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.
|
|
