x1101 thanks for the tip, Some of the things seem to be working. Some shortcuts don’t seem to work though, eg alt+c does seem to be working when used on conversation windows.

to use finch under screen simply take the ‘atl’ portion of the shortcut and substitute ‘esc’ and everything should work out just fine (at least it has for me)

I don’t have windows around to test.
You can probably follow this thread http://www.pidgin.im/pipermail/devel/2007-August/002560.html but it’s a bit old too.

Hi almubarmij,
finch isn’t a separate fnstall. It comes with pidgin. In fact it is a part of pidgin. So, if you have pidgin installed you have finch too. Open up your terminal and type finch. That should get you started.
