ChatZilla: Did You Know?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The basics...
|
|
|
|
+ The networks listed in the *client* view on startup are clickable links.
|
|
Instead of typing /attach <network-name>, you can just click on one of the
|
|
links.
|
|
|
|
+ The view tabs are color coded, green means that something has happened in that
|
|
view since you last looked at it. Red means that someone has said something
|
|
to you.
|
|
|
|
+ ChatZilla will automatically highlight phrases that contain your nickname.
|
|
|
|
+ You can add to the list of words that cause messages to be highlighted with
|
|
the /stalk command. You can remove words from the list with the /unstalk
|
|
command.
|
|
|
|
+ You can quickly switch to another view using the function keys. F1 will
|
|
switch to the first view, F2 to the second, etc.
|
|
|
|
+ You can turn off the userlist, statusbar, and/or view tabs using the
|
|
File->Options menu.
|
|
|
|
+ You can see a list of commands by typing /commands.
|
|
|
|
+ You can get help on any command by typing /help <command-name>.
|
|
|
|
+ You can delete any view with the /delete command. Once deleted, the text from
|
|
that view will be lost. Deleteing a channel view is not the same as leaving
|
|
the channel. You will still be a member of the channel if you only /delete it.
|
|
It will reappear (without the previous contents) the next time activity occurs.
|
|
|
|
+ You can remove a channel or query view from the tab list without dropping its
|
|
contents. The /hide command will remove the view's tab, but keep the contents.
|
|
The next time something happens on that view, it will re-appear with the
|
|
previous text still intact.
|
|
|
|
+ You can recover deleted or hidden views. To recover a deleted *client* view,
|
|
use /client. To recover a network view use the /attach command, to recover
|
|
channel view use /join, and to recover a query view use /query.
|
|
|
|
The cool commands...
|
|
|
|
+ /networks will display the list of networks as a list of clickable links.
|
|
|
|
+ /status will show your connection status. If you use /status from a channel,
|
|
you'll get information about the network and server you are connected to,
|
|
including connection duration, and last ping and lag (if available.) You will
|
|
also get status on the channel you are viewing, including number of operators,
|
|
number voiced, and topic.
|
|
|
|
Using /status from a network view will give you information on every channel
|
|
you are connected to.
|
|
|
|
Using /status from the *client* view will give you information on every network
|
|
you are connected to, as well as every channel on that network.
|
|
|
|
+ /disconnect can be used to disconnect from a network without quitting
|
|
ChatZilla. This can be useful if you are attached to more than one network
|
|
but want to leave only one of them.
|
|
|
|
The more advanced stuff...
|
|
|
|
+ The input area can be switched to multiline mode by pressing [CTRL]+[UP].
|
|
Press [CTRL]+[ENTER] to sent the text to the server. In multiline mode,
|
|
the text you type not scanned for commands, so stray / characters will not
|
|
affect your post. To return to single line mode, press [CRTL]+[DOWN].
|
|
|
|
+ The place where messages appear can be styled to your own taste, if you
|
|
know a little css <http://www.htmlhelp.org/reference/css/>. See the comment
|
|
at the top of <http://lxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/source/extensions/irc/xul/skin/output-default.css>
|
|
for details.
|
|
|
|
+ You can manually bookmark an irc channel by creating a new irc:// bookmark.
|
|
From the "Manage bookmarks" window, create a new bookmark and enter
|
|
"irc://moznet/chatzilla", to bookmark the #chatzilla channel, for example.
|
|
You can also use a server name, as in "irc://irc.mcs.com/javascript".
|
|
|
|
+ irc:// urls work from normal web pages as well. You can link to your
|
|
irc channel from you home page. See
|
|
<http://www.w3.org/Addressing/draft-mirashi-url-irc-01.txt> for a description
|
|
of irc:// urls.
|
|
|
|
+ Turning off File->Options->Enable Smileys actually turns off all of the text
|
|
matching rules, including link detection, and bold/underline/italic. It will
|
|
also disable the part of ChatZilla that makes it possible to break long words
|
|
(ie, you'll end up with a horizontal scrollbar eventually.) This
|
|
option was added back when a few bugs in the JavaScript engine caused the
|
|
text matching rules to do Bad Things. You probably don't really want to turn
|
|
this off.
