# Quick account switching in FluffyChat
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
FluffyChat 0.41.0 brings support for using multiple accounts and has an early
|
|
|
|
|
implementation of quickly switching accounts via input bar, which will get
|
|
|
|
|
better in a future release, but for now, for impatient people, it can
|
|
|
|
|
be used by enabling it with Element's (Web/Desktop) `/devtools` by sending
|
|
|
|
|
a custom account state event.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Open Element Web with an account where to set quick switching prefix.
|
|
|
|
|
2. In any chatbox enter `/devtools` and enter
|
|
|
|
|
3. Select "Send account data"
|
|
|
|
|
4. Enter the type as `im.fluffychat.account_bundles` (***WARNING: in case it's
|
|
|
|
|
typoed the typoed event cannot be removed without being an server administrator with
|
|
|
|
|
database access.***
|
|
|
|
|
5. Send the following JSON, adjusting where needed (note: the opening and closing
|
|
|
|
|
brackets `{}` are added automatically):
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
|
|
|
{
|
|
|
|
|
"bundles": [
|
|
|
|
|
{
|
2021-09-20 21:07:15 +02:00
|
|
|
"name": "Personal",
|
|
|
|
|
"priority": 123
|
2021-09-20 20:59:25 +02:00
|
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
|
],
|
|
|
|
|
"prefix": "C"
|
|
|
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
*This one is what I set as `@Ciblia:matrix.org` which is logged in as `Ciblia`
|
|
|
|
|
on `https://matrix-client.matrix.org` (the address was found from https://matrix.org/.well-known/matrix/client)*
|
|
|
|
|
|
2021-09-20 21:07:15 +02:00
|
|
|
* name: name of the account bundle (kind of tab bar, which can separate personal account from work accounts)
|
|
|
|
|
below the account switcher. Quick account switching can only be done within the same bundle.
|
|
|
|
|
* additionally bundles should be created by long touching the account on the bar and selecting "add to bundle".
|
|
|
|
|
`/devtools` is needed only for priority/sorting and prefix
|
2021-09-20 21:09:25 +02:00
|
|
|
* if there is no bundle, bundle named after the mxid is implied and quick-switching is unavailable.
|
2021-09-20 21:07:15 +02:00
|
|
|
* priority: defines the order of accounts on the account bar.
|
|
|
|
|
* prefix: what will need to be typed to the input bar in FluffyChat for quick account switching. Case-insensitive.

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
6. Start/restart FluffyChat
|
|
|
|
|
7. Type "C message" and the account will be swithed to `@Ciblia:matrix.org`.
|
|
|
|
|
* If C is needed to be said in the room without switching sending account,
|
|
|
|
|
start the message with space e.g. ` C message` and the account switching
|
|
|
|
|
won't happen.

Big thank you to FluffyChat contributors who made this feature and Sorunome
|
|
|
|
|
for initially explaining how to do this so I could attempt to make a more clearer
