Poezio is a free console XMPP client (the protocol on which the Jabber IM network is built).
Its goal is to let you connect very easily (no account creation needed) to the network and join various chatrooms, immediately. It tries to look like the most famous IRC clients (weechat, irssi, etc). Many commands are identical and you won’t be lost if you already know these clients. Configuration can be made in a configuration file or directly from the client.
You’ll find the light, fast, geeky and anonymous spirit of IRC while using a powerful, standard and open protocol.
Features
Message Reactions
This is a small release as it only contains this feature, both receiving and sending.
Receiving reactions is enabled by default and can be turned off (requires a restart) using the enable_reactions option.
The reactions received on a message are shown under the message contents, prefixed with a colored pipe to differenciate between reactions and normal text. The pipe color can be configured in the theme through COLOR_REACTIONS_TEXT, by default it is the same color as information messages in the UI.
When there is only one of a specific emoji, it is displayed without a count, but starting from two, the emoji is suffixed with [n] where n is the number of times the emoji has been used to react to the message.
Sending reactions is achieved through a new react plugin and its /react command.
/react works by providing a full timestamp as the first argument, and then as many emojis as you want (starting from 0 to remove reactions), separated by spaces. Non-emoji characters are rejected.
The command is made usable through the completion system; if completing the first argument, it will iterate backwards through the most recent messages. If completing the second, it will iterate through the emoji reactions already received for that message – if any –.
