irssi scripts
Sunday Jun 2 10:53:15 2013
Many people publish posts on the web talking about which irssi scri
they cannot live without. Well, after adding different scripts to s
different needs, I'm gonna do the same but not on the web but on
gopher space :)
First, here comes the list:
odin (chals) % ls .irssi/scripts/autorun/ | cat
mouse.pl
nickcolor.pl
nicklist.pl
openurl.pl
trackbar.pl
usercount.pl
The mouse.pl script allows me to use the mouse to easily scroll up
down the log. It is a nice substitute for the PageUp and PageDown k
The nickcolor.pl needs very little explanation. It colours every ni
taking part in a conversation to easily distinguish who's talking.
The nicklist.pl is another classic script. It prints a list of all
users in a channel. In order to activate it you have to use the com
(No need to say you must be running irssi inside a screen session)
/nicklist screen
The openurl.pl is awesome. It assists you to open the links that pe
paste in a channel. It is a bit difficult to explain how it works i
you've never seen it in action. I'll try my best.
When someone pastes an url in a channel. The script will print some
like this before the url:
21:30 >> OpenURL 6
(The number depends on the number or urls pasted in a day, the firs
is number 1, the second one is number 2 and so on...)
All you have to do to follow the link is using the command openurl
the number, in this case:
/openurl 6
It opens it in your preferred web browser, in my case it is w3m
Pretty cool, isn't it? But wait, there is more!
The trackbar.pl is so simple but so impressively useful that I real
couldn't do without it. It simply draws a line like this
------------------------------------------------------------------
everytime you switch to another channel so when you come back it is
easier for you to identify where you last left the conversation.
And last but not least, the usercount.pl. It adds a count of how ma
users, ops, half ops and voiced users are in each channel. Like thi
[21 nicks (@1 %0 +0 20)]
Launching it is a bit more difficult to remember (in comparison wit
"/nicklist screen"):
/statusbar window add usercount
There are dozens of scripts, so try the ones you find more useful a
enjoy.
I am perfectly aware that other irc clients, such as weechat, have
most of these things I've been talking about as defaults. But well,
like to use a lot of software. I enjoy using weechat + tmux as much
as I enjoy using screen + irssi. Why choose if you can use them all
;)
