Getting started

1. Installation — prebuilt binaries for Linux, macOS, Windows; Go install; build from source.
2. Setup — extracting your xoxc token and d cookie, adding a workspace.
3. Configuration — config.toml, custom themes, XDG paths, per-workspace settings.

Using slk

• Features — full feature breakdown (messaging, compose, images, threads, reactions, channels, notifications, status, connectivity, customization).
• Keybindings — every key, every mode.
• Terminal Compatibility — which terminals do what (kitty graphics, sixel, half-block, OSC 52).
• Clipboard and OSC 52 — getting copy/paste working under tmux, screen, and stricter terminals.

Reference

• Tradeoffs and Non-Goals — what's on the roadmap, what's out of scope, known caveats.
• Architecture — service-oriented layout, data layer, render pipeline.
