### zsh completion for irssi options.
you can download/see it [here][1]
the extensions in included in default zsh distribution since 2002-03-07 (should be version 4.0.1)
### hide aliases
sometimes i found it quite useful to have a much more quiet irssi :)
/alias hideadd eval set activity_hide_targets $activity_hide_targets $-
/alias hideclear set -c activity_hide_targets
/alias hidelevels.clear set -c activity_hide_level
/alias hidelevels.set set activity_hide_level parts joins quits nicks modes
/alias hidelist set activity_hide_targets
/alias hideset set activity_hide_targets $-
i have replaced the aliases with a simple script. see [hide.pl][2] ([source][3])
### mIRC-like flashing with putty
to get notified off activities, while im working, i use the following setup:
#### irssi
/set beep_msg_level MSGS HILIGHT DCCMSGS
#### screen
Audible bell (switch Ctrl+a Ctrl+g)
#### putty
- no bell and steady on bell
### right aligned nicks
/format own_msg {ownmsgnick $2 {ownnick $[-9]0}}$1
/format own_msg_channel {ownmsgnick $3 {ownnick $[-9]0}{msgchannel $1}}$2
/format pubmsg_me {pubmsgmenick $2 {menick $[-9]0}}$1
/format pubmsg_me_channel {pubmsgmenick $3 {menick $[-9]0}{msgchannel $1}}$2
/format pubmsg_hilight {pubmsghinick $0 $3 $[-9]1}$2
/format pubmsg_hilight_channel {pubmsghinick $0 $4 $[-9]1{msgchannel $2}}$3
/format pubmsg {pubmsgnick $2 {pubnick $[-9]0}}$1
/format pubmsg_channel {pubmsgnick $3 {pubnick $[-9]0}{msgchannel $1}}$2
### uptime alias
put it in your .irssi/config in the alias section as one line:
``UPTIME = "eval exec - expr `date +%s` - \$F | awk '{print "Irssi uptime: "int(\\$1/3600/24)"d "int(\\$1/3600%24)"h "int(\\$1/60%60)"m "int(\\$1%60)"s" }'";``
### ssh/telnet alias
/alias TELNET window new hidden;window name telnet;exec -name telnet -nosh -interactive -window telnet $-
/alias SSH window new hidden;window name ssh;exec -name ssh -nosh -interactive -window ssh $-
happy mudding, telnetting :)
### icq client in irssi?:)
`/alias MICQ window new hidden;window name micq;exec -name micq -nosh -interactive -window micq $-`
but you could also try [BitlBee][5]
### news reader in irssi?:)
no problem:
`/alias NNTP window new hide;window name news;exec printf 'article <$0> quit '|nc news.helsinki.fi nntp|tr -d ' '`
hmm now there is a script for this purpose too. checkout [news.pl][6] ([source][7])
### autocorrect feature in irssi?
/completion -auto .) :)
/completion -auto anywya anyway
/completion sio http://scripts.irssi.org/
Write `sio` press `<tab>` key and it will be replaced with `http://irssi.org/scripts/`.
### Where are my completions/replaces gone?
With latest irssi cvs the format changed a bit. cras merged replaces and completions
completions = {
wid = { value = ""; };
sid = { value = "http://scripts.irssi.de/"; };
ios = { value = "http://irssi.org/scripts/"; };
":9" = { value = ":)"; auto = "yes"; };
};
And there is now a command to maintain the completions:
/completion [-auto] <key> <value>
/completion -delete <key>
To get the replaces like behavior add the completion with `-auto` to the commandline.
### `/ame` & `/asay`
/alias AME foreach channel /me $-; foreach query /me $T $-
/alias ASAY foreach channel /eval msg $$C $$-; foreach query /eval msg $$T $$-
for latest CVS you could use (cvs from 2002-10-14.18:24 or later)
/alias AME foreach channel ${k}me $-; foreach query ${k}me $-
/alias ASAY foreach channel ${k}msg * $-; foreach query ${k}msg * $-
the alias is command char independed now.
### Automatically updating the changed date in vim.
<Geert> For editing Irssi scripts with vim auto-change timestamp on closing
<Geert> autocmd BufWrite *.pl %s/changed => '.*/="changed => '" . strftime("%c") . "',"/e
<Geert> on the .vimrc
### How to dump irssi perl variables for debugging?
`/alias dump script exec use Data::Dumper \; print Data::Dumper->new([\$0-])->Dump`
### how to send messages without showing up in scrollback/log?
I use `/alias QMSG quote privmsg $0 :$1-` for this purpose. it has the advantage over `/^msg` that it works with command char `^`.
if you want to auth against some service like Q/Chanserv you now can use:
`/network add -autosendcmd "qmsg Q@CServe.quakenet.org AUTH nick pass" Quakenet`
### How to protect irssi from being closed accidently?
`/alias quit echo dont do this at home`
if you like to close irssi for some reason use `//quit`.
### my anti annoyance filters ;)
/ignore -channels #chan1,#chan2,#chan3 * JOINS PARTS QUITS NICKS
/ignore -channels #chan1,#chan2,#chan3 -regexp -pattern (away|gone|back|playin|weg|wech|returned) * ACTIONS
Disclaimer: of course you will miss some stuff with this ignores. but for me it makes it more readable.
Another way to get rid of some message levels is `/scrollback levelclear`
I use: `/sb levelclear -levels JOINS,PARTS,QUITS,NICKS,CLIENTCRAP,CRAP,MODE,TOPICS,KICKS`.
### How to update all irssi scripts at once?
Use `git pull`
### How to use different formats for the statusbar clock and the timestamp in scrollback?
#### to set the scrollback format use:
/format timestamp {timestamp %%H:%%M:%%S }
(default: `/format timestamp {timestamp $Z}`)
#### to set the statusbar clock format use:
/set timestamp_format %H:%M:00
### How to toggle between 2 windows?
/bind meta-x command window last
now pressing meta/alt+x toggles between 2 windows.
### The fastest way to close a query is...?
just type `/q` (without any parameters) in the query window.
### How to show the prompt in the active split window?
first make it only visible in the active window with
/statusbar prompt visible active
Then make it a window-statusbar
/statusbar prompt type window
### How can i change the timezone of the clock in irssi?
/script exec $ENV{'TZ'}='<nameofyourtimezone>'
e.g. `/script exec $ENV{'TZ'}='UTC'` to run the clock in irssi on UTC while your system is maybe using CET.
### How can i add all my open channels to the irssi channel list?
/alias ADDALLCHANNELS script exec foreach my $$channel (Irssi::channels()) { Irssi::command("channel add -auto $$channel->{name} $$channel->{server}->{tag} $$channel->{key}") }
this adds all your channels with auto join enabled. if you just wanna add them remove the `-auto`.
thanks to Valentin Batz (senneth) for the alias.
### how can i disable snotes in the statuswindow again?
/window level ALL -snotes
/window new hidden
/window level +snotes
### How can i force irssi to redraw the whole screen?
you can use `/redraw`. on most terminals pressing `ctrl+l` (in screen `ctrl+a l`) should do the same.
of course you can bind it in irssi aswell: `/bind ^L redraw`.
