List of online contacts outside of rooms

[Ingo Bürk]

Hi everybody,

looking for a CLI XMPP client, I came across profanity. So far it looks awesome. However, I mostly don't use "rooms". We have a Jabber at work and I also want to use it for the facebook chat.

Connecting works fine. But unless I'm in a room, it seems the only way to see a list of online users is by executing "/who online" – manually.

Is there any way to have a similar display of online users I can see when I'm in a room for facebook or for just being connected to the server (i.e., a list of all online contacts)?

Currently using /who is the only way to see who is online.

However, it should be relatively easy to add the roster as a side panel. I've added a feature request, and will update this topic once implemented.

This feature has now been implemented in master, the roster appears in the console window (similar to occupants in chat rooms) and is configurable with the following:

• /roster show - Show the roster
• /roster hide - Hide the roster (default)
• /roster show offline - Show offline contacts
• /roster hide offline - Hide offline contacts (default)
• /roster show resource - Show connected resources for each online contact
• /roster hide resource - Hide connected resources for each online contact (default)
• /roster by group - Group contacts by roster group
• /roster by presence - Group contacts by presence
• /roster by none - Do not group contacts (default)
