+# 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": [
+      {
+        "name": "Ciblia",
+        "priority": 0
+      }
+    ],
+    "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)*
+
+* name: I think it's a local name that will be used in the future for differentiating accounts in FluffyChat, but I am unsure as of time of typing*
+* priority: I have no idea what this is either :sweat_smile:
+* prefix: what will need to be typed to the input bar in FluffyChat for quick account switching
+
+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
+note on how to do it.
