https:\/\/weechat.org\/files\/doc\/devel\/weechat_quickstart.en.html<\/a><\/p>\n1. Start WeeChat<\/p>\n
A recommended terminal emulator for X (but not mandatory) is rxvt-unicode (it has good UTF-8 support, and no problem with default keyboard bindings).<\/p>\n
Run from your shell:<\/p>\n
$ weechat<\/p>\n
2. Online help \/ options<\/p>\n
WeeChat has help for all commands, just issue:<\/p>\n
\/help<\/p>\n
To get help on a specific command, issue:<\/p>\n
\/help command<\/p>\n
To set options, issue:<\/p>\n
\/set config.section.option value<\/p>\n
(where config is configuration name (weechat for core, or a plugin name), section the section of this configuration and option the option name).<\/p>\n
WeeChat immediately uses the new value (you never need to restart WeeChat after changes to configuration).<\/p>\n
You can use \/set option with partial name and wildcard “*” at the beginning or end to display all options containing letters. For example:<\/p>\n
display all options (WeeChat and plugins):<\/p>\n
\/set<\/p>\n
display WeeChat options:<\/p>\n
\/set weechat.*<\/p>\n
display IRC plugin options:<\/p>\n
\/set irc.*<\/p>\n
You can display help for an option with \/help, for example:<\/p>\n
\/help weechat.look.highlight<\/p>\n
All settings are saved when WeeChat ends (or with \/save command to force a write of the options).<\/p>\n
You can edit configuration files (*.conf) by hand and reload them by \/reload command if you don\u2019t want to use \/set command.
\n3. Core vs plugins<\/p>\n
WeeChat “core” is only used to display data on screen and interact with the user, that means weechat core without plugins is useless (faithful users: IRC was part of core for versions \u2264 0.2.6).<\/p>\n
All network protocols like IRC are provided in separate plugins.<\/p>\n
Use the \/plugin command to list loaded plugins, you should see “irc” and other plugins in the list.
\n4. Add an IRC server<\/p>\n
You can add an IRC server with \/server command, for example:<\/p>\n
\/server add freenode chat.freenode.net<\/p>\n
As usual, help is available if you\u2019re lost:<\/p>\n
\/help server<\/p>\n
5. Set custom IRC server options<\/p>\n
WeeChat uses default values for all servers (“fall backs”), if you don\u2019t specify a specific value for a server option. These default options are “irc.server_default.*”.<\/p>\n
For each server option, WeeChat uses its value if it is defined (not “null”). Otherwise WeeChat uses default value (“irc.server_default.xxx”).<\/p>\n
For example there\u2019s default nicks (based on your un*x login), and you can override them for freenode server with following command:<\/p>\n
\/set irc.server.freenode.nicks “mynick,mynick2,mynick3,mynick4,mynick5”<\/p>\n
To set username and realname:<\/p>\n
\/set irc.server.freenode.username “My user name”
\n\/set irc.server.freenode.realname “My real name”<\/p>\n
To enable auto-connect to server at startup:<\/p>\n
\/set irc.server.freenode.autoconnect on<\/p>\n
To connect with SSL:<\/p>\n
\/set irc.server.freenode.addresses “chat.freenode.net\/7000”
\n\/set irc.server.freenode.ssl on<\/p>\n
If SASL is available on server, you can use it for authentication (you will be identified before you join channels):<\/p>\n
\/set irc.server.freenode.sasl_username “mynick”
\n\/set irc.server.freenode.sasl_password “xxxxxxx”<\/p>\n
To run a command after connection to server, for example to authenticate with nickserv (only if you don\u2019t use SASL for authentication):<\/p>\n
\/set irc.server.freenode.command “\/msg nickserv identify xxxxxxx”<\/p>\n
Note
\n\tMany commands in option command can be separated by ; (semi-colon).<\/p>\n
To auto-join some channels when connecting to server:<\/p>\n
\/set irc.server.freenode.autojoin “#channel1,#channel2”<\/p>\n
To remove a value of a server option, and use the default value instead, for example to use default nicks (irc.server_default.nicks):<\/p>\n
\/set irc.server.freenode.nicks null<\/p>\n
Other options: you can setup other options with following command (“xxx” is option name):<\/p>\n
\/set irc.server.freenode.xxx value<\/p>\n
6. Connect to IRC server and auto-join channels<\/p>\n
\/connect freenode<\/p>\n
Note
\n\tThis command can be used to create and connect to a new server without using \/server command (should I repeat you can see help for this command with \/help connect ?).<\/p>\n
By default, server buffers are merged with WeeChat core buffer. To switch between core buffer and server buffers, you can use ctrl+x.<\/p>\n
It is possible to disable auto merge of server buffers to have independent server buffers:<\/p>\n
\/set irc.look.server_buffer independent<\/p>\n
7. Join\/part IRC channels<\/p>\n
Join a channel:<\/p>\n
\/join #channel<\/p>\n
Part a channel (keeping buffer open):<\/p>\n
\/part [quit message]<\/p>\n
Close server or channel buffer (\/close is an alias for \/buffer close):<\/p>\n
\/close<\/p>\n
8. IRC private messages<\/p>\n
Open a buffer and send a message to another user (nick foo):<\/p>\n
\/query foo this is a message<\/p>\n
Close the private buffer:<\/p>\n
\/close<\/p>\n
9. Buffer\/window management<\/p>\n
A buffer is a component linked to a plugin with a number, a category, and a name. A buffer contains the data displayed on the screen.<\/p>\n
A window is a view on a buffer. By default there\u2019s only one window displaying one buffer. If you split screen, you will see many windows with many buffers at same time.<\/p>\n
Commands to manage buffers and windows:<\/p>\n
\/buffer
\n\/window<\/p>\n
(I\u2019ll not repeat here that you can get help with \/help on these commands)<\/p>\n
For example, to vertically split your screen into a small window (1\/3 width), and a large window (2\/3), use command:<\/p>\n
\/window splitv 33<\/p>\n
10. Key bindings<\/p>\n
WeeChat uses many keys by default. All these keys are in the documentation, but you should know at least some vital keys:<\/p>\n
alt+\u2190\/\u2192 or F5\/F6: switch to previous\/next buffer<\/p>\n
F7\/F8: switch to previous\/next window (when screen is split)<\/p>\n
F9\/F10: scroll title bar<\/p>\n
F11\/F12: scroll nicklist<\/p>\n
Tab: complete text in input bar, like in your shell<\/p>\n
PgUp\/PgDn: scroll text in current buffer<\/p>\n
alt+a: jump to buffer with activity (in hotlist)<\/p>\n
According to your keyboard and\/or your needs, you can rebind any key to a command with \/key command. A useful key is alt+k to find key codes.<\/p>\n
For example, to bind alt+y to command \/buffer close:<\/p>\n
\/key bind (press alt-k) (press alt-y) \/buffer close<\/p>\n
You\u2019ll have a command line like:<\/p>\n
\/key bind meta-y \/buffer close<\/p>\n
To remove key:<\/p>\n
\/key unbind meta-y<\/p>\n
11. Plugins\/scripts<\/p>\n
On some distros like Debian, plugins are available via a separate package (like weechat-plugins). Plugins are automatically loaded when found (please look at the WeeChat documentation to load\/unload plugins or scripts).<\/p>\n
Many external scripts (from contributors) are available for WeeChat, you can download and install scripts from the repository with the \/script command, for example:<\/p>\n
\/script install iset.pl<\/p>\n
See \/help script for more info.<\/p>\n
A list of scripts is available in WeeChat with \/script or at this URL: https:\/\/weechat.org\/scripts
\n12. More documentation<\/p>\n
You can now use WeeChat and read FAQ\/documentation for any other questions: https:\/\/weechat.org\/doc<\/p>\n
Enjoy using WeeChat!
