Older notes can be found at Compiling WeeChat 0.3.0 on Unity Linux 64bit beta1. Some things noted there have become default.

TODO ∞

• The mouse can be bound. There appear to be some defaults which aren’t working.

  • Scroll up/down
  • Scroll the list of nicks up/down
• Change servers
• control-d /leave
• Figure out how in the fuck to change servers when I’m connected to more than one

• Set up auto-connect, and channel auto-join

0.4.2 ∞

I haven’t played around with scripts yet.

Key bindings ∞

• alt-k or escape k (and then your key) is used to find key codes. It makes doing /key bind much easier.

• There’s a helper at https://web.archive.org/web/20200616145458/http://anti.teamidiot.de/static/nei/*/Code/WeeChat/alpha/nicekey.pl

/key bind (press alt-k) (press alt-y) /buffer close

/key bind meta2-3;5~ /input delete_next_word

alt-backspace, delete the word to the left.

control-/ – Note that you cannot simply type control-/ and instead you must replace (codes) by pressing alt-k and then control-/ to have weechat input the appropriate text.

/key bind (codes) /input search_text

control-pageup/pagedown, alt-pageup/pagedown – 0.4.2 update – control pageup/pagedown is used by most tabbed terminals.
