## options
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- `logger.level.irc` the default is 9, which includes joins and parts.
|
|
|
|
|
in most cases you can set this to 3, which only includes messages
|
|
|
|
|
- `weechat.look.buffer_notify_default` the default here is "all",
|
|
|
|
|
which will add joins and parts to your hotlist. set it to "message".
|
|
|
|
|
- `weechat.look.confirm_quit` set this to on. you'll thank me when you
|
|
|
|
|
type `/quit` and mean `/close`
|
|
|
|
|
- `weechat.look.highlight` add a comma-separated list of names/terms
|
|
|
|
|
you'd like to trigger a highlight here
|
|
|
|
|
- `weechat.look.prefix_align_max` set this to something between 10
|
|
|
|
|
and 20. otherwise, long nicks will crush your available screen real
|
|
|
|
|
estate.
|
|
|
|
|
- `buflist.format.indent` try something like
|
|
|
|
|
`${color:237}${if:${buffer.next_buffer.local_variables.type}=~^(channel|private)$?├:└}`
|
|
|
|
|
- `buflist.format.number` if you want to skip the . or space after the

|
|
|
|
|
- `irc.look.server_buffer` set this to independent to prevent
|
|
|
|
|
automatic merges with the core weechat buffer. especially useful if
|
|
|
|
|
you plan on using
|
|
|
|
|
[autosort.py](https://weechat.org/scripts/source/autosort.py.html/)
|
|
|
|
|
- `irc.server_default.autoconnect` set this to on so you don't have to
|
|
|
|
|
set it for every new network you add.
