<![CDATA[MU Client Suggestions?]]>Hi! I’m trying to recommend a MU* client to my friend who is low vision but doesn’t use a screenreader. Since I have no experience with any clients other than VI specific ones, I’m hoping for a few suggestions on which are the most popular and/or user friendly. One with easy config options would probably be good.

I used to use SimpleMU, then Mushclient, then Mudlet, then Potato, and now BeipMU.

BeipMU (not counting being currently supported) outclasses all of the other clients I have used.

Yes. Spellchecks as you type.

That’s one of the things I’ve sorely missed from the SimpleMU days.

AFAIK MUSHclient, Potato, and Beip all have spellcheck. I think they’re the more popular clients in recent years.

I don’t have a Mac, so my knowledge of Atlantis is non-existent.

Atlantis has live/inline spell check.

Does it have spellcheck?

It does. I forget off hand how to set it up but it does.

Options -> Preferences ->

alt text

On the right side, under ‘Spell Check.’ Check the box, select your language. I believe it relies on your installed Windows dictionaries, but I can’t confirm - I don’t use it.

@Solstice How does it compare to Potato*? Positive and negative, aware that Potato hasn’t had an update since 2018.

I use the Events in Potato pretty regularly.

Anything you can do in Potato, you can do in Beip… and usually do it better. Beip’s spawns are far superior, in my humble opinion.

ETA this screengrab if it’s helpful and to clarify:

For example, the default input window stays at one line and I want it BIGGER. But I can find no way of maintaining the desired dimensions.

Part of it is just the versatility of what you can do with triggers (which I’m still mediocre at, but there’s a LOT a user who gets into can do) and the similarity to SimpleMU in some surface-y ways (I am old and it’s comforting), but it’s mostly the level of support that Bennet provides.

I was deeply entrenched in MUSHClient, and just downloaded it on a lark, not intending to like it.

Yeah, uh. I wouldn’t recommend anything else at this point.
