| === Description ===
| |
| irssi is a small command line IRC client based on ncurses. It's a great thing to use when you SSH into a server, or just simply for your main IRC client.
| |
| | |
| === Installation ===
| |
| The install of irssi is pretty straight forward. There are not many USE flags, but one that is worth looking at is the {{c|SSL}} flag. This enables you to use SSL when connecting to servers.
| |
| {{console|body=
| |
| ###i## echo "net-irc/irssi ssl" >> /etc/portage/package.use
| |
| ###i## emerge irssi
| |
| }}
| |
| === Using irssi ===
| |
| Using irssi initially can be a little intimidating if you're not used to command line programs. To first start irssi, you just simply run:
| |
| {{console|body=
| |
| $ ##i##irssi
| |
| }}
| |
| There are flags you can pass to the command line while starting irssi, such as:
| |
| {{console|body=
| |
| $ ##i##irssi -n mynick -c irc.freenode.org
| |
| }}
| |
| This would connect you to Freenode with the nick 'mynick'. Or alternatively you can just run the {{c|irssi}} command and connect via SSL if you need to:
| |
| {{file|body=
| |
| /connect -ssl irc.freenode.org
| |
| }}
| |
| This will automatically connect you over port 6697.
| |
| | |
| When you have connected to the server of your choice, you can join a channel simply by:
| |
| {{file|body=
| |
| /j #funtoo
| |
| }}
| |
| If you want to leave any channel you've entered you can use the {{c|part}} command:
| |
| {{file|body=
| |
| /part #funtoo reasons...
| |
| }}
| |
| There are a few ways of navigating through your channels, you can use {{c|alt+<nowiki>{1-9}{q-p}</nowiki>}}, or alternatively you can use the {{c|window}} command that is in irssi:
| |
| {{file|body=
| |
| /window 1
| |
| /window 2
| |
| /window 3
| |
| }}
| |
| For as many channels you are apart of.
| |
| | |
| When you're ready to leave, you can simply type in:
| |
| {{file|body=
| |
| /exit
| |
| }}
| |
| Which will close out connections to the IRC networks you've joined, and take you back to your console window.
| |
| === Themes and scripts ===
| |
| ==== Scripts ====
| |
| There are a few things you can do to make irssi look a little bit better and add some cool features. There are a few plugins that are pretty useful, such as {{c|fnotify.pl}} which is a script that utilizes {{f|libnotify}} to send you popup notifications for when your nick is pinged or you are sent a private message.
| |
| | |
| {{file|name=fnotify.pl|lang=perl|desc=fnotify.pl|body=
| |
| # todo: grap topic changes
| |
| | |
| use strict;
| |
| use vars qw($VERSION %IRSSI);
| |
| | |
| use Irssi;
| |
| $VERSION = '0.0.3';
| |
| %IRSSI = (
| |
| authors => 'Thorsten Leemhuis',

| # Private message parsing
| |
| #--------------------------------------------------------------------
| |
| | |
| sub priv_msg {
| |
| my ($server,$msg,$nick,$address,$target) = @_;
| |
| filewrite($nick." " .$msg );
| |
| }
| |
| | |
| #--------------------------------------------------------------------
| |
| # Printing hilight's
| |
| #--------------------------------------------------------------------
| |
| | |
| sub hilight {
| |
| my ($dest, $text, $stripped) = @_;
| |
| if ($dest->{level} & MSGLEVEL_HILIGHT) {
| |
| filewrite($dest->{target}. " " .$stripped );
| |
| }
| |
| }
| |
| | |
| #--------------------------------------------------------------------
| |
| # The actual printing
| |
| #--------------------------------------------------------------------
| |
| | |
| sub filewrite {
| |
| my ($text) = @_;
| |
| # FIXME: there is probably a better way to get the irssi-dir...
| |
| open(FILE,">>$ENV{HOME}/.irssi/fnotify");
| |
| print FILE $text . "\n";
| |
| close (FILE);
| |
| }
| |
| | |
| Irssi::signal_add_last("message private", "priv_msg");
| |
| Irssi::signal_add_last("print text", "hilight");
| |
| | |
| #- end
| |
| }}
| |
| Another very useful script is for colored nicks, to better tell people apart. Which can be found at [http://scripts.irssi.org irssi scripts] called {{f|nickcolor.pl}}.
| |
| | |
| When you have the scripts you would like you would put them into {{f|~/.irssi/scripts}} and set a link to {{f|~/.irssi/scripts/autorun}}.
| |
| {{console|body=
| |
| $ ##i##wget -O ~/.irssi/scripts/nickcolor.pl http://scripts.irssi.org/scripts/nickcolor.pl
| |
| $ ##i##cd ~/.irssi/scripts/autorun
| |
| $ ##i##ln -s ~/.irssi/scripts/nickcolor.pl .
| |
| $ ##i##ln -s ~/.irssi/scripts/fnotify.pl .
| |
| }}
| |
| You can do this for as many scripts as you've chosen to use. They will automatically load when you start irssi. You can also manually load scripts:
| |
| {{file|body=
| |
| /load ~/.irssi/scripts/fnotify.pl
| |
| Irssi: Loaded script fnotify
| |
| }}
| |
| Whichever works best for you is what you should do.
| |
| ==== Themes ====
| |
| You can choose from many themes on the [http://irssi.org/themes irssi themes] page if you don't like the default look of it. Once you've chosen the them you like, you can simply put it in your {{f|~/.irssi/}} directory and when you run just run:
| |
| {{file|body=
| |
| /set theme mycooltheme
| |
| }}
| |
| And there you have it, the theme you have chosen is now there.
| |
| === Conclusion ===
| |
| irssi is a great IRC client, and really helpful if you spend a lot of time in a terminal emulator or on a server.
