Pimp my irssi
To start the new year, I was wondering what everyone’s favorite theme, scripts, and hacks for irssi are. I currently use the default irssi theme with the following scripts:
- nicklist.pl - Allows me to see the user list in each channel, giving it the feel of the majority GUI IRC clients.
- screen_away.pl - When I detach from my screen it will then set me to away and save any highlighted messages into the status window so I can easily respond to my people who were talking to me.
- trackbar.pl - Sets a line at the last line that was viewable before I switched channels/windows, that way I can easily find the last place I read and continue from there.
- splitlong.pl - Splits long messages
outside of the custom scripts I use, I also have:
scrollback_lines 100000
autolog = "yes"
autolog_path = "~/.irssi/irclogs/$tag/$0-%m%y.log"








I just want to say thanks. I’ve been craving a script that would set my status to away when I disconnected screen. I’ve just never got around to searching for one. Now I don’t have to.
That trackbar one is also really sweet. As far as the ones I’m using I’ve just been using nicklist and nickcolor up until now.
