# A power user's guide to Moment
|
|
|
|
This page describes the intended way to navigate Moment to reach its full
|
|
potential.
|
|
It is intended for users who participate in hundrends of chat rooms and are
|
|
active in many conversations at once.
|
|
|
|
## Jumping to received messages
|
|
|
|
If you receive a lot of messages that you would like to respond to, you may
|
|
find it tedious to keep clicking on the room list. A quicker way is to press
|
|
<kbd>Ctrl+U</kbd> to jump to the latest unread room.
|
|
|
|
## Jumping to recently visited chats
|
|
|
|
When you are active in many rooms at once, it can be useful to switch between
|
|
them quickly without needing to think which is which. For this purpose, Moment
|
|
remembers recently visited rooms, and you can quickly navigate through the
|
|
history using <kbd>Ctrl+H</kbd> and <kbd>Ctrl+L</kbd>. If you are struggling to
|
|
keep up with many ongoing conversations, we recommend utilizing this history as
|
|
much as possible.
|
|
|
|
## Jumping to specific rooms
|
|
|
|
You can use <kbd>Ctrl+K</kbd> to search for a room and switch to it. However,
|
|
you may find that you keep searching for the same rooms again and again. There
|
|
is a faster way which does not require typing out the name of a room: setting
|
|
some custom keybindings for jumping to specific rooms.
|
|
|
|
For example, if you often talk in `#moment-client:matrix.org`, you may want to
|
|
set a custom binding <kbd>Ctrl+G Ctrl+M</kbd> for it. Right-click on it in the
|
|
room list and select "Copy room ID". Add the following entry to your
|
|
[config file](CONFIG.md):
|
|
|
|
``` python
|
|
class Keys:
|
|
class Rooms:
|
|
class Direct:
|
|
"!wweZtVjpQSdWDDruas:mazie.rocks" = ["Ctrl+G,Ctrl+M"]
|
|
```
|
|
Where `!wweZtVjpQSdWDDruas:mazie.rocks` is the id for
|
|
`#moment-client:matrix.org` in this example.
|
|
|
|
Unlike using <kbd>Ctrl+K</kbd>, this approach is independent of room name
|
|
changes. For example, when another user changes their display name, the DM room
|
|
name would change, but not the ID, so the keybinding remains functional.
|
|
|
|
We suggest setting memorable keybindings. In the above example,
|
|
<kbd>Ctrl+G Ctrl+M</kbd> could mean "Go to Moment". Note that key chords in
|
|
Moment can be as long as you want - for example, you could have
|
|
<kbd>Ctrl+G Ctrl+M Ctrl+O</kbd> for `#moment-client:matrix.org` and
|
|
<kbd>Ctrl+G Ctrl+M Ctrl+I</kbd> for `#mirage-client:matrix.org`.
