It annoyed the piss out of me that irssi doesn’t have a list of nicks in a given irc room. Granted you can just /who but this just seemed like too much work given that programs such as weechat (which I have since swtiched to) have a nicklist right out of the box. If, for whatever reason, you decide that weechat just isnt for you and you wish to have a nicklist in your irssi, then follow these simple steps.
grab the nicklist script from irssi.org
1 | wget http://scripts.irssi.org/scripts/nicklist.pl |
then move said script into your irssi scripts folder
1 | mv nicklist.pl ~/.irssi/scripts |
then fire up irssi and issue these two commands:
1 | /script load nicklist |
/nicklist screen
Presto! now you have a nicklist inside of irssi. Beware of this script however, it does not play well with certain terminal,mrxvt for instance. There are ways to autoload scripts in irssi but I honestly didn’t use it long enough to be moved to figure it out. I suggest you check out weechat.
