WeeChat quick start guide (english version)
=========================
1. Launch weechat
According to choosed GUI, you have to launch:
- weechat-curses for Curses GUI
- weechat-gtk for Gtk GUI (under development)
- weechat-qt for Qt GUI (not developed)
- weechat-wxwidgets for WxWidgets GUI (not developed)
2. Online help / options
WeeChat has help for all commands, just issue /help
To get help on a command, issue /help command
To set options, use /set option = value
You can use /set option with partial name (display all options
containg letters), or with only a full option name without value
(to see long help for option).
Important note: settings are saved when WeeChat ends (or with "/save"
command). Do NOT edit setup file while WeeChat is running, because WeeChat
may write this file at any time, and it's not possible to reload it.
To change any settings, use "/set" command, WeeChat immediately uses new
settings.
3. Create a server
For example irc.quakenet.org, port 6667:
/server quakenet irc.quakenet.org 6667
(/help server for full command help)
4. Set custom server options
Nicks:
/set quakenet.server_nick1 = "mynick"
/set quakenet.server_nick2 = "mynick2"
/set quakenet.server_nick3 = "mynick3"
Username/realname:
/set quakenet.server_username = "My username"
/set quakenet.server_realname = "My real name"
Auto-connect to server:
/set quakenet.server_autoconnect = on
Auto-join for some channels:
/set quakenet.server_autojoin = "#chan1,#chan2"
Other options:
You can see servers options and values with /set quakenet
To set an option, use /set quakenet.server_option = value
5. Connect to server and auto-join channels:
/connect quakenet
6. Join/part channels
Join a channel:
/join #channel
Part a channel:
/part [quit message]
Part a channel and close buffer:
/close [quit message]
(/close is an alias on /buffer close)
7. Buffer/window management
You can manage buffers with "/buffer" command and windows
with "/window" command.
For example, to split verticaly screen into a small window (1/3 width),
and a large (2/3), use command:
/window splitv 33
8. Key bindings
According to your keyboard and/or your needs, you can rebind any key
with "/key" command.
A useful key is meta-k (alt-k) to find key codes.
For example, to bind meta-y (alt-y) to command "/buffer close":
/key (press meta-k) (press meta-y) /buffer close
You'll have a command line like:
/key meta-y /buffer close
9. Plugins/scripts
On some distros like Debian, plugins are available via a separate package
(like weechat-plugins).
Plugins are automatically loaded when found.
