BASICS
The following sections will give you a short overview on how to use poezio. Poezio has
many more options, commands and key bindings, please refer to poezio.cfg(7),
poezio.commands(7), poezio.keys(7) or the full documentation which should have been

A tab, in Poezio, is the base structure of the interface. A tab may contains one or more
windows, the main types are:
Roster tab
It contains a browsable list of your contacts on the left, as well as an info
window on the right.
Chatroom tab
This tab displays the contents of a multi-user chat.
Conversation tab
It is used for one-to-one communication, usually when using a real Jabber
account.
