Irssi Features
This plugin started life as Irssi Date, but has been expanded to include additional features. Originally, irssidate displayed day change notices in Gaim conversation windows. Now it supports some other features, such as the /window and /win commands to allow you to (among other things) close a window. The intention is to eventually implement as many of the features we like from irssi as we can.
Day change notices
If you have ever used irssi you may have noticed that at midnight, it shows the new date. This is the same thing, but for Gaim.
Example:
Day changed to 25 May 2006
The /window and /win commands
In irssi the /window and /win commands provide several features:
- /window left - go one conversation to the left
- /window right - go one conversation to the right
- /window next - go one conversation to the right (to the next conversation)
- /window previous - go one conversation to the left (to the previous conversation)
- /window close - close the current conversation. This is perhaps somewhat confusing given that in tabbed windows Gaim considers each conversation a separate tab, but it is intended to mimic irssi's treatment of all "conversations" as separate windows, not fit into Gaim's concept of tabs vs. windows.
For left, right, next, and previous, the conversations wrap around just as they do in irssi--when you hit the last conversation, next or right moves to the first conversation, and when you hit the first conversation, previous or left moves to the last conversation.
The /layout command
The /layout command provides two features:
- /layout save - save the current layout of conversations
- /layout load - load the previously saved layout of conversations
Note that the previous layout takes precedence over any existing conversations, so if you load the previous layout, it will rearrange all of your conversations so that the previous layout comes first, then any conversations that existed before the load will be placed after the last conversation in the layout.
The /lastlog command
The /lastlog command will search the conversation backlog for a given string. For example, /lastlog gaim will search the backlog for the string "gaim" and display all matches.
Text formatting
Whenever you type *sometext*, _sometext_, /sometext/, or -sometext- in a conversation, the results will be:
- *sometext* - *sometext*
- _sometext_ - _sometext_
- /sometext/ - /sometext/
- -sometext- -
