A Matrix chat client

Usage

1. ./build.py (requires Java ≥ 11)
2. make accounts/profile.json with:

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

3. ./run (alternatively, ./run path/to/alternateProfile.json; the password field can be removed after closing the app, the stored token will keep you logged in)

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.

_italics_

\*text surrounded by asterisks\*
