I’m trying to switch from Konversation to irssi. Let’s see how that goes. Any irssiers out there who can recommend specific settings or scripts? I already got myself trackbar.pl
and nickcolor.pl
as super-essentials. Also trying window_switcher.pl
. Somehow my custom binds for Ctrl+1/2/3/etc.
to switch to window 1/2/3/etc. doesn’t do anything: { key = "^1"; id = "change_window"; data = "1"; }
(I cannot use the default with Alt
as this is handled by my window manager). Currently, I’m just cycling with Ctrl+N/P
. Other things to solve in the near future:
- better, more colorful and compact theme (just removed clock from statusbar so far)
- getting bell/urgency hints working on arriving messages
- nicer tabs in status bar, maybe even just channel names and no indexes
- decluster status bar with user and channel modes (I never cared about those in the last decade)
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh, for some reason I always thought that WeeChat was a graphical client. I will try out WeeChat then, thanks for bringing it to my attention.
weechat has very nice remote frontend ability. i run mine headless with glowing bear there are also iOS and Android frontends
@xuu@txt.sour.is At least for now I don’t need remote frontends, but who knows what the future brings. :-)
Is there any setting or script to render a line in the chat buffer to indicate the last read messages? I fail to find anything. For irssi it would be the trackbar.pl
script. Also, the beep settings seem not to work for what ever reason. It’s just not sending a BEL to my terminal. Hm. :-(
Alright, grepping for line
in ~/.weechat made me realize to /set weechat.look.read_marker_always_show on
. I also added a new trigger that matches everthings and then beeps (I should probably exclude join and part events). I didn’t realize the default beep
trigger is only for highlights and private messages.
