Make old Sessions readable with gomuks
- Export your session keys from your existing Element client, give a good password and remember it
- Copy the keys file to some location where gomuks can access them. Keep in mind that the're encryption keys - handle them responsibly, delete them with
shredafter use. - Import them into gomuks with the
/import <filename>command (to be entered into the message field - like in the old IRC times) You will be asked for the password. - Quit gomuks with the
/clearcachecommand - Start gomuks again
Running gomuks inside screen over ssh
- Mouse support needs to be disabled, as it won't work and flood you text inputs with escape sequences (it worked pretty well without screen for me)
- Something xterm-based needs to be used for
$TERMto handle Ctrl-Up and Ctrl-Down correctly
vi screen-gomuks.ti tic screen-gomuks.ti TERM=screen-gomuks gomuks
- screen-gomuks.ti
screen-gomuks, use=screen.xterm-256color, kmous@,
Credits: Actually, the terminfo part was suggested by ChatGPT. However, regarding the Ctrl-Up Ctrl-Down part, it was impressive good on pretending to be an IT expert chatting with some other (i.e. me), but did not come up with a working solution.
