======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
  * [[http://quadpoint.org/articles/irssisplit|resource2]]
  * [[http://selcouth.com/projects/irssi|http://selcouth.com/projects/irssi]]

=====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
<code> 
/alias twosplit window 1;clear;window show 2;window size 35;window 2;window stick
</code>

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)

<code>
/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
</code>

long story short, this unsticks all windows... no real modification can happen here...

<code>
/alias normal unstick;window hide;window hide
</code>
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.
<code>
/twosplit
</code>
enables twosplit mode
<code>
/normal
</code>
returns to normal mode


=====Reflection=====
Awesomeness...
