-v, --version Show version and build information. -h, --help Show help on command line arguments. -a, --account ACCOUNT Auto connect to an account on startup, ACCOUNT must be an existing account. -c, --config Use an alternative config file. -l, --log LEVEL Set the logging level, LEVEL may be set to DEBUG, INFO (the default), WARN or ERROR. -f, --logfile Specify a different logfile -t, --theme THEME Specify which theme to use. THEME must be one of the themes installed in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/profanity/themes
KEYBINDINGS
Tab, Shift+Tab Tab completion next, previous. Works for commands, nicks and quotes (when input line starts with >). ALT+1..Alt-0 or F1..F10 Choose window 1..10. ALT+q..Alt-p (in QWERTY layout) Choose window 11..20. ALT+LEFT Choose previous chat window. ALT+RIGHT Choose next chat window. PAGEUP Page the active window up. PAGEDOWN Page the active window down. ALT+PAGEUP Page the occupants or roster panel up. ALT+PAGEDOWN Page the occupants or roster panel down. ALT+a Jump to the next unread window. ALT+v Mark current window for later reading with an attention flag. ALT+m Switch between windows marked with the attention flag. ALT+c Run external editor (see profanity-editor(1)) for current input line. CTRL+DOWN Store current input line in history but do not execute it. Note: Profanity is using GNU Readline library to handle input so default configuration file ~/.inputrc affects operation. In addition to that $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/profanity/inputrc is read after all default keybindigs are set so one can override or add settings there. For reference, see Readline documentation: info readline "Command Line Editing" "Readline Init File" "Readline Init File Syntax" and the list of available Profanity commands in inputwin.c. Standard Readline keybindings are supported, including C-r for interactive history search and C-x C-r for reloading inputrc without restart.
