Before we set up the app we need to go too weechat on the terminal and type in: | |||
/relay add weechat 1337 (choose your own port) | |||

== Triggers == | |||
=== Spell Checker | Triggers are the swiss army knife of weechat. They can replace a '''lot''' of scripts, and we're still finding things to turn into trigger | ||
=== Turn any line with "nsfw" in it bright red === | |||
/trigger addreplace nsfw modifier weechat_print "${tg_notify} && ${tg_message_nocolor} =~ .*nsfw.*" "/(.*)/${tg_prefix}\t${color:red}!NSFW! ${tg_message}" | |||
=== Make urls underlined and blue === | |||
/trigger addreplace url_color modifier "weechat_print" "${tg_tags} !~ irc_quit" ";[a-z]+://\S+;${color:32}${color:underline}${re:0}${color:-underline}${color:reset};" "" | |||
===Strip items such as time from screen on smaller screens === | |||
/trigger addreplace resize_small_timestamp signal signal_sigwinch "${info:term_width} < 200" "" "/set weechat.look.buffer_time_format \"\"" | |||
===add items such as time from screen on bigger screens === | |||
/trigger addreplace resize_big_timestamp signal signal_sigwinch "${info:term_width} >=200" "" "/set weechat.look.buffer_time_format %H:%M:%S " | |||
===Redact messages from specific users=== | |||
Helps keep better track of the conversation than if others are replying to messages you can't see. This example replaces messages from user1 and user2 with "[REDACTED]" | |||
/trigger addreplace shut_up modifier weechat_print "${tg_tags} =~ ,irc_privmsg, && ${tg_tags} =~ ,nick_(user1|user2|user3)," "/.*/${tg_prefix}\t${color:238}[REDACTED]" | |||
==Conditions== | |||
Conditions can be used to customize weechat depending on certain variables | |||
===Turn off nicklist on small windows=== | |||
/set weechat.bar.nicklist.conditions "${nicklist} && (${window.win_width} > 100 || ${buffer.full_name} == irc.bitlbee.&bitlbee)" | |||
===Hide buffer list on small terminals=== | |||
/set weechat.bar.buffers.conditions "${info:term_width} > 100" | |||
===Turn off status on nonactive windows === | |||
/set weechat.bar.status.conditions "${active}" | |||
