SmIRC 0.70
SmIRC menus
Both the server and the channel window have a menu bar. The menu for the
server and the channel window is mostly the same, however, some of the
following options are only present in the server window, some only in the
command window. Most of these appear in both of them.
Also, because SmIRC is highly customizable via its resource file, the
following labels may be different from what you see.
IRC menu
New server window
This creates another server window. Each server window is completely
independent, and may be used to connect to a different server.
Multiple server windows can be used to connect to multiple servers, and join
channels on multiple IRC networks, at the same time.
The same effect can be accomplished by running another copy of SmIRC. Being
able to open multiple server windows, however, saves some X11R6/Motif
bloat.
Connect to server
Opens a dialog for a new server connection.
List server links
Executes a /LINKS command. (Why did I put this here?)
Close
Closes this window. If this is a channel window, executes the /PART
command. If this is a server window, executes a /QUIT command. Either
way, the end result of this action is to close the window (minor exception -
entering the /QUIT command manually will not close the server
window).
Edit menu
Cut
Copy
Paste
- copies text to/from clipboard, and the current field.
Channel menu
List
A shortcut to execute the /LIST command.
Join
A silly dialog to execute the /JOIN command.
Info...
Selecting this menu option displays the following window:
This window allows an easy way to set channel topic, modes, and bans. There
may be a slight delay where the pointer shows "Busy" while channel bans are
retrieved. The top of the window will show the current channel topic.
Following that, current channel modes are indicated by set pushbuttons.
On the left side of the window, current channel bans are shown. A new ban can
be added by entering it in the edit box on the right, and pressing the "Add"
button. To remove an existing ban, select it, then press the "Remove"
button.
This dialog window provides a very quick way to add a channel ban based on a
nickname that has recently left the channel. A small list widget, labeled
"Recent departures" in the diagram above, will show most recent nicknames that
have left the channel. NOTE: SmIRC can only show nicknames that have
left while you were on that channel. Nicks that have left this channel before
you joined cannot be shown.
To add a ban for a recently departed nick, select it in the window, then press
one of five buttons on the right that correspond to the ban mask that you wish
to add.
After changing the channel topic, modes, and/or bans, click "Ok" to effect the
changes in the channel. Click "Cancel" to close this dialog window without
making any changes.
Names
A silly dialog to execute the /NAMES command.
Part
Just for consistency's sake; this does the exact same thing that Close
does, on a channel window.
Bots...
Selecting this menu option displays a short window which shows all the bots
currently running in this channel, or server, window. You may select one or
more bots, and press "Terminate" to terminate them.
Log menu
Open
Starts logging all messages in this window. This menu selection is an
interactive version of the /LOGOPEN command.
Close
Stops logging messages in this window. This menu selection is equivalent to
the /LOGCLOSE command.
Help menu
Setup
Opens a dialog to set up the HTML browser. This help documentation is provided
in HTML format. You must specify a command which runs an HTML browser, in
order to be able to bring up the help documentation directly from SmIRC.
