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. - -Q: How do I easily write text to channel that starts with '/' character? -A: / /text - -Q: Why doesn't irssi update my realname (or whatever) after I change it with - /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. - -Q: I connected to some server which isn't responding but now irssi tries to - connect back to it all the time! How can I stop it? -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..). - -Q: How do I add seconds to timestamp? -A: /FORMAT timestamp {timestamp %%H:%%M:%%S} - and remember to add the - trailing space :) - -Q: Why does irssi say "Irssi: Channel not fully synchronized yet, try again - after a while" when I try to use /BAN etc? -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. - -Q: Where's the GUI version? -A: Read http://irssi.org/?page=about - -Q: How do I autorejoin channels after being kicked? -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 ... - -Q: How do I announce that I'm away/back in all channels I've joined? Or how - do I change my nick when setting myself away/back? -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 it's - 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. - - You can script these behaviours if you really wish to of course. But - currently there's no public scripts for either of these, and the only - way I'm going to add such to irssi.org is if the script contains a - setting to specify which specific channels the announcement is sent. - -Q: Why does irssi autojoin on invite by default? -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. - -Q: How to make UTF-8 support work with irssi? -A: xterm -u8, screen -U, /SET term_type utf-8 - -Q: Will there be /DETACH-like feature? -A: Maybe. Detach code already is there, attach is just missing :) But - I don't have much interest in coding it, and screen works just fine so - why bother? - -Q: How do I run scripts automatically at startup? -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 .) -- 2.24.0
