Question: Getting unread messages using matrix-commander

[rasmus-kirk]

Does anyone use matrix-commander, if so, how? Ideally this would be for all rooms, not just a single room

Hi @KarukSophia

You can do that. Have a look at the options --listen and specifically --listen once. once gets unread messages from all rooms.

All right, but what about getting the number of unread messages, without changing said number? The --listen action reads the messages so matrix-commander --listen once | wc -l won't do

Getting the number (count) of unread messages would be an enhancement. Not sure if matrix-nio has an API for that.
