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)
