== Some Other Handy Commands == | |||
To join the channel, #intersocs, type | |||
/j #intersocs | |||
To leave the channel, #intersocs, without entirely quitting chat, type | |||
/part #intersocs | |||
To close a window you're not using anymore, type | |||
/wc | |||
To find out who someone is, for example, haus, type | |||
/whois haus | |||
To see the list of all the channels on the network, type | |||
/list | |||
Or if you're looking for a channel but can't remember the exact name, but you know it contains "inter", type | |||
/list *inter* | |||
Wanna see if someone mentions you (or something you're interested in, eg: helpdesk), type | |||
/hilight helpdesk | |||
Now whenever helpdesk is mentioned it'll highlight you | |||
Say you're going to a lecture, but you don't want to have to scroll back up and see if someone hilighted you when you weren't looking, you set irssi to /away with a message, to do this type | |||
/away gone to my lecture, back soon. | |||
When you come back type just /away and you'll see any hilights you might've picked up between you going and coming back. | |||
If you're lazy (like me), you can find loads of uses for the /alias command. | |||
Example: | |||
I like having the same away message all the time, and it's a bit long, so I made it into an /alias command by typing | |||
/alias awaymsg /away haus is off in the real world if you need to talk to him you can reach him on <phone_num> | |||
Now instead of typing the away message out everytime I can just type /awaymsg instead. | |||
It's also really handy for typos, like when I'm typing /me sometimes i end up typing /mw and then irssi tells me it's not a command, which can get really annoying. To fix it just type: | |||
/alias mw /me | |||
Now when you typo it doesn't matter \o/ | |||
