My First Brush With Tilde.Team

The official documentation got me painlessly registered and loged into the tilde.team machine. At login I was greeted with a slick login message, and a bar at the bottom that seemed to imply that weechat and a mail client were running in different tabs, but since I had no experience with byobu or with tmux, I hadn't the faintest idea how to switch to them My terminal emulator was not set up to send F-keys through SSH (I'm not even sure if that's possible), so I couldn't use byobu's F-key shortcuts.

In case anyone else finds themselves in a similar situation here's the method that I found to switch tabs:
'< ctrl > a < N >'
where '< N >' is the number of the tab you'd like to switch to.

Happy fiddling!

Update: The terminal emulator I was using was qterminal. I connected to tilde.team with the (Sakura)[https://launchpad.net/sakura] terminal emulator and the F keys started working. I'm sure there's something I could have configured in qterminal's settings to make it work.
