WeeChat on Fedora 18
Raw
weechat_fedora.rst

Rough notes to start using WeeChat on Fedora 17/18:

Quick Start

Install and Start :

# yum install weechat
# weechat-curses

List of servers

/server list

Freenode is already there.

/connect freenode

Set your nick:

/nick amitksaha /msg NickServ identify ****

Join networks:

/join #beaker /join #fedora-qa

Part:

/part

(Keeps the buffer open)

/close

(Quits;closes)

Quit:

/quit

Key bindings:

  • Move between channels using Alt + ><
  • Scroll up/down using PgUp/PgDown

Customise

Connect to Freenode on start:

/set irc.server.freenode.autoconnect on

Set username and nicks:

  • /set irc.server.freenode.username "amitksaha"
  • /set irc.server.freenode.nicks "amitksaha"

Execute command on connect:

/set irc.server.freenode.command "/msg NickServ identify ***"

Auto join channels:

/set irc.server.freenode.autojoin "#beaker,#fedora-qa"

Enhance

Buffer list script: http://www.weechat.org/scripts/source/stable/buffers.pl.html/

  • Download the script to say /tmp/buffers.pl
  • Then load it using /perl load /tmp/buffers.pl

Other interesting ones:

Ofcourse, you could just use /script to browse the list of scripts and use /script install <script name> to install the script. Has the advantage that the script is autoloaded everytime.
