Project: Irsii Twosplit, Unstick, and Normal
A project for CSCS1730 by Kelly Reed during the Fall of 2011.
This project was begun on 9/1/08 and is anticipated to take an hour.
Objectives
Create aliases that allow me to view multiple irc channels at once and return to normal.
Prerequisites
In order to successfully accomplish/perform this project, the listed resources/experiences need to be consulted/achieved:
- Irssi /help
Scope
To help myself and others monitor irc more efficentally
Attributes
State and justify the attributes you'd like to receive upon successful approval and completion of this project.
- scripting : cramming irssi commands to create a new command
- multitasking : ability to monitor multiple irssi channels
- commands : understanding irssi commands and how they can work together
Procedure
The actual steps taken to accomplish the project. Include images, code snippets, command-line excerpts; whatever is useful for intuitively communicating important information for accomplishing the project.
Code
in irssi with multiple channels open
/alias twosplit window 1;clear;window show 2;window size 35;window 2;window stick
from left to right:
- '/alias twosplit' creates a new alias of “twosplit”
- 'Window 1' moves irssi focus to screen 1
- 'clear' clears the screen screen to prevent a “not enough space” error
- 'window show 2' places window 2 above window 1
- 'window size 35' resizes window 2 to about half of the screen
- 'window 2' chooses which screen you want to sticky, stickied channel is always displayed, non stickied channel switches channels with ALT+x
- 'window stick' sticks the current window (see above)
/alias unstick window goto 1;window stick off;window goto 2;window stick off;window
goto 3;window stick off;window goto 4;window stick off;window goto 5;window
stick off;window goto 6;window stick off;window goto 7;window stick off;window
goto 8;window stick off;window goto 9;window stick off;window goto 10;window
stick off;window goto 11;window stick off;window goto 12;window stick
off;window goto 13;window stick off
long story short, this unsticks all windows… no real modification can happen here…
/alias normal unstick;window hide;window hide
this uses the unstick to return the irssi display to default
after entering the aliases use these commands to toggle between normal and twosplit modes.
/twosplit
enables twosplit mode
/normal
returns to normal mode
Reflection
Awesomeness…
