have come to the point where I don't understand the config of my
RC client anymore. IRC should really be simpler. And I have detected
defunct sic[0] biary in my ~/bin that's been a leftover from long
go, so I thought about using a more minimal IRC client.
have come across irc.c by c9x[1] and I really like it. I have spent
oday's little time to hack in topic support and nick changing
upport. The only thing that's left on this account is the 'This nick
s reserved' messages. But I will see how this will work in practise.
he code size is small and there are no shenanigans added. Also it is
mall enough to read through it and add some missing features.
he official feature list is:
infinite scrollback;
automatic reconnection;
utf8 support (inputting is still to do);
line editing (emacs like keybindings);
activity markers;
logging;
terminal resizes (inside an xterm).
added:
ell if any more of this is missing one can always send raw commands
o the server. If this becomes more useful I'll put it up on the repo
ection here.
o long!
