/mouse enable

Encrypted password in sec.conf

/secure passphrase <pass>

Network

Default settings on server creation

/set irc.server_default.nicks r3m
/set irc.server_default.ssl_verify off
/set irc.server_default.capabilities "account-notify,away-notify,cap-notify,multi-prefix,server-time,znc.in/self-message"

the last line request some IRCv3 capabilities. Capabilities supported by WeeChat are: account-notify, away-notify, cap-notify, extended-join, multi-prefix, server-time, userhost-in-names. See IRCv3 Specifications to learn more about IRCv3 capabilities.

Network-specific settings

/server add bitlbee ${sec.data.bncaddrport} -ssl -autoconnect
/set irc.server.bitlbee.password r3m/bitlbee:${sec.data.bncpass}
/set irc.server.bitlbee.command /msg &bitlbee identify;/oper anything ${sec.data.bitlbeepass}

/server add freenode ${sec.data.bncaddrport} -ssl -autoconnect
/set irc.server.freenode.password r3m/freenode:${sec.data.bncpass}

/server add snoonet ${sec.data.bncaddrport} -ssl -autoconnect
/set irc.server.snoonet.password r3m/snoonet:${sec.data.bncpass}

/server add oftc ${sec.data.bncaddrport} -ssl -autoconnect
/set irc.server.oftc.password r3m/oftc:${sec.data.bncpass}

/connect -all

Once you're connected to bitlbee, WeeChat will send a PRIVMSG to the &bitlbee channel to ask BitlBee to use the /oper command to identify. This is more secure because you're password will not be echoed on the screen and will not appears in logs files. This command will send a message to the &bitlbee channel successfully even if you aren't yet on &bitlbee. &bitlbee channel is not +n.

Extensions

Plugins to load at startup

/set weechat.plugin.autoload "*,!lua,!tcl,!ruby,!fifo,!xfer,!guile,!javascript"

this will load all module except lua, tcl, ruby, fifo, xfer, guile and javascript

Aspell

/set aspell.check.default_dict en
/set aspell.check.suggestions 3
/set aspell.color.suggestions *green
/aspell enable

Set the dictionary based on the channel name

/trigger add setdict signal *,irc_in2_join
/trigger set setdict conditions "${nick} == ${info:irc_nick,${server}} && ${channel} =~ [.-](fr|it|es)$ && ${aspell.dict.irc.${server}.${channel}} =="
/trigger set setdict regex "/.*[.-](fr|it|es)$/${re:1}/"
/trigger set setdict command "/set aspell.dict.irc.${server}.${channel} ${tg_signal_data}"

This trigger will set the french dictionnary for channel ending in .fr and -fr Same for it and es.

Note: we will add the suggestions to the statusbar later.

Relay

/relay sslcertkey
/relay add ssl.weechat <port>
/set relay.network.password ${sec.data.relaypass}

If you want a trusted certificate, use let's encrypt! with weechat relay.

Note: Even if I use a bouncer (ZNC), this is quite useful to enable relay. Like this you have access to all IRC client (ZNC) and all weechat remote interface (WeeChat Relay). Of course, WeeChat can do both but ZNC is multi-user.

Logger

/set logger.level.irc 0
/set logger.file.path /home/launch/.znc/users/r3m/moddata/log
/set logger.mask.irc %Y/$server/$channel.%m-%d.log

Note: I do not log IRC conversation via WeeChat (I log via ZNC). However, I use the script grep.py and this script check the value of logger.file.path. If the module is not loaded, the value is not accessible. You could load logger, then set the correct path and run /logs to build the index and then disable logger but I had an issue when I upgrade WeeChat.

Scripts

/script install highmon.pl buffer_autoset.py perlexec.pl autosort.py grep.py text_item.py 

highmon.pl

/set plugins.var.perl.highmon.alignment "nchannel"

autosort.py

/autosort replacements add ## #
/autosort rules add irc.server.*.&* = 0
/autosort rules add irc.server.*.#* = 1
/autosort rules add irc.server.*.\*status = 2

channels (begin with & and #) will appears right below the server, private message from *status will follow and finally the rest.

vimode.py

If you use this script, see the input bar below, I included two items from this script to the input bar.

/bar set vi_line_numbers conditions ${active} && ${weechat.bar.vi_cmd.hidden} == 0

The vi_line_numbers bar will be only visible in the active window whenever we enter an Ex command (whenever the vi_cmd bar is visible).

Bars

Bar buflist

unmerge servers buffers from core and indent

/set irc.look.server_buffer independent

Note: show channels and privates buffers under their respective server instead of mixing them all.

/set buflist.format.buffer "${format_number}${indent}${eval:${format_name}}${format_hotlist} ${color:31}${buffer.local_variables.filter}${buffer.local_variables.buflist}"
/set buflist.format.buffer_current ${if:${type}==server?${color:*white,31}:${color:*white}}${hide:>,${buffer[last_gui_buffer].number}} ${indent}${if:${type}==server&&${info:irc_server_isupport_value,${name},NETWORK}?${info:irc_server_isupport_value,${name},NETWORK}:${name}} ${color:31}${buffer.local_variables.filter}${buffer.local_variables.buflist}
/set buflist.format.hotlist " ${color:239}${hotlist}${color:239}"
/set buflist.format.hotlist_highlight "${color:163}"
/set buflist.format.hotlist_message "${color:229}"
/set buflist.format.hotlist_private "${color:121}"
/set buflist.format.name "${if:${type}==server?${color:white}:${color_hotlist}}${if:${type}==server||${type}==channel||${type}==private?${if:${cutscr:15,+,${name}}!=${name}?${cutscr:15,${color:${weechat.color.chat_prefix_more}}+,${if:${type}==server&&${info:irc_server_isupport_value,${name},NETWORK}?${info:irc_server_isupport_value,${name},NETWORK}:${name}}}:${cutscr:15, ,${if:${type}==server&&${info:irc_server_isupport_value,${name},NETWORK}?${info:irc_server_isupport_value,${name},NETWORK}                              :${name}                              }}}:${name}}"
/set buflist.format.number "${if:${type}==server?${color:black,31}:${color:239}}${number}${if:${number_displayed}?.: }"
/set weechat.bar.buflist.size 25
/set weechat.bar.buflist.size_max 30

Different foreground and background colors for servers buffers. Display the real network name instead of the one you create in WeeChat. For example, if you add a server BNCFreenode, it will appears as freenode. Servers, channels and privates names that exceed 8 characters will be cut to 8 followed by a + sign. Those who have less than 8 characters will be filled with space to make them align their hotlist with those that exceed 8 characters. Here, I added 25 spaces even if my bar is only 18, if you're bar is more than 25 characters wide, add spaces. Finally, if you type /iset something, the something text will appears at the right of iset. The load average will appears at the right of conky and the current city will appears at the right of weather (if you type /weather )

Bar active title

/bar add activetitle window top 1 0 buffer_title
/set weechat.bar.activetitle.priority 500
/set weechat.bar.activetitle.conditions "${active}"
/set weechat.bar.activetitle.color_fg white
/set weechat.bar.activetitle.color_bg 31
/set weechat.bar.activetitle.separator on

Note: This bar will be different from the already created one. I set the conditions to ${active} so this bar will be displayed on the active window only. The other one will be used for other windows.

Bar title

/set weechat.bar.title.conditions "${inactive}"
/set weechat.bar.title.color_fg black
/set weechat.bar.title.color_bg 31

Bar status

/bar add rootstatus root bottom 1 0 [time],[buffer_count],[buffer_plugin],buffer_number+:+buffer_name+(buffer_modes)+{buffer_nicklist_count}+buffer_filter,[bitlbee_typing_notice],[lag],[aspell_dict],[aspell_suggest],completion,scroll
/set weechat.bar.rootstatus.color_fg 31
/set weechat.bar.rootstatus.color_bg 234
/set weechat.bar.rootstatus.separator on
/set weechat.bar.rootstatus.priority 500
/bar del status
/bar set rootstatus name status

Note: the built-in status bar is of type window. I prefer a status bar of type root which means it will be outside any window. At this time, you can't change the type of a bar. So we delete the status bar and create a new one.

Bar input

/bar add rootinput root bottom 1 0 [mode_indicator]+[buffer_name]+[input_prompt]+(away),[input_search],[input_paste],input_text,[vi_buffer]"
/set weechat.bar.rootinput.color_bg black
/set weechat.bar.rootinput.priority 1000
/bar del input
/bar set rootinput name input

Note: the built-in input bar is of type window. I prefer a input bar of type root which means it will be outside any window. At this time, you can't change the type of a bar. So we delete the status bar and create a new one.

Bar Nicklist

/set weechat.bar.nicklist.color_fg 229
/set weechat.bar.nicklist.separator on
/set weechat.bar.nicklist.conditions "${nicklist} && ${window.number} == 1"
/set weechat.bar.nicklist.size_max 20
/set weechat.bar.nicklist.size 16

Note: I changed the conditions to display the nicklist only on buffer of type channels ${nicklist} and on the window number 1, which is my chat window (2 being my highlight window and 3 my conky window). In my case, I could remove ${window.numer} == 1 because the highmon and exec buffer (conky) are not of type channels so ${nicklist} is enough.

Bar ZNC (see this dedicated gist)

/set plugins.var.python.text_item.znc_commands "private "

/set plugins.var.znc_commands Version ListMods ListAvailMods ListNicks ListServers AddNetwork DelNetwork ListNetworks MoveNetwork JumpNetwork AddServer DelServer AddTrustedServerFingerprint DelTrustedServerFingerprint ListTrustedServerFingerprints EnableChan DisableChan Attach Detach Topics PlayBuffer ClearBuffer ClearAllChannelBuffers ClearAllQueryBuffers SetBuffer AddBindHost DelBindHost ListBindHosts SetBindHost SetUserBindHost ClearBindHost ClearUserBindHost ShowBindHost Jump Disconnect Connect Uptime LoadMod UnloadMod ReloadMod UpdateMod ShowMOTD SetMOTD AddMOTD ClearMOTD ListPorts AddPort DelPort Rehash SaveConfig ListUsers ListAllUserNetworks ListChans ListClients Traffic Broadcast Shutdown Restart

/bar add znc_commands window right 14 1 znc_commands
/set weechat.bar.znc_commands.conditions "${buffer.full_name} =~ \.*status$ && ${window.number} == 1"
/set weechat.bar.znc_commands.size_max 14

/trigger add hsignal_znc_commands hsignal znc_commands
/trigger set hsignal_znc_commands command "/command -buffer ${buffer.full_name} * /quote znc help ${_bar_item_line};/command -buffer ${buffer.full_name} * /input delete_line;/command -buffer ${buffer.full_name} * /input insert ${_bar_item_line}\x20"

/key bindctxt mouse @item(znc_commands):button1 hsignal:znc_commands  

/eval /perlexec my $i = 0; foreach my $command (split / /, '${plugins.var.znc_commands}') { (my $command2 = $command) =~ s/.*?([A-Z][A-Z]+|[A-Z][a-z]+)$/$1/; $command2 =~ s/([^s])s$/$1/; weechat::command("", "/eval /mute set plugins.var.python.text_item.znc_commands \\${plugins.var.python.text_item.znc_commands}\\\\${color:\\${info:irc_nick_color_name,$command2}}$command\\\\${\\n}"); weechat::command("", "/eval /mute set trigger.trigger.hsignal_znc_commands.regex \\${trigger.trigger.hsignal_znc_commands.regex} /^$i\\\\$/$command/_bar_item_line"); $i++; }

This bar will be exactly like a default nicklist bar. That is, right-positionned with vertical filling. But instead of nicknames, it will contains a znc command per line. If you click on a command, the input bar will be filled with the command name, then you add whatever you want or simply press enter. Futhermore, this will send help command to znc.

Layouts

Layout highlight

/perlexec my $total = weechat::hdata_integer(weechat::hdata_get("window"), weechat::current_window(), "win_height"); weechat::command($buffer, "/window splith " . int(8 / $total * 100));
/buffer perl.highmon
/window 1
/layout store highlight

Note: Instead of having only one window, we split it to create another one that we will use to show all highlights.

Layout highlight-conky

/window 2
/window splitv 85
/buffer exec.conky
/window 1
/layout store highlight-conky

Note: split the highlight monitor window in 2 and show conky in the new one

RSS

/filter add rss irc.freenode.##news irc_privmsg !^\[(/r/netsec|XKCD|Ars Technica|Wired|Wikinews|freenode|EFF|erry|techdirt|TorrentFreak|Science Daily)
/trigger add redirect_newsbin_to_news modifier weechat_print
/trigger set redirect_newsbin_to_news conditions "${tg_buffer} == irc.freenode.#newsbin && ${tg_tag_nick} == slack3r"
/trigger set redirect_newsbin_to_news regex "/.*//"
/trigger set redirect_newsbin_to_news command "/print -buffer irc.freenode.##news ${tg_prefix}\t${tg_message}"
/buffer_autoset add irc.freenode.#newsbin hidden 1

##news and #newsbin are two channels dedicated to live news. On ##news, I use a filter to hide news from site other than those I explicitly mention. On #newsbin, I do not create any filter. Then, the trigger will redirect message from #newsbin to ##news. This way I can see all the news on one buffer. Finally, we hide #newsbin buffer in the buffers bar.

ptpb

/alias add ptpburl /exec -sh -hsignal ptpburl $* 2>&1 | curl -sF c=@- https://ptpb.pw/?u=1
/trigger add ptpburl hsignal ptpburl
/trigger set ptpburl command "/command -buffer ${buffer.full_name} core /input delete_line;/command -buffer ${buffer.full_name} core /input insert ${out}"

This allow you to type /ptpburl uptime for example, to send the output of the uptime command to ptpb. Your input bar content will be replaced by the url of the paste. This way you can visit the URL to see if there is sensitive information before giving the url to everyone. You may wonder why I didn't used something like: /exec -sh -pipe "/input delete_line;/input insert " $* 2>&1 | curl -sF c=@- https://ptpb.pw/?u=1. Well If we use this, the input bar will be filled with the command and not the url.

Highlight

/set weechat.look.highlight *pascalpoitras*
/buffer_autoset add irc.bitlbee.#twitter_pascalpoitras* highlight_words freenode,snoonet,*weechat*
/buffer_autoset add irc.bitlbee.#LET highlight_regex .*
/buffer_autoset add irc.bitlbee.#deals highlight_regex .*
/buffer_autoset add irc.freenode.##reddit-hockey highlight_regex (^GOAL: MTL.*|^Le But: MTL.*)

Triggers

/trigger add upgrade_scripts signal day_changed
/trigger set upgrade_scripts command "/script update;/wait 10s /script upgrade"
/trigger add send_to_active_grep_log_nick command send_to_active_grep_log_nick
/trigger set send_to_active_grep_log_nick conditions ${tg_argv_eol1} && ${type} =~ ^(private|channel)$
/trigger set send_to_active_grep_log_nick regex /\\\$/\\\\/tg_argv1
/trigger set send_to_active_grep_log_nick command /input delete_line;/input insert /exec -sh -norc -pipe "/input insert grep -hiP '^\[\d{2}:\d{2}:\d{2}\] (<|\* )\Q${tg_argv1}\E>? ${tg_argv_eol2} " grep -hiP '^\[\d{2}:\d{2}:\d{2}\] (<|\* )\Q${tg_argv1}\E>? ${tg_argv_eol2}' ~/.znc/users/r3m/moddata/log/`date "+%Y"`/'${server}'/'${buffer.short_name}'.* | shuf -n 1

The trigger upgrade_scripts will update the local script cache and then upgrade all the installed scripts at midnight. The send_to_active_grep_log_nick will search in log for something a user said before. Then it will send the output to IRC. I use the grep.py when searching in log for myself but I created this trigger to return a random line from a user.
