Weechat is an [[resources:software:irc]] client.


======= Configuration Snippets =======


When making changes to your Weechat configuration, **don't forget to <code>/save</code>** or all your changes will disappear next time you run Weechat.

Here are some configuration snippets that may be useful to you:


====== Buffer and Nick List ======


The following will help out with a far more usable buffer and nick list:

<code>/script install buffers.pl colorize_nicks.py
/set buffers.look.hide_merged_buffers all
/set weechat.bar.buffers.items buffers
/key bind meta-n /bar toggle nicklist
</code>

====== Using Solarized ======


The following will make Weechat a lot easier to read with the Solarized theme:

<code>/set weechat.bar.status.color_bg 0
/set weechat.bar.title.color_bg 0
/set weechat.color.chat_nick_colors 1,2,3,4,5,6
/set buffers.color.hotlist_message_fg 15
/set weechat.bar.buffers.position top
</code>

====== Visual Tweaks ======


<code>/set weechat.look.prefix_same_nick "⤷"
/set weechat.look.prefix_error "⚠"
/set weechat.look.prefix_network "ℹ "
/set weechat.look.prefix_action "⚡"
/set weechat.look.bar_more_down "▼▼"
/set weechat.look.bar_more_left "◀◀"
/set weechat.look.bar_more_right "▶▶"
/set weechat.look.bar_more_up "▲▲"
/set weechat.look.prefix_suffix "╡"
</code>

====== Cut Out Useless Notifications ======


Only on message, not join/part:

<code> /set weechat.look.buffer_notify_default message
</code>
Hide joins/parts where they're not useful:

<code>/set irc.look.smart_filter on
/filter add irc_smart * irc_smart_filter *
</code>
If you're in big channels, only notify on highlight:

<code>/set weechat.notify.irc.oftc.#debian-devel highlight
</code>

====== ZNC Specific ======


Allow /znc:

<code>/alias add znc /quote znc
</code>
Covert ZNC *status PRIVMSGs to NOTICEs:

<code>/script install zncnotice.py
</code>

====== Bitlbee Specific ======


[[:bitlbee]] is an IRC gateway for a variety of other protocols.

Highlight on your Twitter handle, ignore otherwise:

<code>/script install buffer_autoset.py
/set weechat.notify.irc.bitlbee.#twitter_iainlearmonth highlight
/buffer_autoset add irc.bitlbee.#twitter_iainlearmonth highlight_regex iainlearmonth
</code>
I don't care about Mozilla's podcast:

<code>/buffer_autoset add irc.bitlbee.#twitter_iainlearmonth no_highlight_nicks_add mozilla
</code>
