*** Why KSirc:
|
|
|
|
There's already a lot of good irc clients, so why write another one?
|
|
In my opinion X lacked a flexible and script-able irc client. While
|
|
"xterm -e irc" works well, it doesn't take advantage of a graphical
|
|
environment. On the other hand, most X irc clients focus on the
|
|
graphical part and never really develop the scripting side very well.
|
|
KSirc tries to solve these two problems. It uses sirc and as such
|
|
provides VERY powerful perl scripting while providing the X interface.

|
*** Do I need KDE and the QT libraries installed?!?!?
|
|
|
|
No.
|
|
|
|
Static binary versions are installed and work fine. If you want to
|
|
compile the source though, you'll need QT and KDE installed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
*** Why use QT/KDE instead of GTK or other toolkits?
|
|
|
|
At the time KSirc started QT/KDE provided the best possible graphical
|
|
interface and programming environment in my opinion. GTK while
|
|
potentially a useful toolkit in the future doesn't provide a stable
|
|
working environment at the moment. Plus I don't like what GTK looks
|
|
like.
|
|
|
|
I once started writing a client in Xforms, but it wasn't flexible
|
|
enough and turned me against most GUI C programming.

*** Filters in under 25 words:
|
|
|
|
Filters allow you to modify, mangle and redirect irc messages. You
|
|
can send messages which mean a certain format or style into different
|
|
windows (for oper's filter out NickServ kill's etc)
|
|
|
|
README.filters contains a detailed explanation and examples on how to
|
|
use filters.
|
|
|
|
*** How do I Query Someone? (private convertation)
|
|
|
|
/join <nick>
|
|
|
|
or
|
|
|
|
/join =<nick> for a dcc chat, make sure to open the dcc chat first
|
|
|
|
*** What are all the keystrokes?
|
|
|
|
Ctrl-Enter - go backwards through nicks that have messaged you
|
|
Ctrl-Shift-Enter - goes forwards
|
|
|
|
Shft-PageUp/PageDown - scroll forwards and backwards
|
|
|
|
*** How does nick completion work?
|
|
|
|
part-nick: at the beginning of the line is expanded to nick:
|
|
|
|
::part-nick anywhere in the line is expanded to nick. If part-nick is
|
|
not found the :: is removed and part-nick remains.
