-[Irssi] is a powerfull command line [IRC] client.
+!!! Autoconnect when you launch
[Irssi]
-How to set up your [IRC] to auto reconnect every time you launch [Irssi].
For this example I will assume you want to connect to [#wlug] on [UnderNet].
+For this example I will assume you want to connect to [#wlug] on [UnderNet].
-# Fire up irssi<br>
-# Irssi defines [IRC] networks as
IRCNet's, so you need to add a IRCnet,
the command to do this is "/IRCNET ADD yourircnet" so in this case "/IRCNET ADD unet"<br>
-# After this
you need to set a server
to connect to, the command to do this is "/SERVER ADD -auto -ircnet unet eu.undernet.org 6667" (sub your IRCnet and server names if not connecting to [UnderNet])
<br
>
-# Now add your channel, "
/CHANNEL
ADD -auto #wlug unet"
<br>
-# Now you want to save this, the command for this is "save" it will write a file "~
/.irssi/config" which I would not recommend editing by hand.<br
>
-# If you have more than 1 channel and you want them to always appear in the same windows in [Irssi] every time you run the program then you will want to "/layout save"<br>
-# Exit [Irssi] and reopen it, it should auto connect to your server then join your channel(s)
+# Add an
IRCNet entry for
the network
you want
to connect:
<tt
>/IRCNET
ADD Undernet
</tt
>
-This has now set up
[Irssi] to auto connect to eu.undernet.org and join
[#wlug]. If you want to connect to another [IRC] network then simpley
add another IRCnet and
server/
channel connections
.
+#
[Irssi] needs
to know the addresses for servers on this network, so add some: <tt>/SERVER ADD -
auto -ircnet Undernet eu.undernet.org 6667</tt>
+
+ Notice <tt>-auto</tt>, which means to automatically
connect to this server on startup.
+
+# Now set up some channel preferences: <tt>/CHANNEL ADD -auto #wlug Undernet</tt>
+
+ Again notice <tt>-auto</tt>, which means to automatically join this channel on connect.
+
+# Now make [Irssi] remember this information beyond closing it: <tt>/SAVE</tt>
+
+ Your settings are stored in <tt>~/.irssi/config</tt>. Only edit this manually if you know what you're doing.
+
+# If you have more than 1 channel and you want them to always appear in the same windows every time you run [Irssi] then you will want to <tt>/LAYOUT SAVE</tt>
+
+# Exit [Irssi] and reopen it, it should autoconnect to <tt>
eu.undernet.org</tt>
and autojoin
[#wlug]. If you want to connect to another [IRC] network then simply
add more IRC network,
server and
channel settings
.
Pretty much this whole page can be found by reading the [Irssi] [FAQ] located at [www.irssi.org | http://www.irssi.org/?page=docs&doc=startup-HOWTO]
-Some
more helpfull things
+!!! Various settings
+
+!! Queries
+
+<tt>/SET autocreate_own_query ON</tt>:
+
+ Should new query window be created when you send message to someone (with <tt>/msg</tt>).
+
+<tt>/SET autocreate_query_level MSGS</tt>:
+
+ New query window should be created when receiving messages with this level.
+ MSGS, DCCMSGS and NOTICES levels work currently.
+ You can disable this with <tt>/SET -clear autocrate_query_level</tt>.
+
+<tt>/SET autoclose_query </tt>:
+
+ Query windows can be automatically closed after certain time of inactivity.
+ Queries with unread messages aren't closed and active window is neither never closed.
+ The value is given in seconds.
+
+!! Windows
+
+<tt>/SET use_msgs_window OFF</tt>:
+
+ Create messages window at startup. All private messages go to this window.
+ This only makes sense if you've disabled automatic query windows.
+ Message window can also be created manually with <tt>/WINDOW LEVEL MSGS</tt>, <tt>/WINDOW NAME (msgs)</tt>.
+
+<tt>/SET use_status_window ON</tt>:
+
+ Create status window at startup. All messages that don't really have better
+ place go here, like all <tt>/WHOIS</tt> replies etc. Status window can also be
+ created manually with <tt>/WINDOW LEVEL ALL -MSGS</tt>, <tt>/WINDOW NAME (status)</tt>.
+
+<tt>/SET autocreate_windows ON</tt>:
+
+ Should we create new windows for new window items or just place everything in one window</tt>:
+
+<tt>/SET autoclose_windows ON</tt>:
+ Should window be automatically closed when the last item in them is removed (ie. <tt>/PART</tt>, <tt>/UNQUERY</tt>).
+
+<tt>/SET reuse_unused_windows OFF</tt>:
+
+ When finding where to place new window item (channel, query) [Irssi] first
+ tries to use already existing empty windows. If this is set ON, new window
+ will always be created for all window items. This setting is ignored if
+ <tt>autoclose_windows</tt> is set ON.
+
+<tt>/SET window_auto_change OFF</tt>:
+
+ Should Irssi automatically change to automatically created windows -
+ usually queries when someone sends you a message. To prevent accidentally
+ sending text meant to some other channel/nick, [Irssi] clears the input
+ buffer when changing the window. The text is still in scrollback buffer,
+ you can get it back with pressing arrow up key.
+
+<tt>/SET print_active_channel OFF</tt>:
+
+ When you keep
more than one channel in same window, Irssi prints the
+ messages coming to active channel as <tt><nick> text</tt> and other channels as
+ <tt><nick:channel> text</tt>. If this setting is set ON, the messages to active
+ channels are also printed in the latter way.
+
+<tt>/SET window_history OFF</tt>:
+
+ Should command history be kept separate for each window.
+
+!! User information
+
+<tt>/SET nick</tt>:
+
