+# Introduction to Chat Mode
+
+Enter **Chat Mode** to open the messages buffers.
+
+When the _chat mode_ is disabled, the current conversation is hidden, and moving
+in the roster won't open every buffers and won't set the "unread" messages as
+read. (As a consequence, it will be much faster...)
+
+The _chat mode_ allows jumping between the few buddies with whom you are
+conversing with the `/roster alternate` command described in the manual page
+(and online help), without having to manually scroll back and forth.
+
+Use `Enter` to enable _chat mode_ and `Escape` to disable it. _Please note that
+there is a delay after pressing `Esc`, so you have to wait a little before
+pressing another key_.
