Very basic irssi tutorial

irssi.txt

SETTING UP IRSSI

-> to add a network (change jtvirc to whatever you want, it's what you want the network name to be)

/network add -nick YOUR_TWITCH_NICKNAME jtvirc

-> To add a channel that gets automatically connected to when
        - if you don't want to auto connect, take out the -auto
	- The jtvirc here should be the same as the network name from above

/channel add -auto #sullyjhf jtvirc


-> To add a server that gets connected when you start irssi
	- Again if you don't want autoconnect, take out -auto

/server add -auto -network jtvirc your_twitch_nickname.jtvirc.com 6667 password_goes_here

-> Save your progress
/save


-> To connect to the server (added above) manually

/connect your_twitch_nickname.jtvirc.com

NAVIGATION
-----
Every window has a number, you can see it in the little status bar thing. Basically press alt+Number to go to that window. alt+3 will take you to window 3. ctrl+P will go to the previous number, ctrl+N will go to the next!

NIFTY LAYOUT STUFF

How to split your terminal into multiple chats, like you see here (top window is #gocnak, bottom is #sullyjhf)

So basically, read the few definitions at the top of this
http://quadpoint.org/articles/irssisplit/

You may want to follow that tutorial instead, but I'll just skim over it here


-> First, turn off window stick
	- Do this in all the channels you want to display
/win stick off

-> Show the window you want to see - It'll appear at the top
	- replace 4 with window number you want to see
/win show 4

-> Save the layout
/layout save



To resize a window, go to that window (alt+its number) and do
/win size 13
	- Replace 13 with how many lines of text vertically you want the window to span

You can also do /win grow (# of lines) and /win shrink (# of lines). If you leave out the # of lines, it'll do 1
