` at the end to specify a reason for them to join
|
||||
- Note that, like other commands, you must put the contact name in quotations if it contains spaces (avoid doing this)
|
||||
- To show all the rooms that you have been invited to (and haven't accepted or declined yet), use `/invites`
|
||||
- View all your contacts: `/roster`
|
||||
- Remove a nickname from a contact: `/roster clearnick <username@server.url>`
|
||||
|
||||
Note that if you're already in a chat window with the user, you can use the `/sub` commands without specifying the user.
|
||||
|
||||
### Contact Groups
|
||||
|
||||
- List all the current groups: `/group`
|
||||
- Show contacts in a particular group: `/group show <group_name>`
|
||||
- The group name can be, for example, `friends`, `family`, or even more specific like `project` or `service`.
|
||||
- Add a contact to a group: `/group add <group_name> <contact>`
|
||||
- Note that there is no command to add a group
|
||||
- Adding a contact to a group that doesn't exist will create it
|
||||
- Remove a contact from a group: `/group remove <group_name> <contact>`
|
||||
|
||||
### Presence (aka status)
|
||||
|
||||
- Set your status to away: `/away`
|
||||
- Set your status to extended away: `/xa`
|
||||
- Set your status to available for chat: `/chat`
|
||||
- Set your status to online: `/online`
|
||||
- Set your status to do not disturb: `/dnd`
|
||||
|
||||
**NOTE**: Each of these commands accept an optional `<message>`.
|
||||
|
||||
- Get the status of a user: `/status <contact|nick>`
|
||||
|
||||
## Direct Messages
|
||||
|
||||
- To direct a message towards a specific person, type the name of the person you want to direct the message to then press tab for Profanity to autocomplete it
|
||||
- To start a private chat session with someone in the chat room, use `/msg <nickname> <message>`
|
||||
|
||||
### Off The Record Messaging
|
||||
|
||||
**Do this first:** Generate a private key for the account you're using: `/otr gen`
|
||||
|
||||
- Start a new conversation using OTR: `/otr start <username@server.url>`
|
||||
- Start sending encrypted messages in an existing conversation window: `/otr start`
|
||||
|
||||
At this point, the conversation is encrypted with OTR, but the contact has not yet been authenticated.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Question and Answer
|
||||
|
||||
**To verify that a recipient is really who they say they are** you need to ask the contact a question that *only they would know* with an expected answer.
|
||||
|
||||
- Ask a question to verify that the recipient is really who they say they are: `/otr question "<question_that_only_they_could_answer>" "<answer>"`
|
||||
- If the recipient answers correctly, the OTR session becomes trusted, otherwise the authentication will fail and the OTR session is untrusted
|
||||
- To answer a question sent to you, use: `/otr answer "<answer>"`
|
||||
|
||||
**You should always authenticate both ways.** That is, after Bob verifies that Alice is really who she says she is, Alice needs to verify that Bob is really who he says he is. More specifically, each contact will send a question to the other contact.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Shared Secret
|
||||
|
||||
Another way to verify that a recipient is **really who they say they are**, you can use a shared "secret" (aka passphrase) that only you and the recipient know.
|
||||
|
||||
- Authenticate with a shared secret: `/otr secret <passphrase>`
|
||||
- Note that both parties must enter the same secret before both parties are authenticated
|
||||
|
||||
#### Fingerprint
|
||||
|
||||
The final way to verify that a recipient is who they say they are is manually with their key's fingerprint.
|
||||
|
||||
**You must exchange fingerprints with your contact via another secure communication channel**, preferrably in person.
|
||||
|
||||
- Display your key's fingerprint: `/otr myfp`
|
||||
- View the fingerprint of a recipient whilst in an OTR session: `/otr theirfp`
|
||||
- When you verify someone, this fingerprint should match the one that they gave you in real life (or, arguably less secure, on another communication channel considered secure).
|
||||
- Manually authenticate the recipient: `/otr trust`
|
||||
- You should only manually verify a recipient **if and only if** the fingerprints match.
|
||||
- Note that you can untrust the recipient at any time with `/otr untrust`
|
||||
|
||||
**NOTE**: You can only use off the record messaging with other people that have it enabled.
|
||||
|
||||
#### OTR Options
|
||||
|
||||
The default settings in Profanity allow for unencrypted messages. OTR must be started manually with `/otr start`.
|
||||
|
||||
You have the option to change this setting to force an encrypted conversation.
|
||||
|
||||
- Allow unencrypted messages, OTR must be started manually: `/otr policy manual`
|
||||
- Attempt to start an OTR session by default (both parties must have a policy set to `opportunistic` or `always`): `/otr policy opportunistic`
|
||||
- Always use encrypted messages (unencrypted messages will not be sent): `/otr policy always`
|
||||
- View the current policy for OTR: `/prefs otr`
|
||||
- To use OTR always for a specific account: `/account set <account_name> otr always`
|
||||
- To show all the settings for a specific account: `/account show <account_name>`
|
||||
- To always use OTR for a particular contact: `/otr policy always <contact>`
|
||||
- Show the current settings for a particular contact: `/account show <contact>`
|
||||
|
||||
#### Logging
|
||||
|
||||
- Log OTR messages in plaintext: `/otr log on`
|
||||
- Log redacted messages: `/otr log redact`
|
||||
- Do not log OTR messages: `/otr log off`
|
||||
- Show the current log file location: `/log where`
|
||||
|
||||
**NOTE**: Messages will only be logged if `/chlog` is set to `on`. Use `/chlog on|off` to turn chat logging on or off respectfully.
|
||||
|
||||
### GPG Encrypted Messaging
|
||||
|
||||
**NOTE**: Although the default command is `/pgp`, the config file makes `/gpg` work as well.
|
||||
|
||||
- List all the keys on your system: `/pgp keys`
|
||||
- Assign a GPG key to your account (required for other contacts to send GPG-encrypted messages to you): `/account set <your_account@server.url> pgpkeyid <your_pgpkeyid>`
|
||||
- Manually assign a GPG key to a contact: `/pgp setkey <their_account@server.url> <their_pgpkeyid>`
|
||||
- List all currently known public keys (both received through signed presence and set manually): `/pgp contacts`
|
||||
|
||||
- Sending GPG-encrypted messages: `/pgp start <user@server.url>`
|
||||
- Note that if you're already in the conversation window, the last part isn't needed
|
||||
- Stop sending GPG-encrypted messages: `/pgp end`
|
||||
- Unlike OTR, GPG encryption is one-way. That is, it is possible for you to send encrypted messages and not the recipient. Ensure that both you (`send`) and the other party (`recv`) are sending encrypted messages
|
||||
|
||||
Note that GPG message logging works the same way as OTR, except with `/pgp log` instead of `/otr log`
|
||||
|
||||
**NOTE**: Both parties must have GPG encryption enabled for this to work.
|
||||
|
||||
To change the message symbol used for OTR and GPG (by default `~` for both), use `/otr char <symbol>` and `/pgp char <symbol>` respectfully.
|
||||
|
||||
