(it has no icon)

A client renown for actually being developed.

Oh my god it’s like I’m the first person to look at the website or use the program.

Their fucking website is busted. I have to scroll to the right to see anything.
For some fucking reason, the commandline to run it is tt++
They have no quit commands, you have to discover control-d
#session doesn’t use a default port number (23)
It doesn’t constrain my typing to the bottom bar; incoming text will damage my commandline.
- This is reportedly solved with #split. Why isn’t this default?!
  — (also explore #prompt)
control-left sends junk text but should skip forward one word.
control-right sends junk text but should skip ahead one word.
control-backspace sends junk text but should delete the previous word (alt-backspace does this)
If you try to connect to something invalid, it will freeze.

There’s documentation found within /usr/share/doc/tintin++/
- It’s all gzipped, so use zless
I found ~/.tintin/ and its history file. Maybe I can put autostart scripts in there?
- There appears to be no such thing.
I found https://tintin.sourceforge.io/linux.php
FIXME – implement quit, /quit and control-q as control-d to exit
- https://tintin.mudhalla.net/manual/macro.php
- I can’t figure how offhand.. control-v doesn’t work.

Usage ∞

Create a file foo.tin with your scripting

#split
#session alias example.com 23;username;password

Then run as:

tt++  ./foo.tin

Their manual is awful. They obviously don’t want users.

Write comments with #nop
- They’re too stupid to do something like # (with a space after)
#help
