## Setting up a mentions/hilight window for irssi.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you run irssi in a screen you might miss mentions and it's time
|
||
|
|
consuming to scroll back through logs looking for them.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A better way is to create a mentions or hilight window dedicated to
|
||
|
|
any messages that contain your nickname.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
(instructions adopted from [here](https://quadpoint.org/articles/irssi/)).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Install cras's hilightwin.pl:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
mkdir -p ~/.irssi/scripts/autorun
|
||
|
|
curl -L https://github.com/irssi/scripts.irssi.org/raw/gh-pages/scripts/hilightwin.pl > ~/.irssi/scripts/autorun/hilightwin.pl
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Setup the hilight window
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
/window new split
|
||
|
|
/window name hilight
|
||
|
|
/window size 6
|
||
|
|
/layout save
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Load script
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
/script load autorun/hilightwin.pl
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## away_screen.pl
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`away_screen.pl` is a script for irssi which automatically sets `/away` when you detach from screen.
|
||
|
|
It can also automatically change your nickname when you detach from screen so you can let others
|
||
|
|
know when you're away. It will also log mentions you've received while detached.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Installation
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
# download screen_away.pl
|
||
|
|
curl http://scripts.irssi.org/scripts/screen_away.pl ~/.irssi/scripts
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# (optional) autoload it by symlinking to ~/.irssi/scripts/autorun
|
||
|
|
# you may need to make the autorun directory first
|
||
|
|
cd ~/.irssi/scripts/autorun && ln -sv ../screen_away.pl .
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# restart irssi in a screen
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To automatically change your nickname when detached, run the following command from irssi:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
/set screen_away_nick YOUR_AWAY_NICKNAME
|
||
|
|
````
