Slash Commands

This chapter is in progress

A full command reference will be generated from the source so it never drifts from the app. For now, this is an outline.

Lurker is built around a slash-command interface: every feature is operable by typing a structured command, and the graphical UI is a view over that same core. If you know the command, you never need to reach for the mouse.

How commands work

• Type / in the message box to start a command.
• App-scoped commands (like settings and network management) run regardless of which buffer you're in; their output appears in the system buffer.

Common commands

• /help — list available commands.
• /network — view and manage your network connections.
• /set, /get — read and change settings from the keyboard.
• /away [message] — set your away status on the current network; /back (or /away with no message) clears it. Add -all for every network. The Scope away to all networks by default setting flips this, and -one then limits it to the current network.

Reference

A complete, always-current command reference is planned, generated directly from Lurker's command definitions. Until then, /help in the app is the source of truth.
