A: They force ANSI colors even if terminal doesn't support them. By
-default, irssi uses colors only if terminfo/termcap so says. The correct
-way to fix this would be to change your TERM environment to a value where
-colors work, like xterm-color or color_xterm (eg. TERM=xterm-color
-irssi). If this doesn't help, then use the evil way of /SET
-term_force_colors ON.
A: / /text
/SET realname and reconnect with /RECONNECT
-or /SERVER?A: Irssi is trying to be too smart. This will be fixed in future, but for
-now you should use /DISCONNECT and /CONNECT.
A: Two ways. The "good way" to do it is with /DISCONNECT.
-Check the server tags first with /SERVER without giving it any
-parameters, reconnections are those that have tag starting with "recon"
-text. So most probably you're going to do /DISCONNECT recon-1.
-The other way is to remove all the reconnections with
-/RMRECONNS, easier but may remove some connections you actually
-wanted to reconnect (if you used multiple servers..).
A: /FORMAT timestamp {timestamp %%H:%%M:%%S} - and remember
-to add the trailing space :)
A: Possibly a bug in irssi, or ircd you're using does something that -irssi didn't really notice. The new code should make this happen far less -often than before, but one known reason for this is when irssi doesn't -notice that you were unable to join some channel. Currently however I don't -know of any such events irssi doesn't know about.
- -Anyway, if this does happen, do /RAWLOG SAVE ~/rawlog soon
-after joining to channel, and either try to figure out yourself why irssi
-didn't get reply to WHO request, or send the whole log to cras@irssi.org. Note
-that the rawlog is by default only 200 lines and it may not be enough to
-show all needed information, so you might want to do /SET rawlog_lines
-1000 or so.
MODE +b still works fine though.
A: Read -http://irssi.org/?page=about
- - -A: That's evil and you shouldn't do it. If you get kicked, you should stay -out, at least until the channel forgot you existed :) Most channels I've -joined just ban you if you autorejoin after kick. If you're joined to -channels who kick people for fun, try changing channels or something.
- -Anyway, if you REALLY want to do that, and you understand that you're doing
-evilness, you can use the autorejoin.pl script that comes with irssi. You'll
-still need to specify the channels you wish to rejoin with /SET
-autorejoin_channels #chan1 #chan2 ...
A: That's even worse than autorejoin. Who could possibly care every time
-you come and go? Many channels will kick you for using this, and I for example
-have added several ignores so I'd never need to see these messages. Learn to
-use /AWAY command properly and tell its existence to people
-who don't know about it. /WII yournick shows your away reason
-much better for people who actually want to know if you're there or not.
A: The setting is /SET join_auto_chans_on_invite - it's not the same -as regular autojoin-on-invite, which irssi doesn't even have. The only -channels that are joined on invite, are the ones you've added to config -with /CHANNEL ADD -auto. This is very useful with +i channels when you -need to first send an invite request to bot, or if you get accidentally -kicked from channel, the kicker can invite you back immediately.
- -I don't see any bad side effects with this feature, so it's ON by -default. I guess someone could start kicking/inviting you all the time -but server connection shouldn't drop because of that, and you shouldn't -join channels whose operators are that evil.
- - -A: Make sure your terminal supports UTF-8 (for example, xterm -u8).
-If you use screen, you may have to do screen -U. And in Irssi do
-/SET term_charset utf-8. (for 0.8.9 and older: /SET term_type utf-8)
A: Maybe. Detach code already is there, attach is just missing :) But I -don't have much interest in coding it, -screen and -dtach can be used to do it just fine.
- - -A: Put them into ~/.irssi/scripts/autorun/ directory. Or
-better would be if you placed them in ~/.irssi/scripts/ and
-created symlinks to autorun directory (eg. cd
-~/.irssi/scripts/autorun/ ; ln -s ../script.pl .)
A: Put them into ~/.irssi/startup file, each command on its
-own line. The preceding slash (/) is not necessary.
A: /TOPIC <tab>
- -A: You can disable the status window, or do /WINDOW LEVEL
--CRAP in it which would also make several other messages show up in
-active window. You can also use a
-script.
A: Modify the window-line in statusbar section in config file to
-window = "{sb $winref:$tag/$T{sbmode $M}}";
