notifications on typing

[kisho...@gmail.com]

Hi

I am using profanity in my Linux laptop and my friend is using chatsecure to chat with me I enabled the /intype but it doesn't show that the typing is happening.

same thing with the following commands too...

/notify typing on|off
/notify typing current on|off
/outtype on|off

I mean these commands will show that the typing is happening in my linux console right? I mean what am i missing here?.

Is the other end actually sending typing notifications?

nope, actually my friend is using is Chat Secure for gtalk while i am using profanity for gtalk

Ok, unfortunately I don't believe GTalk supports chat states which is required for typing notifications.

Thank you for answering my query.

I have one more query to ask you since profanity is already using OTR for privacy and encryption why Open PGP is also employed in Profanity?

forgive my ignorance, please explain this to me?

[Boothj5]

To give users the choice,  OpenPGP is still very widely used.
