The other options can be displayed with this command:

    $ cmake -LA

Or with Curses interface:

    $ ccmake ..

#### Tests

Following packages are required to compile tests:

- libcpputest-dev

- C++ compiler

Tests must be enabled when compiling WeeChat:

    $ cmake .. -DENABLE_TESTS=ON

They can be launched after compilation from the build directory:

    $ ctest -V

### 2.4. Git sources

Warning: Git sources are for advanced users: it may not compile or not be stable. You’re warned!

To get Git sources, issue this command:

    $ git clone https://github.com/weechat/weechat.git

Then follow instructions for source package (see source package).

### 2.5. Report crashes

If you experienced crashes, or if you want to report any future WeeChat crash, you have to:

- Compile with:

  - debug info (or install binary package with debug info),

  - address sanitizer (optional).

- Enable core files on your system.

- Install gdb.

#### Debug build

If you’re compiling with CMake:

    $ cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug

#### Address sanitizer

You can additionally enable the address sanitizer, which causes WeeChat to crash immediately in case of problem:

    $ cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DCMAKE_C_FLAGS=-fsanitize=address -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS=-fsanitize=address -DCMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS=-fsanitize=address

| You should enable address sanitizer only if you’re trying to cause a crash, this is not recommended in production.

Then once compiled and installed, you must run WeeChat like this:

    $ ASAN_OPTIONS="detect_odr_violation=0 log_path=asan.log" weechat

In case of crash, the backtrace is in file `asan.log`.

#### Core files

To enable core files, you can use option weechat.startup.sys_rlimit:

    /set weechat.startup.sys_rlimit "core:-1"

For WeeChat ≤ 0.3.8 or if you want to enable core files even before WeeChat starts, you can use `ulimit` command.

For example under Linux with bash shell, add this line to your `~/.bashrc`:

    ulimit -c unlimited

Or max size:

    ulimit -c 200000

#### Get backtrace with gdb

When WeeChat crashes, your system will create a file core or core.12345 (12345 is process id) if the option is enabled. This file is created in directory where you have run WeeChat (this is not directory where WeeChat is installed!).

| On some systems like Archlinux, core dumps could be in another directory like /var/lib/systemd/coredump and you must use the command `coredumpctl` to read it. For more information, see this wiki page ↗.

For example if weechat is installed in /usr/bin/ and core file is in /home/user/, then run gdb with this command:

    gdb /usr/bin/weechat /home/user/core

Then under gdb, use command `bt full` to display backtrace. You will see something like that:

    (gdb) set logging file /tmp/crash.txt
    (gdb) set logging on
    Copying output to /tmp/crash.txt.
    (gdb) bt full
    #0  0x00007f9dfb04a465 in raise () from /lib/libc.so.6
    #1  0x00007f9dfb04b8e6 in abort () from /lib/libc.so.6
    #2  0x0000000000437f66 in weechat_shutdown (return_code=1, crash=1)
        at /some_path/src/core/weechat.c:351
    #3  <signal handler called>
    #4  0x000000000044cb24 in hook_process_timer_cb (arg_hook_process=0x254eb90,

            hook_process = 0x254eb90
            status = <value optimized out>

            tv_time = {tv_sec = 1272693881, tv_usec = 212665}
            ptr_hook = 0x2811f40
            next_hook = 0x0
    #6  0x000000000041b5b0 in gui_main_loop ()
        at /some_path/src/gui/curses/gui-curses-main.c:319
            hook_fd_keyboard = 0x173b600
            tv_timeout = {tv_sec = 0, tv_usec = 0}
            read_fds = {fds_bits = {0 <repeats 16 times>}}
            write_fds = {fds_bits = {0 <repeats 16 times>}}
            except_fds = {fds_bits = {0 <repeats 16 times>}}
            max_fd = <value optimized out>

You must report this trace to developers, and tell them what action caused this crash.

Thank you for your help!

#### Debug a running WeeChat

To debug a running WeeChat (for example if WeeChat seems blocked), you can use gdb with process id (replace 12345 with PID of weechat process):

    gdb /usr/bin/weechat 12345

Then like for a crash, use command `bt full`:

    (gdb) bt full

## 3. Running WeeChat

To start WeeChat, issue this command:

    $ weechat

When you run WeeChat for the first time, the default configuration files are created in ~/.config/weechat with default options and values (see Files and directories).

### 3.1. Command line options

-a, --no-connect

  Disable auto-connect to servers when WeeChat is starting.

-c, --colors

  Display default colors in terminal.

--daemon

  Run WeeChat in background, as a daemon (works only with the command weechat-headless).

--stdout

  Display log messages on standard output instead of writing them in log file (works only with the command weechat-headless, not compatible with option "--daemon").

-d, --dir <path>

  Force a single directory for all WeeChat files (directory is created if not found). Four directories can be given, separated by colons (in this order: config, data, cache, runtime). If this option is not given, the environment variable WEECHAT_HOME is used (if not empty).

-t, --temp-dir

  Create a temporary WeeChat home directory and delete it on exit (incompatible with option "-d").
  The name of the directory is automatically built by WeeChat, with this template: "weechat_temp_XXXXXX" (where "XXXXXX" is random). It it created in the first available directory in this list: environment variable "TMPDIR", "/tmp" (may be different according to the operating system), environment variable "HOME", current directory.
  The temporary home directory has permissions 0700 (only owner can read, write and execute).

-h, --help

  Display help.

-l, --license

  Display WeeChat license.

-p, --no-plugin

  Disable plugins auto-load.

-P, --plugins <plugins>

  Load only these plugins at startup (see /help weechat.plugin.autoload). If this option is given, the option weechat.plugin.autoload is not used.

-r, --run-command <command>

  Run command(s) after startup; many commands can be separated by semicolons, this option can be given multiple times.

-s, --no-script

  Disable scripts auto-load.

--upgrade

  Upgrade WeeChat using session files generated with command `/upgrade -quit`.

-v, --version

  Display WeeChat version.

plugin:option

  Option for a plugin.

Some extra options are available for debug purposes only:

| Do NOT use any of these options in production!

--no-dlclose

  Do not call the function dlclose after plugins are unloaded. This is useful with tools like Valgrind to display stack for unloaded plugins.

--no-gnutls

  Do not call the init and deinit functions of GnuTLS library. This is useful with tools like Valgrind and electric-fence, to prevent GnuTLS memory errors.

--no-gcrypt

  Do not call the init and deinit functions of Gcrypt library. This is useful with tools like Valgrind, to prevent Gcrypt memory errors.

### 3.2. Environment variables

Some environment variables are used by WeeChat if they are defined:

Name | Description
--- | ---
`WEECHAT_HOME` | The WeeChat home (with configuration files, logs, scripts, etc.). Same behavior as CMake option `WEECHAT_HOME`.
`WEECHAT_PASSPHRASE` | The passphrase used to decrypt secured data.
`WEECHAT_EXTRA_LIBDIR` | An extra directory to load plugins (from the "plugins" directory in this path).

### 3.3. Colors support

WeeChat can use up to 32767 color pairs to display text in bars and chat area (your terminal must support 256 colors to use them in WeeChat).

According to value of TERM environment variable, you may have following limits for colors in WeeChat:

$TERM | Colors | Pairs
--- | --- | ---
"rxvt-unicode", "xterm", …​ | 88 | 32767
"rxvt-256color", "xterm-256color", …​ | 256 | 32767
"screen" | 8 | 64
"screen-256color" | 256 | 32767
"tmux" | 8 | 64
"tmux-256color" | 256 | 32767

You can run `weechat --colors` or use command `/color` in WeeChat to display limits for your environment.

Some recommended values for TERM if you want 256 colors:

- under screen: screen-256color

- under tmux: screen-256color or tmux-256color

- outside screen/tmux: xterm-256color, rxvt-256color, putty-256color, …​

| You may have to install package "ncurses-term" to use these values in TERM variable.

If you are using screen, you can add this line to your ~/.screenrc:

    term screen-256color

If your TERM variable has wrong value and that WeeChat is already running, you can change it with these two commands:

    /set env TERM screen-256color
    /upgrade

### 3.4. Files and directories

#### XDG directories

WeeChat uses XDG directories by default (according to the XDG Base Directory Specification ↗).
A single home directory for all files can be forced by CMake option `WEECHAT_HOME`, the environment variable `WEECHAT_HOME` or the command-line option `-d` / `--dir`.

When a single WeeChat home directory is not forced, XDG directories are used and set like this:

Directory | Default value | Fallback value if $XDG_XXX is not defined
--- | --- | ---
config | `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/weechat` | `$HOME/.config/weechat`
data | `$XDG_DATA_HOME/weechat` | `$HOME/.local/share/weechat`
cache | `$XDG_CACHE_HOME/weechat` | `$HOME/.cache/weechat`
runtime | `$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/weechat` | Same as cache directory

The configuration files are created with default values the first time you run WeeChat.

#### WeeChat directories

The WeeChat directories are:

Path (1) | Description
--- | ---
`~/.config/weechat/` | WeeChat configuration files: `*.conf`, certificates, etc.
`~/.local/share/weechat/` | WeeChat data files: logs, scripts, scripts data, xfer files, etc.
`logs/` | Log files (one file per buffer).
`python/` | Python scripts.
`autoload/` | Python scripts auto-loaded on startup (2).
`perl/` | Perl scripts.
`autoload/` | Perl scripts auto-loaded on startup (2).
`ruby/` | Ruby scripts.
`autoload/` | Ruby scripts auto-loaded on startup (2).
`lua/` | Lua scripts.
`autoload/` | Lua scripts auto-loaded on startup (2).
`tcl/` | Tcl scripts.
`autoload/` | Tcl scripts auto-loaded on startup (2).
`guile/` | Guile scripts.
`autoload/` | Guile scripts auto-loaded on startup (2).
`javascript/` | JavaScript scripts.
`autoload/` | JavaScript scripts auto-loaded on startup (2).
`php/` | PHP scripts.
`autoload/` | PHP scripts auto-loaded on startup (2).
`~/.cache/weechat/` | WeeChat cache files: scripts cache.
`/run/user/1000/weechat/` | WeeChat runtime files: FIFO pipe, Relay UNIX sockets.

| (1) XDG directories may be different according to your environment variables `XDG_*`. (2) This directory often contains only symbolic links to scripts in the parent directory.

#### WeeChat files

The files in the WeeChat home directory are:

File | Description | Sensitive data
--- | --- | ---
`weechat.conf` | Main WeeChat configuration file | Possible (example: list of channels in a saved buffers layout).
`sec.conf` | Configuration file with secured data | Yes, highly sensitive: this file must never be shared with anyone.
`plugins.conf` | Plugins configuration file | Possible, depends on plugins/scripts.
`alias.conf` | Configuration file for alias plugin | Possible, depends on aliases.
`buflist.conf` | Configuration file for buflist plugin | No.
`charset.conf` | Configuration file for charset plugin | No.
`exec.conf` | Configuration file for exec plugin | No.
`fifo.conf` | Configuration file for fifo plugin | No.
`fset.conf` | Configuration file for fset plugin | No.
`guile.conf` | Configuration file for guile plugin | No.
`irc.conf` | Configuration file for irc plugin | Yes: it can contain passwords for servers, nickserv and channels (if not stored in `sec.conf`).
`javascript.conf` | Configuration file for javascript plugin | No.
`logger.conf` | Configuration file for logger plugin | No.
`lua.conf` | Configuration file for lua plugin | No.
`perl.conf` | Configuration file for perl plugin | No.
`php.conf` | Configuration file for php plugin | No.
`python.conf` | Configuration file for python plugin | No.
`relay.conf` | Configuration file for relay plugin | Yes: it can contain relay password and TOTP secret (if not stored in `sec.conf`), allowed IP addresses/websocket origins and opened ports.
`ruby.conf` | Configuration file for ruby plugin | No.
`script.conf` | Configuration file for script plugin | No.
`tcl.conf` | Configuration file for tcl plugin | No.
`spell.conf` | Configuration file for spell plugin | No.
`trigger.conf` | Configuration file for trigger plugin | Possible, depends on triggers.
`typing.conf` | Configuration file for typing plugin | No.
`xfer.conf` | Configuration file for xfer plugin | No.
`weechat.log` | WeeChat log file | No.

| It is not recommended to edit configuration files by hand because WeeChat may write them at any time (for example on /quit) and after any change you must run the command /reload (with the risk of losing other changes that were not yet saved with /save). You can use the command /set, which checks the value and applies immediately the changes.

## 4. Upgrade

If a new stable version of WeeChat is released, this is time for you to switch to this version.

First of all, you must install the new version of WeeChat, either with your package manager or by compiling yourself, so that the `weechat` binary and all required files are in the same paths.
This can be done while WeeChat is running.

### 4.1. Upgrade command

WeeChat can restart the new binary, in place, using the /upgrade command: the buffer contents and non-TLS connections are preserved.
The TLS connections are lost during upgrade and are restored automatically after the upgrade (reload of TLS sessions is currently not possible with GnuTLS).

The command can also be used if you have to restart the machine, for example to upgrade the kernel or to move your WeeChat to another machine:

    /upgrade -quit

This saves the current state in `*.upgrade` files. You can then either reboot or move the whole WeeChat directories (config, data, cache) to another machine, and restart WeeChat later with this command:

    $ weechat --upgrade

### 4.2. Restart after upgrade

#### Release notes

After an upgrade, it is strongly recommended to read the release notes ↗ which contain important information about breaking changes and some manual actions that could be required.

You must read the release notes of all versions between your old (excluded) and your new version (included).
For example if you switch from version 3.0 to 3.2, you must read release notes of versions 3.1 and 3.2.

#### Configuration upgrade

WeeChat has an automatic upgrade of configuration files (`*.conf`):

- new options are silently added with default value

- obsolete options are automatically discarded and WeeChat displays a warning with the value read from file.

Example of warning when an option has been removed:

    =!= Warning: /home/user/.config/weechat/sec.conf, line 15: unknown option for section "crypt": passphrase_file = ""

That means the option `sec.crypt.passphrase_file` has been removed, and you had value set to empty string, which was the default value in the previous version (in this case no manual action is required).

## 5. Interface

### 5.1. Screen layout

Example of terminal with WeeChat:

     ▼ bar "buflist"   ▼ bar "title"

### 5.2. Command line

WeeChat command line (at the bottom of window) lets you execute commands or send text to buffer.

#### Syntax

Commands begin with "/" char, followed by name of command. For example, to see list of all options:

    /set

Text sent to a buffer is any text that does not begin with "/" char. For example, to send text hello on current buffer:

    hello

However, it is possible to start with "/" char, by adding another. For example, to send text `/set` on current buffer:

    //set

#### Color codes

For some plugins like IRC, you can use color codes and attributes, as follow (press `Ctrl`+`c` then following letter, with optional value):

Key | Description
--- | ---
`Ctrl`+`c`, `b` | Bold text.
`Ctrl`+`c`, `c`, `xx` | Text color `xx` (see list of colors below).
`Ctrl`+`c`, `c`, `xx`, `,`, `yy` | Text color `xx` and background `yy` (see list of colors below).
`Ctrl`+`c`, `i` | Italic text.
`Ctrl`+`c`, `o` | Disable color and attributes.
`Ctrl`+`c`, `v` | Reverse video (revert text color with background).
`Ctrl`+`c`, `_` | Underlined text.

| The same code (without number for `Ctrl`+`c`, `c`) can be used to stop the attribute.

Color codes for `Ctrl`+`c`, `c` are:

| To show all available colors in your terminal, you can do `/color` then `Alt`+`c` in WeeChat or run this command in terminal: `weechat --colors`.

Example: display of "hello Alice!" with "hello" in light blue bold and "Alice" in light red underlined:

    ^Cc12^Cbhello ^Cb^Cc04^C_Alice^C_^Cc!

Keys:

`Ctrl`+`c` `c` `1` `2` `Ctrl`+`c` `b`
`h` `e` `l` `l` `o` `Space`
`Ctrl`+`c` `b` `Ctrl`+`c` `c` `0` `4` `Ctrl`+`c` `_`
`A` `l` `i` `c` `e`
`Ctrl`+`c` `_` `Ctrl`+`c` `c`
`!`

| In irc plugin, you can remap these colors using option irc.color.mirc_remap.

### 5.3. Buffers and windows

A buffer is composed by a number, a name, lines displayed (and some other data).

Examples of buffers:

- core buffer (created by WeeChat on startup, can not be closed)

- irc server (displays messages from server)

- irc channel

- irc private messages

A window is a screen area which displays a buffer. It is possible to split your screen into many windows (examples below, see the /window command for details).

Each window displays one buffer. A buffer can be hidden (not displayed by a window) or displayed by one or more windows.

Screen layouts and the association between windows and buffers can be saved and restored.

#### Examples

Example of horizontal split (`/window splith`):

                                   ▼ window #2 (buffer #4)

#### Bare display

A special display, called "bare display" can be used for easy click on long URLs and selection of text (using the mouse).

The bare display has following features:

- It displays only the content of current buffer: no window split neither bars (no title, nicklist, status, input, …​).

- The WeeChat mouse support is disabled (if it was enabled): you can use your mouse like you do in the terminal to click on URLs and select text.

- Ncurses is not used, therefore URLs are not cut at the end of lines.

The default key to enable bare display is `Alt`+`l` (`L`), and same key to exit (or by default anything changing the input will exit the bare display, see option weechat.look.bare_display_exit_on_input).

The time format can be customized with the option weechat.look.bare_display_time_format.

The bare display can be enabled for a specific delay using the command /window.

If WeeChat looks like that:

### 5.4. Buffers

#### Format of lines

Lines displayed in formatted buffers have following fields:

Field | Displayed | Description
--- | --- | ---
date/time (message) | Yes | Date/time of message (may be past).
date/time (print) | No | Date/time when WeeChat prints the message.
prefix | Yes | Prefix of message, commonly a nick.
message | Yes | The message itself.
displayed | No | Boolean: true if line is displayed, false if line is filtered with command /filter.
highlight | No | Boolean: true if line has a highlight, false otherwise.
tags | With `/debug tags` | Tags associated with the line (see lines tags).

The display of lines can be customized with many look options (weechat.look.*) and color options (weechat.color.chat_*).

#### Lines tags

WeeChat uses tags in lines for different purposes:

- highlight

- notify level

- logging

- use of command /filter

Tags can be displayed with the command `/debug tags` (same command to hide them).

Tags commonly used (non-exhaustive list):

Tag | Description
--- | ---
`no_filter` | Line can not be filtered.
`no_highlight` | No highlight is possible on line.
`no_log` | Line is not written in log file.
`log0 … log9` | Level of log for line (see `/help logger`).
`notify_none` | The line must not be added to hotlist. (1)
`notify_message` | The line is a user message. (1)
`notify_private` | The line is a private message. (1)
`notify_highlight` | The line is a message with highlight. (1)
`self_msg` | Self message.
`nick_xxx` | Message is from nick "xxx".
`prefix_nick_ccc` | Prefix is a nick with color "ccc".
`host_xxx` | Username and host in message.
`irc_xxx` | IRC message "xxx" (can be a command or a 3-digits number).
`irc_numeric` | IRC numeric message.
`irc_error` | Error from IRC server.
`irc_action` | Action from a nick (command `/me`).
`irc_ctcp` | CTCP message.
`irc_ctcp_reply` | Reply to CTCP message.
`irc_smart_filter` | IRC message that can be filtered with the "smart filter".
`away_info` | Message with away info.

| (1) When no tag "notify_xxx" is present, the default level is "low". If a tag "notify_xxx" is present, the real notify level can be different, for example if a max hotlist level is used for a nick, the notify level can be lower than the value in the tag.

#### Local variables

Local variables can be defined in all buffers.

A local variable has:

- a name (string)

- a value (string, can be empty).

Local variables can be set by WeeChat, plugins, scripts, or manually on the command line in the buffer.

For example to add the local variable "completion_default_template":

    /buffer setvar completion_default_template %(my_completion)

To list local variables in the current buffer:

    /buffer listvar

To remove the local variable "completion_default_template":

    /buffer delvar completion_default_template

By default WeeChat and its default plugins interpret these variables:

Name | Value | Description
--- | --- | ---
`away` | any string | Away message on the server, set by irc plugin.
`channel` | any string | Channel name, set by irc/xfer plugins and debug buffer of relay/trigger plugins.
`charset_modifier` | any string | Charset modifier for the server buffer, set by irc plugin.
`completion_default_template` | any string | Default completion template for the buffer, overriding the option `weechat.completion.default_template`.
`filter` | any string | Filter defined on some buffers like `/fset`, `/list` (irc), `/server raw` (irc) and `/script`.
`host` | any string | Self host (if known), set by irc plugin.
`lag` | any string | Lag on the server, set by irc plugin.
`name` | any string | Buffer name (be careful, this is not the full name and this name is not enough to identify or search a buffer).
`nick` | any string | Self nick, set by irc and xfer plugins.
`no_log` | `1` (or any non-empty string) | If set, the logger plugin does not log anything for the buffer.
`plugin` | any string | Name of plugin which created the buffer (`core` for WeeChat buffers).
`script_close_cb` | any string | Close callback defined by a script for a buffer.
`script_close_cb_data` | any string | Data for close callback defined by a script for a buffer.
`script_input_cb` | any string | Input callback defined by a script for a buffer.
`script_input_cb_data` | any string | Data for input callback defined by a script for a buffer.
`script_name` | any string | Name of the script which created the buffer.
`server` | any string | Server name, set by irc plugin and debug buffer of relay/trigger plugins.
`spell_suggest` | any string | Misspelled word and suggestions (format: "misspelled:suggestions"), set by spell plugin.
`trigger_filter` | any string | Trigger filter, set by trigger plugin.
`type` | any string, for example: `channel`, `debug`, `exec`, `option`, `private`, `relay`, `script`, `server`, `user`, `xfer` | Type of buffer, set by WeeChat and many plugins.

Buflist plugin displays a list of buffers in a bar item called "buflist" (four other bar items "buflist2", "buflist3", "buflist4" and "buflist5" are available as well).
A default bar "buflist" is created on startup with this item.

#### Commands

- `buflist`: bar item with list of buffers

    /buflist  enable|disable|toggle
              bar
              refresh [<item>[,<item>...]]

     enable: enable buflist
    disable: disable buflist
     toggle: toggle buflist
        bar: add the "buflist" bar
    refresh: force the refresh of some bar items (if no item is given, all bar items used are refreshed, according to option buflist.look.use_items)

    The lines with buffers are displayed using string evaluation (see /help eval for the format), with these options:
      - buflist.look.display_conditions: conditions to display a buffer in the list
      - buflist.format.buffer: format for a buffer which is not current buffer
      - buflist.format.buffer_current: format for the current buffer

    The following variables can be used in these options:
      - bar item data (see hdata "bar_item" in API doc for a complete list), for example:
        - ${bar_item.name}
      - window data, where the bar item is displayed (there's no window in root bars, see hdata "window" in API doc for a complete list), for example:
        - ${window.number}
        - ${window.buffer.full_name}
      - buffer data (see hdata "buffer" in API doc for a complete list), for example:
        - ${buffer.number}
        - ${buffer.name}
        - ${buffer.full_name}
        - ${buffer.short_name}
        - ${buffer.nicklist_nicks_count}
      - irc_server: IRC server data, defined only on an IRC buffer (see hdata "irc_server" in API doc)
      - irc_channel: IRC channel data, defined only on an IRC channel buffer (see hdata "irc_channel" in API doc)
      - extra variables added by buflist for convenience:
        - ${format_buffer}: the evaluated value of option buflist.format.buffer; this can be used in option buflist.format.buffer_current to just change the background color for example
        - ${current_buffer}: a boolean ("0" or "1"), "1" if this is the current buffer; it can be used in a condition: ${if:${current_buffer}?...:...}
        - ${merged}: a boolean ("0" or "1"), "1" if the buffer is merged with at least another buffer; it can be used in a condition: ${if:${merged}?...:...}
        - ${format_number}: indented number with separator (evaluation of option buflist.format.number)
        - ${number}: indented number, for example " 1" if there are between 10 and 99 buffers; for merged buffers, this variable is set with number for the first buffer and spaces for the next buffers with same number
        - ${number2}: indented number, for example " 1" if there are between 10 and 99 buffers
        - ${number_displayed}: "1" if the number is displayed, otherwise "0"
        - ${indent}: indentation for name (channel, private and list buffers are indented) (evaluation of option buflist.format.indent)
        - ${format_nick_prefix}: colored nick prefix for a channel (evaluation of option buflist.format.nick_prefix)
        - ${color_nick_prefix}: color of nick prefix for a channel (set only if the option buflist.look.nick_prefix is enabled)
        - ${nick_prefix}: nick prefix for a channel (set only if the option buflist.look.nick_prefix is enabled)
        - ${format_name}: formatted name (evaluation of option buflist.format.name)
        - ${name}: the short name (if set), with a fallback on the name
        - ${color_hotlist}: the color depending on the highest hotlist level for the buffer (evaluation of option buflist.format.hotlist_xxx where xxx is the level)
        - ${format_hotlist}: the formatted hotlist (evaluation of option buflist.format.hotlist)
        - ${hotlist}: the raw hotlist
        - ${hotlist_priority}: "none", "low", "message", "private" or "highlight"
        - ${hotlist_priority_number}: -1 = none, 0 = low, 1 = message, 2 = private, 3 = highlight
        - ${format_lag}: the lag for an IRC server buffer, empty if there's no lag (evaluation of option buflist.format.lag)
        - ${format_tls_version}: indicator of TLS version for a server buffer, empty for channels (evaluation of option buflist.format.tls_version)

### 5.6. Cursor mode

The cursor mode allows you to move freely the cursor anywhere on screen, in chat area and bars, and lets you perform actions at the given position.
You can enter in cursor mode either with the command `/cursor` or with a mouse middle click (mouse must have been enabled with key `Alt`+`m` or command `/mouse enable`).

Typical use is to quote messages (chat area) or interact with nicks (nicklist bar).

See command /cursor and key bindings in cursor context for the list of actions you can perform in this mode.

## 6. Key bindings

    Examples:
      show IRC options changed:
        /fset d:irc.*
      show all options with "nicklist" in name:
        /fset nicklist
      show all values which contain "red":
        /fset =red
      show all values which are exactly "red":
        /fset ==red
      show all integer options in irc plugin:
        /fset c:${file} == irc && ${type_en} == integer

### 7.2. Colors

#### Basic colors

Basic colors in WeeChat are:

Name | Color
--- | ---
`default` | Default terminal color (transparent for background)
`black` | Black
`darkgray` | Dark gray
`red` | Dark red
`lightred` | Light red
`green` | Dark green
`lightgreen` | Light green
`brown` | Brown
`yellow` | Yellow
`blue` | Dark blue
`lightblue` | Light blue
`magenta` | Dark magenta
`lightmagenta` | Light magenta
`cyan` | Dark cyan
`lightcyan` | Light cyan
`gray` | Gray
`white` | White

#### Extended colors

WeeChat dynamically allocates color pairs when colors are used on screen (to display buffers and bars).

In addition to basic colors, you can use a color number between 1 and the limit of your terminal.

Use command `/color` to see current colors and limits. With `Alt`+`c` you can temporarily switch to terminal colors to choose a color.

For example if you want to display time in orange in buffer, do:

    /set weechat.color.chat_time 214

Or if you want a very dark green background for status bar:

    /set weechat.bar.status.color_bg 22

#### Aliases

You can add color aliases with command `/color alias` and then use this alias in any color option.

For example:

    /color alias 214 orange
    /set weechat.color.chat_delimiters orange

#### Attributes

It is possible to use some attributes for colors. One or more attributes can be added before color name or number:

- `%`: blink

- `.`: "dim" (half bright)

- `*`: bold text

- `!`: reverse video

- `/`: italic

- `_`: underlined text

- `|`: keep attributes: do not reset blink/dim/bold/reverse/italic/underlined when changing color

For example if you want self nick as white underlined, do:

    /set weechat.color.chat_nick_self _white

Or if you want time in status bar as orange underlined with bold:

    /set weechat.color.status_time *_214

To use an attribute with default terminal color (-1), you must use a number greater than last terminal color, for example max color in WeeChat: 99999.

Example of bold with terminal foreground color:

    /set weechat.color.status_time *99999

### 7.3. Charset

Charset plugin lets you decode or encode data using charsets.

There is default charset for decode/encode, and specific charsets for buffers (or group of buffers).

This plugin is optional, but recommended: if it’s not loaded, WeeChat can only read/write UTF-8 data.

Charset plugin should be autoloaded by WeeChat. To be sure plugin is loaded, try:

    /charset

If command is not found, then load plugin with command:

    /plugin load charset

If plugin is not found, then you should compile again WeeChat with plugins and Charset support.

When Charset plugin starts, it displays terminal and internal charsets. Terminal charset depends on your locale, and internal is UTF-8.

For example:

    charset: terminal: ISO-8859-15, internal: UTF-8

#### Set charset

To set global decode and encode charsets, use command `/set`.

For example:

    /set charset.default.decode ISO-8859-15
    /set charset.default.encode ISO-8859-15

If global decode charset is not set (for example during first load of Charset plugin), it will be automatically set to terminal charset (if it’s different from UTF-8), or by default to ISO-8859-1.

Default encode value is empty, so it sends by default with internal charset (UTF-8).

To set IRC server charset, use command `/charset` on server buffer. If you give only charset, then it will set decoding and encoding values.

For example:

    /charset ISO-8859-15

It’s equivalent to:

    /charset decode ISO-8859-15
    /charset encode ISO-8859-15

To set IRC channel (or private) charset, use same commands as server, but on channel (or private) buffer.

To set charset for all channels/privates of an IRC server:

    /set charset.encode.irc.libera ISO-8859-15

To see all charsets used, use following command:

    /set charset.*

#### Troubleshooting

For any problem with charsets, please look at WeeChat FAQ / Charset ↗.

#### Commands

- `charset`: change charset for current buffer

    /charset  decode|encode <charset>
              reset

     decode: change decoding charset
     encode: change encoding charset
    charset: new charset for current buffer
      reset: reset charsets for current buffer

#### Options

Sections in file charset.conf:

Section | Control command | Description
--- | --- | ---
`default` | `/set charset.default.*` | Default decoding/encoding charset.
`decode` | `/charset decode /set charset.decode.*` | Decoding charset by buffer (options can be added/removed in section).
`encode` | `/charset encode /set charset.encode.*` | Encoding charset by buffer (options can be added/removed in section).

Options:

- charset.default.decode

  - description: global decoding charset: charset used to decode incoming messages when they are not UTF-8 valid

  - type: string

  - values: any string

  - default value: `"iso-8859-1"`

- charset.default.encode

  - description: global encoding charset: charset used to encode outgoing messages (if empty, default is UTF-8 because it is the WeeChat internal charset)

  - type: string

  - values: any string

  - default value: `""`

### 7.4. Notify levels

#### Setup notify levels

Four levels are possible in messages displayed in buffers, from lower to higher:

- low: message with low importance (for example irc join/part/quit)

- message: message from a user

- private: message in a private buffer

- highlight: message with highlight

Each buffer has a notify level, which is used to decide what messages will add buffer in hotlist.

The default notify level can be set using option weechat.look.buffer_notify_default, default is all.

Notify level | Level of messages added to hotlist
--- | ---
`none` | (none)
`highlight` | highlight + private
`message` | highlight + private + message
`all` | highlight + private + message + low

Notify level can be defined for a set of buffers, for example all buffers of irc server "libera":

    /set weechat.notify.irc.libera message

Set notify level highlight on channel "#weechat" only:

    /set weechat.notify.irc.libera.#weechat highlight

The notify level for a buffer can be set with command `/buffer`:

    /buffer notify highlight

#### Max hotlist level for nicks

It is possible to set max hotlist level for some nicks, per buffer, or per group of buffers (like IRC servers).

The buffer property "hotlist_max_level_nicks" can be set with a list of nicks and for each nick the max hotlist level to trigger, possible levels are:

- -1: no hotlist changes for nick

- 0: low priority (like join/part messages)

- 1: message

- 2: private message

- 3: highlight (in fact useless, since it’s already the default max for all messages)

For example to disable highlights from "joe" and "mike" on current buffer:

    /buffer setauto hotlist_max_level_nicks_add joe:2,mike:2

### 7.5. Highlights

#### Disable highlights

You can disable highlights with option weechat.look.highlight_disable_regex (regular expression).
When a highlight is disabled with this option, the other highlight options are ignored.

For example to disable any highlight on messages with a word beginning with "flash" between chevrons:

    /set weechat.look.highlight_disable_regex "<flash.*>"

This can also be set with the buffer property "highlight_disable_regex".

Same example, specific to the current buffer:

    /buffer setauto highlight_disable_regex <flash.*>

#### Add words to highlight

By default, WeeChat highlights messages from other users containing your nick, therefore the highlight depends on the buffer (the nick can be different from one buffer to another).

You can add other words to highlight with the option weechat.look.highlight, for example to highlight your nick and "word1", "word2" and all words beginning with "test":

    /set weechat.look.highlight "word1,word2,test*"

If you need a more specific rule for the word, you can use regular expressions with the option weechat.look.highlight_regex, for example to highlight words "flashcode", "flashcöde" and "flashy":

    /set weechat.look.highlight_regex "flashc[oö]de|flashy"

The delimiters around words to highlight can be customized with the option weechat.look.word_chars_highlight.

#### Add tags to highlight

Lines displayed can contain "tags", which give some info about the origin of message or the message itself.
You can display tags with the command `/debug tags` (same command to hide them).

You can add specific tags to highlight with the option weechat.look.highlight_tags. Tags are separated by commas, and multiple tags can be separated by `+` to do a logical "and" between them.

For example to highlight all messages from nick "FlashCode" and all notices from nicks beginning with "toto":

    /set weechat.look.highlight_tags "nick_flashcode,irc_notice+nick_toto*"

#### Set extra highlights on buffer

You can force highlight using a regular expression with the buffer property "highlight_regex".

For example to force the highlight on all messages in the current buffer:

    /buffer setauto highlight_regex .*

### 7.6. Buffer logging

The Logger plugin lets you save content of buffers to files, with options about what and how it is saved.

#### Log levels

Logging is made with a level for each buffer. Default level is 9 (log all messages displayed on buffer). You can change level for one buffer, or a group of buffers.

Possible levels are 0 to 9. Zero means "do not log anything" and 9 means "log all messages".

Plugins are using different levels for messages displayed. IRC plugin uses following levels:

- level 1: message from user (on channel or private)

- level 2: nick change (you or someone else)

- level 3: any server message (except join/part/quit)

- level 4: server message join/part/quit

So if you set level 3 for an IRC channel, WeeChat will log all messages, but not join/part/quit.

Some examples:

- Set level 3 for IRC channel #weechat:

    /set logger.level.irc.libera.#weechat 3

- Set level 3 for libera server buffer:

    /set logger.level.irc.server.libera 3

- Set level 3 for all channels on server libera:

    /set logger.level.irc.libera 3

- Set level 2 for all IRC buffers:

    /set logger.level.irc 2

#### Filenames masks

It is possible to define a filename mask for each buffer, and use local buffer variables to build filename. To see available local variables for current buffer:

    /buffer listvar

Masks will be matched on options in descending order of specificity on `logger.mask.$plugin.*`, with `logger.file.mask` as fallback option.

For example, on buffer "irc.libera.#weechat", WeeChat will search a mask with option name, in this order:

    logger.mask.irc.libera.#weechat
    logger.mask.irc.libera
    logger.mask.irc
    logger.file.mask

That means you can have masks specific for some IRC servers ("logger.mask.irc.libera") or for a plugin ("logger.mask.irc").

##### Log files by date

To have log files by date, you can use date/time specifiers in mask (see `man strftime` for formats), for example:

    /set logger.file.mask "%Y/%m/$plugin.$name.weechatlog"

You’ll have following files:

    ~/.local/share/weechat
    └── logs
        ├── 2010
        │   ├── 11
        │   │   ├── irc.server.libera.weechatlog

        │   │   └── irc.libera.#weechat.weechatlog
        │   ├── 02
        ...

##### IRC log files by server and channel

If you want one directory by IRC server and one file by channel inside:

    /set logger.mask.irc "irc/$server/$channel.weechatlog"

You’ll have following files:

    ~/.local/share/weechat
    └── logs
        └── irc
            ├── libera
            │   ├── libera.weechatlog
            │   ├── #weechat.weechatlog
            │   └── #mychan.weechatlog
            ├── oftc
            │   ├── oftc.weechatlog
            │   ├── #channel1.weechatlog
            │   └── #channel2.weechatlog
            ...

#### Rotation and compression

It is possible to define a max size for log files, and when it is reached, there is automatic rotation of log file.

The rotated log files can be compressed with gzip or zstd ↗.

| As the compression of a file can take some time, it is performed in background.

Example with a max size of 2GB and compression with gzip, using good compression level (slower than default one):

    /set logger.file.rotation_compression_type gzip
    /set logger.file.rotation_compression_level 80
    /set logger.file.rotation_size_max "2g"

If you want to use a decimal number, you can use the unit below and multiply by 1000, for example to set max size to 2.5GB:

    /set logger.file.rotation_size_max "2500m"

With these settings, you’ll end with files like these ones (in this example there is rotation only for the log of #weechat channel):

    ~/.local/share/weechat
    └── logs
        ├── core.weechat.weechatlog
        ├── irc.server.libera.weechatlog

        ├── irc.libera.#weechat.weechatlog.2.gz
        └── irc.libera.#weechat.weechatlog.3.gz

             set <level>
             flush
             disable

       list: show logging status for opened buffers
        set: set logging level on current buffer
      level: level for messages to be logged (0 = logging disabled, 1 = a few messages (most important) .. 9 = all messages)
      flush: write all log files now
    disable: disable logging on current buffer (set level to 0)

    Options "logger.level.*" and "logger.mask.*" can be used to set level or mask for a buffer, or buffers beginning with name.

    Log levels used by IRC plugin:
      1: user message (channel and private), notice (server and channel)
      2: nick change
      3: server message
      4: join/part/quit
      9: all other messages

    Examples:
      set level to 5 for current buffer:
        /logger set 5
      disable logging for current buffer:
        /logger disable
      set level to 3 for all IRC buffers:
        /set logger.level.irc 3
      disable logging for main WeeChat buffer:
        /set logger.level.core.weechat 0
      use a directory per IRC server and a file per channel inside:
        /set logger.mask.irc "$server/$channel.weechatlog"

### 7.7. Mouse support

WeeChat supports mouse clicks and gestures. It is working with local terminal, and remotely via ssh connection with or without screen/tmux.

#### Enable mouse

To enable mouse at startup:

    /set weechat.look.mouse on

To enable mouse now, press `Alt`+`m` or do following command:

    /mouse enable

It is possible to temporarily disable mouse, and bind that on a key. For example key `Alt`+`%` to disable mouse for 10 seconds:

    /key bind meta-% /mouse toggle 10

| When mouse is enabled in WeeChat, all mouse events are caught by WeeChat, so actions such as copy/paste or clicks on URLs are not sent to the terminal. Using `Shift` key causes the events to be sent directly to the terminal, as if the mouse was disabled (on some terminals like iTerm, you have to use `Alt` instead of `Shift`).

| For any problem with mouse, please look at WeeChat FAQ / Mouse ↗.

#### Bind mouse events to commands

Many default mouse events are already defined by WeeChat (see mouse actions).

You can change or add bindings with the command `/key` using context "mouse" (for syntax, see command /key).

Event name consists of a modifier (optional), a button/wheel name and a gesture (optional). Different elements are separated by `-`.

List of modifiers:

Modifier | Description
--- | ---
`ctrl` | Key `Ctrl`
`alt` | Key `Alt`
`ctrl-alt` | Keys `Ctrl` + `Alt`

List of buttons/wheel:

Button/wheel | Description
--- | ---
`button1` | Click on left button
`button2` | Click on right button
`button3` | Click on middle button (often click on wheel)
`button4 …​ button9` | Click on extra buttons
`wheelup` | Wheel (up)
`wheeldown` | Wheel (down)

List of gestures (only for buttons, not wheel):

Gesture | Distance
--- | ---
`gesture-up` | 3 …​ 19
`gesture-up-long` | ≥ 20
`gesture-down` | 3 …​ 19
`gesture-down-long` | ≥ 20
`gesture-left` | 3 …​ 39
`gesture-left-long` | ≥ 40
`gesture-right` | 3 …​ 39
`gesture-right-long` | ≥ 40

List of incomplete events (only for buttons, useful for plugins/scripts):

Event | Description
--- | ---
`event-down` | Button was pressed but not released yet
`event-drag` | Mouse was moved with button pressed down

Example of events:

- `button1`

- `ctrl-button1`

- `button1-gesture-right`

- `button1-event-down`

- `button1-event-drag`

- `alt-button2-gesture-down-long`

- `wheelup`

- `ctrl-alt-wheeldown`

- …​

| When binding a key in context "mouse", it’s possible to match many events using `*` at beginning or end of name, for example `button1-gesture-*` will match any gesture made using left button.

| You can find an event name with command `/input grab_mouse` then doing event with mouse. This will insert event name on command line.

### 7.8. Spell checking

Spell plugin lets you check spelling in command line. It is possible to use many languages by buffer.

Spell checking is disabled by default and can be toggled with key `Alt`+`s`.

#### Dictionaries

Before using spell checking, dictionaries must be defined, either globally or specific to buffers.

Multiple dictionaries can be used at same time: WeeChat will check words in all dictionaries.

For example to use English and French:

    /set spell.check.default_dict "en,fr"

It is possible to use a different dictionary on a specific buffer, for example on a German channel:

    /spell setdict de

You can also specify a dictionary for a group of buffers, for example English for all channels on libera IRC server:

    /set spell.dict.irc.libera en

For more information, see the command /spell.

#### Speller options

Speller options can be defined by adding options in section "option" of aspell configuration.

The option name is an aspell configuration option. List of options can be found in a shell with following command:

    $ aspell config

For example, to enable option "ignore-case":

    /set spell.option.ignore-case "true"

#### Suggestions

Suggestions are displayed in a bar item called "spell_suggest". The number of suggestions is set in option spell.check.suggestions.

To enable suggestions you must set option spell.check.suggestions to an integer ≥ 0 and add the bar item "spell_suggest" to a bar, like status.

Example of suggestions with English dictionary (`en`):

    │[12:55] [6] [irc/libera] 3:#test(+n){4} [print,prone,prune]                      │
    │[@Flashy] prinr █                                                                │
    └─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

Example of suggestions with English and French dictionaries (`en,fr`):

    │[12:55] [6] [irc/libera] 3:#test(+n){4} [print,prone,prune/prime,primer,primé]   │
    │[@Flashy] prinr █                                                                │
    └─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

#### Commands

- `spell`: spell plugin configuration

    /spell  enable|disable|toggle
            listdict
            setdict -|<dict>[,<dict>...]
            deldict
            addword [<dict>] <word>

      enable: enable spell checker
     disable: disable spell checker
      toggle: toggle spell checker
    listdict: show installed dictionaries
     setdict: set dictionary for current buffer (multiple dictionaries can be separated by a comma, the special value "-" disables spell checking on current buffer)
     deldict: delete dictionary used on current buffer
     addword: add a word in personal dictionary

    Input line beginning with a '/' is not checked, except for some commands (see /set spell.check.commands).

    To enable spell checker on all buffers, use option "default_dict", then enable spell checker, for example:
      /set spell.check.default_dict "en"
      /spell enable

    To display a list of suggestions in a bar, use item "spell_suggest".

    Default key to toggle spell checker is alt-s.

### 7.9. Bars

A bar is an area beside the chat that can contain any type of text.

The bar options can be set with options `weechat.bar.name.option` where `name` is the name of the bar and `option` the option for this bar.

List of bar options:

Option | Values | Description
--- | --- | ---
`type` | `root`, `window` | A bar with type `root` is displayed exactly one time on screen, outside all windows. The default bar buflist has type `root`. A bar with type `window` is displayed in each window, for example if you split one time the screen (with `/window splith` or `/window splitv`), you will have one bar in each window. The default bars title, status, input and nicklist have type `window`.
`position` | `top`, `bottom`, `left`, `right` | Position of the bar: above/below chat, on the left/right.
`priority` | integer ≥ 0 | Priority for display of bar: this is used for ordering the bars on screen when many bars have same type and position. The bars are displayed from the edge of the screen to the center. A higher priority will display bar at the beginning, so closer to the edge. Example: input bar has priority 1000, so it is displayed before the status bar, which has priority 500.
`size` | integer ≥ 0 | The size of the bar: number of columns for position left/right, number of lines for position top/bottom. A size of `0` means automatic, so the size will be computed according to content displayed in bar.
`size_max` | integer ≥ 0 | The maximum size for a bar, `0` = no limit (this option is used only if `size` = `0`).
`color_bg` | color | The default background color for the bar.
`color_fg` | color | The default text color for the bar.
`color_delim` | color | The color for delimiters in bar.
`hidden` | `on`, `off` | When option is `on`, the bar is hidden. Note: instead of changing this option, the command `/bar` is preferred, for example: `/bar toggle nicklist` (see command /bar).
`separator` | `on`, `off` | When option is `on`, a separator (line) is displayed between this bar and other bars (or chat).
`items` | string | A list of items (see items for more info).
`filling_left_right` | `horizontal`, `vertical`, `columns_horizontal`, `columns_vertical` | Type of filling for a bar which has position `left` or `right` (see filling for more info).
`filling_top_bottom` | `horizontal`, `vertical`, `columns_horizontal`, `columns_vertical` | Type of filling for a bar which has position `top` or `bottom` (see filling for more info).
`conditions` | string | The conditions to display the bar (see conditions for more info).

#### Items

The option items is a string with a list of bar items, separated by a comma (space between items on screen) or `+` (glued items).

The list of bar items is displayed with command `/bar listitems`.

Before or after item name, you can use chars (that are not alphanumeric, `-` or `_`). They will be displayed before/after item with the delimiters color defined in bar (option color_delim).

Example of bar with items "[time],buffer_number+:+buffer_plugin+.+buffer_name,[buffer_last_number]":

    ┌───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
    │[12:55] 3:irc/libera.#weechat [9]                                          │
    └───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

##### Spacer item

An item called `spacer` can be used to align items (left, center, right).

When at least one `spacer` item is used in a bar, the whole bar width is used: the spacers auto expand with the same size (or almost).
When the bar is not large enough for all items, spacers are not displayed.

| The `spacer` bar item can be used only in bars with position `top` or `bottom`, filling `horizontal` and size `1`.

Example of bar with items "[time],spacer,buffer_number+:+buffer_plugin+.+buffer_name,spacer,[buffer_last_number]":

    ┌───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
    │[12:55]                      3:irc/libera.#weechat                      [9]│
    └───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

##### Force buffer

A special syntax can be used to force the buffer used when displaying the bar item: "@buffer:item" (where "buffer" is the full name of buffer and "item" is the name of a bar item).

This is useful in root bars, to display item for a specific buffer which is not displayed in the current window (or even not displayed at all).

Example: nicklist of bitlbee in a root bar (if the bar is called bitlist and if bitlbee server is called bitlbee):

    /set weechat.bar.bitlist.items "@irc.bitlbee.&bitlbee:buffer_nicklist"

##### Custom bar items

Custom bar items can be added with the /item command, each new item having two properties defined via configuration options:

- `conditions`: evaluated conditions to display the bar item, for example to restrict the bar item to some specific buffers (if empty, the bar item is displayed everywhere)

- `content`: evaluated content of bar item.

In both options, the following variables can be used:

- `window`: pointer to the window where the bar is displayed (`NULL` for root bars)

- `buffer`: pointer to buffer where the bar is displayed (current buffer for root bars).

Examples of conditions:

Condition | Description
--- | ---
`${window}` | Displayed in window bars only
`${buffer.number} == 1` | Displayed in all buffers with number = 1
`${buffer.plugin.name} == irc` | Displayed in all IRC buffers
`${type} == channel` | Displayed in all buffers where local variable `type` is set to `channel` (example: all IRC channels)
`${type} == private` | Displayed in all buffers where local variable `type` is set to `private` (example: all IRC private buffers)

| There’s no builtin way to refresh the custom bar items. You can use the Trigger plugin to force the refresh, for example via one or more signals received.

For more information and examples, see the /item command.

#### Filling

There are four types of filling:

- `horizontal`: the items are displayed horizontally, from left to right. If there are new lines in items, a space is used to separate lines.

- `vertical`: the items are displayed from top to bottom. If there are new lines in items, a new line is used to separate lines.

- `columns_horizontal`: items are displayed using columns, where text is aligned on the left. The first item is on top left, the second is on same line, on the right.

- `columns_vertical`: items are displayed using columns, where text is aligned on the left. The first item is on top left, the second is one line below.

Default bars title, status and input have horizontal filling, and default bar nicklist has vertical filling.

Some examples of filling for bar nicklist:

#### Conditions

The option conditions is a string which is evaluated to know if the bar must be displayed or not.

The string can be:

- active: the window must be active

- inactive: the window must be inactive

- nicklist: the buffer displayed in window must have a nicklist

- an expression: it is evaluated as boolean (see command /eval)

For the expression, following variables are available:

- `${active}`: true if window is active

- `${inactive}`: true if window is inactive

- `${nicklist}`: true if buffer displayed in window has a nicklist

Following pointers are available:

- `${window}`: the window where condition is evaluated

- `${buffer}`: the buffer of window where condition is evaluated

Example to display nicklist bar in all buffers with a nicklist, and only if width of terminal is > 100:

    /set weechat.bar.nicklist.conditions "${nicklist} && ${info:term_width} > 100"

Same condition, but always display nicklist on buffer &bitlbee (even if terminal is small):

    /set weechat.bar.nicklist.conditions "${nicklist} && (${info:term_width} > 100 || ${buffer.full_name} == irc.bitlbee.&bitlbee)"

### 7.10. Secured data

#### Storage

WeeChat can encrypt passwords or private data using secured data, stored in file sec.conf.

This configuration file is read before any other file, and the values stored inside can be used in various WeeChat or plugins/scripts options.

You can set a passphrase to encrypt data in sec.conf. This is not mandatory but highly recommended, otherwise data is stored as plain text in file.

    /secure passphrase this is my passphrase

##### Passphrase on startup

When a passphrase is set, WeeChat will ask you to enter it on startup (but not on `/upgrade`).

If you are using a password manager, you can run an external program to read the passphrase instead of having to type it manually on WeeChat startup.
For example with password-store (command `pass`):

    /set sec.crypt.passphrase_command "/usr/bin/pass show weechat/passphrase"

The program may ask you unlock your GPG key or enter another passphrase to read the secret. WeeChat will wait for the end of the command to read the passphrase on the standard output (it must be on the first line without any extra character).
If the output contains no passphrase or if it is wrong, WeeChat will then ask you to enter it.

##### Encryption

The encryption of data is made in 3 steps:

1. Derive a key from the passphrase (with optional salt).

2. Compute hash of data to encrypt.

3. Encrypt the hash + data (output is: salt + encrypted hash/data).

| The cipher block mode is CFB.

The result is put as hexadecimal string in file sec.conf, for example:

    [data]
    __passphrase__ = on
    libera = "53B1C86FCDA28FC122A95B0456ABD79B5AB74654F21C3D099A6CCA8173239EEA59533A1D83011251F96778AC3F5166A394"

##### Decryption

The decryption of data is made in 3 steps:

1. Derive a key using salt and passphrase.

2. Decrypt hash + data.

3. Check that decrypted hash == hash of data.

#### Manage secured data

To add secured data, use `/secure set`, for example a password for libera IRC server:

    /secure set libera mypassword

For comfort, secured data can be displayed in a dedicated buffer (`Alt`+`v` on buffer to see values), just do:

    /secure

Secured data can be used in some options that can contain private data like password, using this format: "${sec.data.xxx}" where "xxx" is the name of secured data (used with `/secure set xxx …​`).
For a complete list of supported options, see `/help secure`.

To use the libera password, for example with SASL authentication:

    /set irc.server.libera.sasl_password "${sec.data.libera}"

### 7.11. Command aliases

Alias plugin lets you create alias for commands (from WeeChat or other plugins).

Some aliases are created by default, with name in upper case (to make them different from standard commands); commands are not case sensitive in WeeChat, so for example `/close` runs the alias `/CLOSE`.

List of default aliases:

Alias | Command | Completion
--- | --- | ---
`/aaway` | `/allserv /away` | -
`/anick` | `/allserv /nick` | -
`/beep` | `/print -beep` | -
`/bye` | `/quit` | -
`/c` | `/buffer clear` | -
`/cl` | `/buffer clear` | -
`/close` | `/buffer close` | -
`/chat` | `/dcc chat` | -
`/exit` | `/quit` | -
`/ig` | `/ignore` | -
`/j` | `/join` | -
`/k` | `/kick` | -
`/kb` | `/kickban` | -
`/leave` | `/part` | -
`/m` | `/msg` | -
`/mub` | `/unban *` | -
`/msgbuf` | `/command -buffer $1 * /input send $2-` | %(buffers_plugins_names)
`/n` | `/names` | -
`/q` | `/query` | -
`/redraw` | `/window refresh` | -
`/say` | `/msg *` | -
`/signoff` | `/quit` | -
`/t` | `/topic` | -
`/ub` | `/unban` | -
`/umode` | `/mode $nick` | -
`/v` | `/command core version` | -
`/w` | `/who` | -
`/wc` | `/window close` | -
`/wi` | `/whois` | -
`/wii` | `/whois $1 $1` | -
`/wm` | `/window merge` | -
`/ww` | `/whowas` | -

          -o: send terminal/colors info to current buffer as input

    Without argument, this command displays colors in a new buffer.

    Examples:
      add alias "orange" for color 214:
        /color alias 214 orange
      delete color 214:
        /color unalias 214

- `command`: launch explicit WeeChat or plugin command

    /command  [-buffer <name>] <plugin> <command>

    -buffer: execute the command on this buffer
     plugin: execute the command from this plugin; 'core' for a WeeChat command, '*' for automatic plugin (it depends on the buffer where the command is executed)
    command: command to execute (a '/' is automatically added if not found at beginning of command)

- `cursor`: free movement of cursor on screen to execute actions on specific areas of screen

    /cursor  go chat|<bar> [top_left|top_right|bottom_left|bottom_right]
             go <x>,<y>
             move up|down|left|right|top_left|top_right|bottom_left|bottom_right|edge_top|edge_bottom|edge_left|edge_right|area_up|area_down|area_left|area_right
             stop

      go: move cursor to chat area, a bar (using bar name) or coordinates "x,y"
    move: move cursor with direction
    stop: stop cursor mode

    Without argument, this command toggles cursor mode.

    When mouse is enabled (see /help mouse), by default a middle click will start cursor mode at this point.

    Default keys in cursor mode on chat messages:
      m  quote message
      q  quote prefix + message
      Q  quote time + prefix + message

    Default keys in cursor mode on nicklist:
      b  ban nick (/ban)
      k  kick nick (/kick)
      K  kick and ban nick (/kickban)
      q  open query with nick (/query)
      w  query information about user (/whois)

    Other default keys in cursor mode:
      arrow      move cursor
      alt+arrow  move cursor to the next area
      enter      exit cursor mode

    Examples:
      go to the bottom left corner of chat area:
        /cursor go chat bottom_left
      go to nicklist:
        /cursor go nicklist
      go to coordinates x=10, y=5:
        /cursor go 10,5

                    ==   equal
                    !=   not equal
                    <=   less or equal
                    <    less
                    >=   greater or equal
                    >    greater
                    =~   is matching POSIX extended regex
                    !~   is NOT matching POSIX extended regex
                    ==*  is matching mask, case sensitive (wildcard "*" is allowed)
                    !!*  is NOT matching mask, case sensitive (wildcard "*" is allowed)
                    =*   is matching mask, case insensitive (wildcard "*" is allowed)
                    !*   is NOT matching mask, case insensitive (wildcard "*" is allowed)
                    ==-  is included, case sensitive
                    !!-  is NOT included, case sensitive
                    =-   is included, case insensitive
                    !-   is NOT included, case insensitive

    An expression is considered as "true" if it is not NULL, not empty, and different from "0".
    The comparison is made using floating point numbers if the two expressions are valid numbers, with one of the following formats:
      - integer (examples: 5, -7)
      - floating point number (examples: 5.2, -7.5, 2.83e-2)
      - hexadecimal number (examples: 0xA3, -0xA3)
    To force a string comparison, you can add double quotes around each expression, for example:
      50 > 100      ==> 0
      "50" > "100"  ==> 1

    Some variables are replaced in expression, using the format ${variable}, variable can be, by order of priority:
      - the string itself without evaluation (format: "raw:xxx")
      - a user-defined variable (format: "name")
      - an evaluated sub-string (format: "eval:xxx")
      - an evaluated condition (format: "eval_cond:xxx")
      - a string with escaped chars (format: "esc:xxx" or "\xxx")
      - a string with a range of chars (format: "chars:xxx" or "chars:c1-c2" where "xxx" is one of: "digit", "xdigit", "lower", "upper", "alpha", "alnum")
      - a string converted to lower case (format: "lower:xxx")
      - a string converted to upper case (format: "upper:xxx")
      - a string with chars to hide (format: "hide:char,string")
      - a string with max chars (format: "cut:max,suffix,string" or "cut:+max,suffix,string")
         or max chars displayed on screen (format: "cutscr:max,suffix,string" or "cutscr:+max,suffix,string")
      - a reversed string (format: "rev:xxx" or "revscr:xxx")
      - a repeated string (format: "repeat:count,string")
      - length of a string (format: "length:xxx" or "lengthscr:xxx")
      - split of a string (format: "split:number,separators,flags,xxx")
      - split of shell argmuents (format: "split_shell:number,xxx")
      - a color (format: "color:xxx", see "Plugin API reference", function "color")
      - a modifier (format: "modifier:name,data,string")
      - an info (format: "info:name,arguments", arguments are optional)
      - a base 16/32/64 encoded/decoded string (format: "base_encode:base,xxx" or "base_decode:base,xxx")
      - current date/time (format: "date" or "date:format")
      - an environment variable (format: "env:XXX")
      - a ternary operator (format: "if:condition?value_if_true:value_if_false")
      - result of an expression with parentheses and operators + - * / // % ** (format: "calc:xxx")
      - a random integer number (format: "random:min,max")
      - a translated string (format: "translate:xxx")
      - define a user variable (format: "define:name,value")
      - an option (format: "file.section.option")
      - a local variable in buffer
      - a hdata name/variable (the value is automatically converted to string), by default "window" and "buffer" point to current window/buffer.
    Format for hdata can be one of following:
      hdata.var1.var2...: start with a hdata (pointer must be known), and ask variables one after one (other hdata can be followed)
      hdata[list].var1.var2...: start with a hdata using a list/pointer/pointer name, for example:
        ${buffer[gui_buffers].full_name}: full name of first buffer in linked list of buffers
        ${plugin[weechat_plugins].name}: name of first plugin in linked list of plugins
      hdata[pointer].var1.var2...: start with a hdata using a pointer, for example:
        ${buffer[0x1234abcd].full_name}: full name of the buffer with this pointer (can be used in triggers)
        ${buffer[my_pointer].full_name}: full name of the buffer with this pointer name (can be used in triggers)
      hdata[pointer].var1.method(): when var1 is a hashtable, methods "keys()", "values()", "keys_sorted()", "keys_values()" and "keys_values_sorted()" can be called
    For name of hdata and variables, please look at "Plugin API reference", function "weechat_hdata_get".

        rename: rename a filter
      recreate: set input with the command used to edit the filter
           del: delete a filter
          -all: delete all filters
        buffer: comma separated list of buffers where filter is active:
                - this is full name including plugin (example: "irc.libera.#weechat" or "irc.server.libera")
                - "*" means all buffers
                - a name starting with '!' is excluded
                - wildcard "*" is allowed
       tags: comma separated list of tags, for example "irc_join,irc_part,irc_quit"
                - logical "and": use "+" between tags (for example: "nick_toto+irc_action")
                - wildcard "*" is allowed
                - if tag starts with '!', then it is excluded and must NOT be in message
      regex: POSIX extended regular expression to search in line
                - use '\t' to separate prefix from message, special chars like '|' must be escaped: '\|'
                - if regex starts with '!', then matching result is reversed (use '\!' to start with '!')
                - two regular expressions are created: one for prefix and one for message
                - regex are case insensitive, they can start by "(?-i)" to become case sensitive

    The default key alt+'=' toggles filtering on/off globally and alt+'-' toggles filtering on/off in the current buffer.

    Tags most commonly used:
      no_filter, no_highlight, no_log, log0..log9 (log level),
      notify_none, notify_message, notify_private, notify_highlight,
      self_msg, nick_xxx (xxx is nick in message), prefix_nick_ccc (ccc is color of nick),
      host_xxx (xxx is username + host in message),
      irc_xxx (xxx is command name or number, see /server raw or /debug tags),
      irc_numeric, irc_error, irc_action, irc_ctcp, irc_ctcp_reply, irc_smart_filter, away_info.
    To see tags for lines in buffers: /debug tags

    Examples:
      use IRC smart filter on all buffers:
        /filter add irc_smart * irc_smart_filter *
      use IRC smart filter on all buffers except those with "#weechat" in name:
        /filter add irc_smart *,!*#weechat* irc_smart_filter *
      filter all IRC join/part/quit messages:
        /filter add joinquit * irc_join,irc_part,irc_quit *

      filter IRC join/action messages from nick "toto":
        /filter add toto * nick_toto+irc_join,nick_toto+irc_action *
      filter lines containing "weechat sucks" on IRC channel #weechat:
        /filter add sucks irc.libera.#weechat * weechat sucks

      delete item "lines_count":
        /item del lines_count

- `key`: bind/unbind keys

    /key  [list|listdefault|listdiff] [<context>]
          bind <key> [<command> [<args>]]
          bindctxt <context> <key> [<command> [<args>]]
          unbind <key>
          unbindctxt <context> <key>
          reset <key>
          resetctxt <context> <key>
          resetall -yes [<context>]
          missing [<context>]
          legacy <key> [<key>...]

           list: list all current keys
    listdefault: list default keys
       listdiff: list differences between current and default keys (keys added, redefined or deleted)
        context: name of context ("default" or "search")
           bind: bind a command to a key or display command bound to key (for context "default")
       bindctxt: bind a command to a key or display command bound to key, for given context
        command: command (many commands can be separated by semicolons); quotes can be used to preserve spaces at the beginning/end of command
         unbind: remove a key binding (for context "default")
     unbindctxt: remove a key binding for given context
          reset: reset a key to default binding (for context "default")
      resetctxt: reset a key to default binding, for given context
       resetall: restore bindings to the default values and delete ALL personal bindings (use carefully!)
        missing: add missing keys (using default bindings), useful after installing new WeeChat version
         legacy: display new name for legacy keys

    When binding a command to a key, it is recommended to use key alt+k (or Esc then k), and then press the key to bind: this will insert key name in command line.

    For some keys you might need to use /debug key, this displays the raw key code that can be used (for example the key ctrl+backspace could be "ctrl-h" or "ctrl-?", depending on your terminal and other settings).

    Modifiers allowed (in this order when multiple are used):
      meta-  (alt key)
      ctrl-  (control key)
      shift-  (shift key, can only be used with key names below)

    Key names allowed: f0 to f20, home, insert, delete, end, backspace, pgup, pgdn, up, down, right, left, tab, return, comma, space.

    Combo of keys must be separated by a comma.

    For context "mouse" (possible in context "cursor" too), key has format: "@area:key" or "@area1>area2:key" where area can be:
              *: any area on screen
           chat: chat area (any buffer)
      chat(xxx): chat area for buffer with name "xxx" (full name including plugin)
         bar(*): any bar
       bar(xxx): bar "xxx"
        item(*): any bar item
      item(xxx): bar item "xxx"
    Wildcard "*" is allowed in key to match many mouse events.
    A special value for command with format "hsignal:name" can be used for context mouse, this will send the hsignal "name" with the focus hashtable as argument.
    Another special value "-" can be used to disable key (it will be ignored when looking for keys).

    Examples:
      key alt-r to jump to #weechat IRC channel:
        /key bind meta-r /buffer #weechat
      restore default binding for key alt-r:
        /key reset meta-r
      key meta-v then f1 to run /help:
        /key bind meta-v,f1 /help
      key "tab" to stop search in buffer:
        /key bindctxt search tab /input search_stop
      middle button of mouse on a nick to retrieve info on nick:
        /key bindctxt mouse @item(buffer_nicklist):button3 /msg nickserv info ${nick}

- `layout`: manage buffers/windows layouts

    /layout  store [<name>] [buffers|windows]
             apply [<name>] [buffers|windows]
             leave
             del [<name>] [buffers|windows]
             rename <name> <new_name>

      store: store current buffers/windows in a layout
      apply: apply stored layout
      leave: leave current layout (does not update any layout)
        del: delete buffers and/or windows in a stored layout
             (if neither "buffers" nor "windows" is given after the name, the layout is deleted)
     rename: rename a layout
       name: name for stored layout (default is "default")
    buffers: store/apply only buffers (order of buffers)
    windows: store/apply only windows (buffer displayed by each window)

    Without argument, this command displays stored layouts.

    The current layout can be saved on /quit command with the option "weechat.look.save_layout_on_exit".

    Note: the layout only remembers windows split and buffers numbers. It does not open buffers. That means for example you must still auto-join IRC channels to open the buffers, the saved layout only applies once the buffers are opened.

- `mouse`: mouse control

    /mouse  enable|disable|toggle [<delay>]

     enable: enable mouse
    disable: disable mouse
     toggle: toggle mouse
      delay: delay (in seconds) after which initial mouse state is restored (useful to temporarily disable mouse)

    The mouse state is saved in option "weechat.look.mouse".

    Examples:
      enable mouse:
        /mouse enable
      toggle mouse for 5 seconds:
        /mouse toggle 5

    If no target is specified (-core, -current or -buffer), then default is to mute all buffers.

    Examples:
      config save:
        /mute save
      message to current IRC channel:
        /mute -current msg * hi!

         -yes: required if option "weechat.look.confirm_quit" is enabled
    arguments: text sent with signal "quit"
               (for example irc plugin uses this text to send quit message to server)

    By default when quitting the configuration files are saved (see option "weechat.look.save_config_on_exit") and the current layout can be saved (see option "weechat.look.save_layout_on_exit").

- `reload`: reload configuration files from disk

    /reload  [<file> [<file>...]]

               ${buffer}: buffer pointer
               ${repeat_count}: number of times the command is executed
               ${repeat_index}: current index (from 1 to "count")
               ${repeat_index0}: current index (from 0 to "count" - 1)
               ${repeat_revindex}: current index from the end (from "count" to 1)
               ${repeat_revindex0}: current index from the end (from "count" - 1 to 0)
               ${repeat_first}: "1" for the first execution, "0" for the others
               ${repeat_last}: "1" for the last execution, "0" for the others

    Note: the command is executed on buffer where /repeat was executed (if the buffer does not exist any more, the command is not executed).

    Example:
      scroll 2 pages up:
        /repeat 2 /window page_up
      print a countdown, starting at 5:

        /reset weechat.look.item_time_format
      reset all color options:
        /reset -mask weechat.color.*

- `save`: save configuration files to disk

    /save  [<file> [<file>...]]

    file: configuration file to save (without extension ".conf")

    Without argument, all files (WeeChat and plugins) are saved.

    By default all configuration files are saved to disk on /quit command (see option "weechat.look.save_config_on_exit").

- `secure`: manage secured data (passwords or private data encrypted in file sec.conf)

    /secure  passphrase <passphrase>|-delete
             decrypt <passphrase>|-discard
             set <name> <value>
             del <name>

    passphrase: change the passphrase (without passphrase, data is stored as plain text in file sec.conf)
       -delete: delete passphrase
       decrypt: decrypt data still encrypted (it happens only if passphrase was not given on startup)
      -discard: discard all data still encrypted
           set: add or change secured data
           del: delete secured data

    Without argument, this command displays secured data in a new buffer.

    Keys on secure buffer:
      alt+v  toggle values

    When a passphrase is used (data encrypted), it is asked by WeeChat on startup.
    It is possible to set environment variable "WEECHAT_PASSPHRASE" to prevent the prompt (this same variable is used by WeeChat on /upgrade), or to set option sec.crypt.passphrase_command to read the passphrase from the output of an external command like a password manager (see /help sec.crypt.passphrase_command).

    Secured data with format ${sec.data.xxx} can be used in:
      - command /eval
      - command line argument "--run-command"
      - options weechat.startup.command_{before|after}_plugins
      - other options that may contain a password or sensitive data (for example proxy, irc server and relay); see /help on the options to check if they are evaluated.

    Examples:
      set a passphrase:
        /secure passphrase this is my passphrase
      use program "pass" to read the passphrase on startup:
        /set sec.crypt.passphrase_command "/usr/bin/pass show weechat/passphrase"
      encrypt libera SASL password:
        /secure set libera mypassword
        /set irc.server.libera.sasl_password "${sec.data.libera}"
      encrypt oftc password for nickserv:
        /secure set oftc mypassword
        /set irc.server.oftc.command "/msg nickserv identify ${sec.data.oftc}"
      alias to ghost the nick "mynick":
        /alias add ghost /eval /msg -server libera nickserv ghost mynick ${sec.data.libera}

- `set`: set config options and environment variables

    /set  [<option> [<value>]]
          diff [<option> [<option>...]]
          env [<variable> [<value>]]

    option: name of an option (wildcard "*" is allowed to list options, if no value is specified)
     value: new value for option, according to type:
              boolean: on, off or toggle
              integer: number, ++number or --number
               string: any string ("" for empty string)
                color: color name, ++number or --number
            Note: for all types, you can use null to remove option value (undefined value). This works only for some special plugin variables.
      diff: display only changed options
       env: display or set an environment variable (use value "" to unset a variable)

    Examples:
      display options about highlight:
        /set *highlight*
      add a word to highlight:
        /set weechat.look.highlight "word"
      display changed options:
        /set diff
      display changed options in irc plugin:
        /set diff irc.*
      display value of environment variable LANG:
        /set env LANG
      set environment variable LANG and use it:
        /set env LANG fr_FR.UTF-8
        /upgrade
      unset environment variable ABC:
        /set env ABC ""

- `sys`: system actions

    /sys  get rlimit|rusage

     rusage: display resource usage (see "man getrusage")
    suspend: suspend WeeChat and go back to the shell, by sending signal SIGTSTP to the WeeChat process
    waitpid: acknowledge the end of children processes (to prevent "zombie" processes)

- `toggle`: toggle value of a config option

    /toggle  <option> [<value> [<value>...]]

    option: name of an option
     value: possible values for the option (values are split like the shell command arguments: quotes can be used to preserve spaces at the beginning/end of values)

    Behavior:
      - only an option of type boolean or string can be toggled without a value:
          - boolean: toggle between on/off according to current value
          - string: toggle between empty string and default value (works only if empty string is allowed for the option)
      - with a single value given, toggle between this value and the default value of option
      - with multiple values given, toggle between these values: the value used is the one following the current value of option; if the current value of option is not in list, the first value in the list is used
      - the special value "null" can be given, but only as first value in the list and without quotes around.

    Examples:
      toggle display of time in chat area (without displaying the new value used):
        /mute /toggle weechat.look.buffer_time_format
      switch format of time in chat area (with seconds, without seconds, disabled):
        /toggle weechat.look.buffer_time_format "%H:%M:%S" "%H:%M" ""
      toggle autojoin of #weechat channel on libera server:
        /toggle irc.server.libera.autojoin null #weechat

- `unset`: unset/reset config options

    /unset  <option>
            -mask <option>

    option: name of an option
     -mask: use a mask in option (wildcard "*" is allowed to mass-reset options, use carefully!)

    According to option, it's reset (for standard options) or removed (for optional settings, like server values).

    Examples:
      reset one option:
        /unset weechat.look.item_time_format
      reset all color options:
        /unset -mask weechat.color.*

- `upgrade`: save WeeChat session and reload the WeeChat binary without disconnecting from servers

    /upgrade  [-yes] [<path_to_binary>|-save|-quit]

              -yes: required if option "weechat.look.confirm_upgrade" is enabled
    path_to_binary: path to WeeChat binary (default is current binary)
            -dummy: do nothing (option used to prevent accidental completion with "-quit")
             -save: only save the session, do not quit nor reload WeeChat; the configuration files are not saved (if needed you can use /save before this command)
             -quit: close *ALL* connections, save session and quit WeeChat, which makes possible a delayed restoration (see below)

    This command upgrades and reloads a running WeeChat session. The new WeeChat binary must have been compiled or installed with a package manager before running this command.

    Note: TLS connections are lost during upgrade (except with -save), because the reload of TLS sessions is currently not possible with GnuTLS. There is automatic reconnection after upgrade.

    Important: use of option -save can be dangerous, it is recommended to use only /upgrade (or with -quit) for a standard upgrade and a restart; the option -save can be used to save the session regularly and restore it in case of after abnormal exit (power outage, crash, etc.)

    Upgrade process has 4 steps:
      1. save session into files for core and plugins (buffers, history, ..)
      2. unload all plugins (configuration files (*.conf) are written on disk)
      3. save WeeChat configuration (weechat.conf)
      4. execute new WeeChat binary and reload session.

    With option "-quit", the process is:
      1. close *ALL* connections (irc, xfer, relay, ...)
      2. save session into files (*.upgrade)
      3. unload all plugins
      4. save WeeChat configuration
      5. quit WeeChat

    With option "-save", the process is:
      1. save session into files (*.upgrade) with a disconnected state for IRC servers and Relay clients (but no disconnection is made)

    With -quit or -save, you can restore the session later with this command: weechat --upgrade
    IMPORTANT: you must restore the session with exactly same configuration (files *.conf) and if possible the same WeeChat version (or a more recent one).
    It is possible to restore WeeChat session on another machine if you copy the content of WeeChat home directories (see /debug dirs).

- `uptime`: show WeeChat uptime

    /uptime  [-o|-ol]

     -o: send uptime to current buffer as input (English string)
    -ol: send uptime to current buffer as input (translated string)

- `version`: show WeeChat version and compilation date

    /version  [-o|-ol]

     -o: send version to current buffer as input (English string)
    -ol: send version to current buffer as input (translated string)

    The default alias /v can be used to execute this command on all buffers (otherwise the irc command /version is used on irc buffers).

- `wait`: schedule a command execution in future

    /wait  <number>[<unit>] <command>

     number: amount of time to wait (minimum: 1 millisecond)
       unit: optional, values are:
               us: microseconds
               ms: milliseconds
                s: seconds (default)
                m: minutes
                h: hours
    command: command to execute (or text to send to buffer if command does not start with '/')

    Note: the command is executed on buffer where /wait was executed (if the buffer does not exist any more, the command is not executed).

    Examples:
      join channel in 10 seconds:
        /wait 10 /join #test
      set away in 15 minutes:
        /wait 15m /away -all I'm away
      say 'hello' in 2 minutes:
        /wait 2m hello

- `window`: manage windows

    /window  list
             -1|+1|b#|up|down|left|right [-window <number>]
             <number>
             splith|splitv [-window <number>] [<pct>]

             refresh
             scroll [-window <number>] [+|-]<value>[s|m|h|d|M|y]
             scroll_horiz [-window <number>] [+|-]<value>[%]
             scroll_up|scroll_down|scroll_top|scroll_bottom|scroll_beyond_end|scroll_previous_highlight|scroll_next_highlight|scroll_unread [-window <number>]
             swap [-window <number>] [up|down|left|right]
             zoom [-window <number>]

               -1: jump to previous window
               +1: jump to next window
               b#: jump to next window displaying buffer number #
               up: switch to window above current one
             down: switch to window below current one
             left: switch to window on the left
            right: switch to window on the right

           splith: split current window horizontally (to undo: /window merge)
           splitv: split current window vertically (to undo: /window merge)
           resize: resize window size, new size is <pct> percentage of parent window
                   if "h" or "v" is specified, the resize affects the nearest parent window with a split of this type (horizontal/vertical)
          balance: balance the sizes of all windows
            merge: merge window with another (all = keep only one window)
            close: close window
          page_up: scroll one page up
        page_down: scroll one page down
          refresh: refresh screen

        scroll_up: scroll a few lines up
      scroll_down: scroll a few lines down
       scroll_top: scroll to top of buffer
    scroll_bottom: scroll to bottom of buffer

             swap: swap buffers of two windows (with optional direction for target window)
             zoom: zoom on window
             bare: toggle bare display (with optional delay in seconds for automatic return to standard display mode)

    For splith and splitv, pct is a percentage which represents size of new window, computed with current window as size reference. For example 25 means create a new window with size = current_size / 4

    Examples:
      jump to window displaying buffer #1:
        /window b1
      scroll 2 lines up:
        /window scroll -2
      scroll 2 days up:
        /window scroll -2d
      scroll to beginning of current day:
        /window scroll -d
      zoom on window #2:
        /window zoom -window 2
      split window horizontally using 30% of space for the window on top:
        /window splith 30
      resize window to 75% of the parent window size:
        /window resize 75
      resize vertical split, add 10% in size:
        /window resize v+10
      remove the split, keep the current window:
        /window merge
      close the current window:
        /window close
      enable bare display for 2 seconds:
        /window bare 2

## 8. IRC

The IRC plugin is designed to chat through IRC protocol with other people.

It is multi-servers, and offers all supported IRC commands including DCC chat and file transfer (via xfer plugin, see Xfer plugin).

### 8.1. Command line options

It is possible to give URL for one or many IRC servers, as follow:

    irc[6][s]://[nick[:password]@]irc.example.org[:port][/channel][,channel[...]]

Example to join #weechat and #weechat-fr on server irc.libera.chat server, default port (6667), with nick alice:

    $ weechat irc://alice@irc.libera.chat/#weechat,#weechat-fr

### 8.2. Servers

#### Add a server

By default no servers are defined. You can add as many servers as you want with the /server command.

For example to connect to libera.chat ↗ with TLS (encrypted trafic):

    /server add libera irc.libera.chat/6697 -tls

You can tell WeeChat to auto-connect to this server on startup:

    /set irc.server.libera.autoconnect on

To authenticate, it is recommended to use SASL (if supported on the server), with the password stored as secured data (see also chapter on SASL authentication):

    /set irc.server.libera.sasl_username "alice"
    /secure set libera xxxxxxx
    /set irc.server.libera.sasl_password "${sec.data.libera}"

If SASL is not supported, you can use a command to send a message to nickserv:

    /set irc.server.libera.command "/msg nickserv identify ${sec.data.libera}"

| By sending a message to nickserv, you may authenticate after joining channels which could be a problem on some channels requiring you to be authenticated to join. In this case, you can set a command delay: `/set irc.server.libera.command_delay 5`.

#### Server options

Server options are named `irc.server.<server>.<option>` where `<server>` is the internal name of the server and `<option>` the name of an option.
The value of a server option is inherited from `irc.server_default.xxx` if the server option has the special value `null`.

For example if you created the libera server with the commands above, you’ll see this with the command `/fset libera`:

    irc.server.libera.addresses             string   "irc.libera.chat/6697"
    irc.server.libera.anti_flood_prio_high  integer  null -> 2

    irc.server.libera.nicks_alternate       boolean  null -> on
    irc.server.libera.notify                string   null -> ""
    irc.server.libera.password              string   null -> ""
    irc.server.libera.proxy                 string   null -> ""
    irc.server.libera.realname              string   null -> ""
    irc.server.libera.sasl_fail             enum     null -> reconnect
    irc.server.libera.sasl_key              string   null -> ""
    irc.server.libera.sasl_mechanism        enum     null -> plain
    irc.server.libera.sasl_password         string   "${sec.data.libera}"
    irc.server.libera.sasl_timeout          integer  null -> 15
    irc.server.libera.sasl_username         string   "alice"
    irc.server.libera.split_msg_max_length  integer  null -> 512
    irc.server.libera.tls                   boolean  on
    irc.server.libera.tls_cert              string   null -> ""
    irc.server.libera.tls_dhkey_size        integer  null -> 2048
    irc.server.libera.tls_fingerprint       string   null -> ""
    irc.server.libera.tls_password          string   null -> ""
    irc.server.libera.tls_priorities        string   null -> "NORMAL:-VERS-SSL3.0"
    irc.server.libera.tls_verify            boolean  null -> on
    irc.server.libera.usermode              string   null -> ""
    irc.server.libera.username              string   null -> "alice"

For example if you want to automatically connect to all servers you define without having to do it on each server, you can do:

    /set irc.server_default.autoconnect on

And then you can reset the server option so that it uses the default inherited value, which is now `on` instead of the default value `off`:

    /unset irc.server.libera.autoconnect

#### TLS certificates

When connecting to IRC server with TLS, WeeChat checks by default that the connection is fully trusted.

Some options are used to control TLS connection:

weechat.network.gnutls_ca_system

  load system’s default trusted certificate authorities on startup

weechat.network.gnutls_ca_user

  extra file(s) with certificate authorities

irc.server.xxx.tls_cert

  TLS certificate file used to automatically identify your nick (for example CertFP on oftc, see below)

irc.server.xxx.tls_dhkey_size

  size of the key used during the Diffie-Hellman Key Exchange (by default: 2048)

irc.server.xxx.tls_verify

  check that the TLS connection is fully trusted (on by default)

| Option "tls_verify" is on by default, so verification is strict and may fail, even if it was OK with versions prior to 0.3.1.

##### First example: connect to oftc and check certificate

- Import certificate in shell:

    $ mkdir -p ~/.config/weechat/tls
    $ wget -O ~/.config/weechat/tls/CAs.pem https://www.spi-inc.org/ca/spi-cacert.crt

| You must replace `~/.config/weechat` by the path to your WeeChat config directory which can also be for example `~/.weechat`.

| It is possible to concatenate many certificates in file CAs.pem.

- In WeeChat, with "oftc" server already added:

    /connect oftc

##### Second example: connect to oftc using CertFP

- Create certificate in shell:

    $ mkdir -p ~/.config/weechat/tls
    $ cd ~/.config/weechat/tls
    $ openssl req -nodes -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout nick.pem -x509 -days 365 -out nick.pem

| You must replace `~/.config/weechat` by the path to your WeeChat config directory which can also be for example `~/.weechat`.

- In WeeChat, with "oftc" server already added:

    /set irc.server.oftc.tls_cert "${weechat_config_dir}/tls/nick.pem"
    /connect oftc
    /msg nickserv cert add

For more information, please look at this page ↗.

#### SASL authentication

WeeChat supports SASL authentication, using different mechanisms:

- plain: plain text password (default)

- scram-sha-1: SCRAM with SHA-1 digest algorithm

- scram-sha-256: SCRAM with SHA-256 digest algorithm

- scram-sha-512: SCRAM with SHA-512 digest algorithm

- ecdsa-nist256p-challenge: challenge with public/private key

- external: client side TLS cert

Options in servers are:

- sasl_mechanism: mechanism to use (see above)

- sasl_timeout: timeout (in seconds) for authentication

- sasl_fail: action to perform if authentication fails

- sasl_username: username (nick)

- sasl_password: password

- sasl_key: file with ECC private key (for mechanism ecdsa-nist256p-challenge)

##### SASL ECDSA-NIST256P-CHALLENGE

You must generate a private key in order to authentify with the ECDSA-NIST256P-CHALLENGE mechanism (no password is required on connection).

You can generate the key with this command:

    $ openssl ecparam -genkey -name prime256v1 -out ~/.config/weechat/ecdsa.pem

| You must replace `~/.config/weechat` by the path to your WeeChat config directory which can also be for example `~/.weechat`.

Get the public key (encoded as base64) with this command:

    $ openssl ec -noout -text -conv_form compressed -in ~/.config/weechat/ecdsa.pem | grep '^pub:' -A 3 | tail -n 3 | tr -d ' \n:' | xxd -r -p | base64

Connect to the server, identify (for example with "nickserv identify") and set your public key in your account, using nickserv (replace the base64 value with your public key):

    /connect libera
    /msg nickserv identify your_password
    /msg nickserv set pubkey Av8k1FOGetUDq7sPMBfufSIZ5c2I/QYWgiwHtNXkVe/q

Configure the SASL options in the server:

    /set irc.server.libera.sasl_mechanism ecdsa-nist256p-challenge
    /set irc.server.libera.sasl_username "your_nickname"
    /set irc.server.libera.sasl_key "${weechat_config_dir}/ecdsa.pem"

Reconnect to the server:

    /reconnect libera

#### Connection

You can connect to server with the /connect command:

    /connect libera

To disconnect:

    /disconnect libera

Or just this if you are on any buffer belonging to libera server (server, channel, private):

    /disconnect

When you connect to multiple servers at same time, server buffers are merged by default and you can switch between them with the `Ctrl`+`x` key.
It is possible to disable auto merge of server buffers to have independent server buffers:

    /set irc.look.server_buffer independent

#### Connect with Tor and SASL

Some servers support connections with Tor ↗, a network of virtual tunnels that allows people and groups to improve their privacy and security on the Internet.

In first place, install Tor. For Debian (and derived):

    $ sudo apt-get install tor

In WeeChat you need to add a socks5 proxy for Tor service (hostname/IP and port depend on your Tor configuration):

    /proxy add tor socks5 127.0.0.1 9050

Now, add a new server (replace server name "irc-tor" and the address by a valid one):

    /server add irc-tor this.is.the.address.onion

Set proxy for Tor:

    /set irc.server.irc-tor.proxy "tor"

Set SASL authentication with ECDSA-NIST256P-CHALLENGE (see the chapter SASL ECDSA-NIST256P-CHALLENGE to generate a private key):

    /set irc.server.irc-tor.sasl_mechanism ecdsa-nist256p-challenge
    /set irc.server.irc-tor.sasl_username "your_nickname"
    /set irc.server.irc-tor.sasl_key "${weechat_config_dir}/ecdsa.pem"

And finally, connect to the server:

    /connect irc-tor

### 8.3. IRCv3 support

WeeChat supports the following IRCv3 extensions ↗:

- account-notify

- account-tag

- away-notify

- batch

- cap-notify

- chghost

- draft/multiline

- echo-message

- extended-join

- invite-notify

- message-tags

- monitor

- multi-prefix

- SASL v3.2

- server-time

- setname

- typing

- userhost-in-names

- WHOX

By default all capabilities supported by the server and WeeChat are automatically enabled (see option irc.server_default.capabilities).

Tables with comparison of different IRC clients, including WeeChat, are available on this page ↗.

#### account-notify

Specification: account-notify ↗

This capability allows the server to send messages when users identify or unidentify on the server.
WeeChat displays such messages if the option irc.look.display_account_message is enabled (default value).

Examples:

    -- alice has identified as Alice01

    -- alice has unidentified

#### account-tag

Specification: account-tag ↗

This capability allows the server to send account as message tag to commands sent to the client.
WeeChat parses this tag and saves it in the message, but it is not used or displayed. It can be used in /filter command to filter messages matching specific accounts.

Example of raw IRC message received:

    @account=Alice01 :user@example.com PRIVMSG #test :Hello!

Message displayed in channel:

    <alice> Hello!

Message with tags:

    <alice> Hello! [irc_privmsg,irc_tag_account_Alice01,notify_message,prefix_nick_lightcyan,nick_alice,host_user@example.com,log1]

#### away-notify

Specification: away-notify ↗

This capability allows the server to send away notifications for users present on the same channels as you.

When the away status is changed for a user (away or back), this is reflected with a specific color in the nicklist, using the following options:

- irc.server_default.away_check

- irc.server_default.away_check_max_nicks

- weechat.look.item_away_message

#### batch

Specification: batch ↗

This capability allows the server to send batched events (grouping of several messages that are related).

For now, WeeChat only stores messages received in a batch and processes as usual later, when the batch ends.

#### cap-notify

Specification: cap-notify ↗

This capability allows the server to advertise on new or removed capabilities on the server (via `CAP NEW` and `CAP DEL` commands).

Examples:

    -- irc: client capability, now available: sasl

    -- irc: client capability, removed: sasl

#### chghost

Specification: chghost ↗

This capability allows the server to send messages when users change name or host.
When the option irc.look.smart_filter_chghost is enabled (default value), the host changes are automatically hidden if the nick has not spoken for several minutes.
The color of the change host message is controlled by the option irc.color.message_chghost.

Example:

    -- alice (user@example.com) has changed host to test.com

#### draft/multiline

Specification: multiline ↗

This capability allows the client and server to send messages with multiple lines, using the batch capability, that must be enabled as well.

There are limits in term of bytes or number of lines in a multiline message that are given in the capability sent by the server, for example:

    CAP alice LS * :draft/multiline=max-bytes=4096,max-lines=24

This sets a limit of 4096 bytes and 24 lines for a multiline batched content.

If the limits are not given by the server, the default in WeeChat are:

- max bytes: 4096

- max lines: 24

Only standard messages and those send by the /notice command can be multiline.
ACTION CTCP messages sent with command /me are not affected by this capability. That means multiline actions are sent as multiple actions.

| As the specification is a "draft", it may change and the multiline support can possibly break at any time in WeeChat. The capability is automatically enabled if the server supports it and can be disabled with this command: `/set irc.server_default.capabilities "*,!draft/multiline"`. When the capability is disabled, a multiline message is sent as multiple messages, as if they were sent sequentially to the server.

Example of IRC messages sent for a user message with two lines (`this is a test` / `on two lines`), send to channel #test:

    BATCH +i8Je7M7gquddoyC9 draft/multiline #test
    @batch=i8Je7M7gquddoyC9 PRIVMSG #test :this is a test
    @batch=i8Je7M7gquddoyC9 PRIVMSG #test :on two lines
    BATCH -i8Je7M7gquddoyC9

Display of the message sent in WeeChat:

    19:01:45 alice | this is a test
                   | on two lines

#### echo-message

Specification: echo-message ↗

This capability forces the server to send PRIVMSG, NOTICE and TAGMSG messages back to WeeChat.

WeeChat displays only the message received and not the message sent, so a delay can be noticed between the send and the display. When the message is displayed, it means it has been properly received by the server and propagated to other clients connected to the server as well.

#### extended-join

Specification: extended-join ↗

This capability allows the server to send account and real name when users join channels.
WeeChat displays this additional information in join messages if the option irc.look.display_extended_join is enabled (default value).

Example:

    --> john [John01] (John Doe) (~user@example.com) has joined #test

#### invite-notify

Specification: invite-notify ↗

This capability allows the server to send invite messages when users are invited to channels.

Example:

    -- alice has invited bob to #test

#### message-tags

Specification: message-tags ↗

This capability allows to add metadata in messages.
These tags can be displayed using the command `/debug tags`.

It must be enabled to use typing notifications.

#### monitor

Specification: monitor ↗

This capability allows the server to send notifications when clients become online/offline.
WeeChat automatically uses this extension if available when using the /notify command.

#### multi-prefix

Specification: multi-prefix ↗

This capability allows the server to send all user modes at once in /names and /whois responses.

| For now, WeeChat doesn’t display all prefixes in the `/names` output, even if they are received and properly saved internally.

Example: output of `/whois alice`:

    -- [alice] @%+#test

#### SASL

Specification: SASL 3.2 ↗

See the dedicated chapter SASL authentication.

#### server-time

Specification: server-time ↗

This capability allows the server to send time for messages as message tag.
When the time is received in a message, WeeChat uses it to display the message (it can then be displayed with a past date).

The IRC proxy in Relay plugin supports this capability, so any IRC client of Relay should enable it to display the real message time in the backlog sent upon connection.

#### setname

Specification: setname ↗

This capability lets you change your real name by using the /setname command.

#### typing

Specification: typing ↗

See the dedicated chapter Typing notifications.

#### userhost-in-names

Specification: userhost-in-names ↗

This capability allows the server to send hostnames in /names responses.

| WeeChat doesn’t display hostnames in the `/names` output.

Example of raw IRC messages received without the capability:

    :irc.server 353 alice = #test :@alice bob +carol

Example of raw IRC messages received with the capability:

    :irc.server 353 alice = #test :@alice!user1@host1 bob!user2@host2 +carol!user3@host3

#### WHOX

Specification: WHOX ↗

This capability lets you request additional fields in the WHO response (via the /who command).
WeeChat displays all additional information received in the WHO output.

### 8.4. Channels

You can join channels with the /join command:

    /join #channel

Part a channel (keeping the buffer open):

    /part [quit message]

The channels you joined are not saved. If you want to join them automatically when connecting to the server, you must set the server `autojoin` option:

    /set irc.server.libera.autojoin "#weechat,#weechat-fr"

| Some scripts can help to automatically set this option, see `/script search autojoin`.

Be careful, spaces can be used only to separate list of channels from keys, for example if `#channel1` requires a key but not `#channel2`:

    /set irc.server.libera.autojoin "#channel1,#channel2 key1"

For help on the format, see `/help irc.server.libera.autojoin`.

### 8.5. Private messages

You can send a private message with the /query command, which opens a separate buffer:

    /query bob hi, how are you?

Without arguments the command just opens the buffer (or selects it if already open):

    /query bob

To close the private buffer, you can do this command on the private buffer:

    /close

### 8.6. Smart filter

A smart filter is available to filter some messages when someone did not write anything in the channel during a configurable delay:

- join: user joins the channel

- part: user leaves the channel

- quit: user quits the server

- account: user changes its account

- chghost: user changes name or host

- mode: mode changes on channel

- nick: user changes its nick

- setname: user changes its real name

Smart filter is enabled by default, but you must add a filter to hide lines on buffers, for example:

    /filter add irc_smart * irc_smart_filter *

It is possible to create filter for one channel only or channels beginning with same name (see `/help filter`):

    /filter add irc_smart_weechat irc.libera.#weechat* irc_smart_filter *

You can setup a longer delay (in minutes):

    /set irc.look.smart_filter_delay 10

If someone did not write anything during last 10 minutes, its messages like join/part/quit will be hidden by default on channel, and you can use key `Alt`+`=` (toggle filters) to see them.

### 8.7. CTCP replies

It is possible to customize CTCP replies, or block some CTCP queries (do not reply).

For example, to customize reply to CTCP "VERSION", use following command:

    /set irc.ctcp.version "I'm running WeeChat ${version}, it rocks!"

| The name of CTCP must be in lower case. That means option irc.ctcp.VERSION would not work.

If you want to block CTCP "VERSION" (do not reply to a query), then set empty string:

    /set irc.ctcp.version ""

Even unknown CTCP can be customized, for example you can reply to CTCP "BLABLA":

    /set irc.ctcp.blabla "This is my answer to CTCP BLABLA"

It is possible to customize CTCP for one server only, using its internal name before CTCP name:

    /set irc.ctcp.libera.version "WeeChat ${version} (for libera)"

If you want to restore standard CTCP reply, then remove option:

    /unset irc.ctcp.version

The CTCP replies are evaluated (see command /eval) and the following extra variables are available:

Variable | Description | Value/example
--- | --- | ---
`${clientinfo}` | List of supported CTCP | `ACTION DCC CLIENTINFO PING SOURCE TIME VERSION`
`${version}` | WeeChat version | `4.1.0-dev`
`${versiongit}` | WeeChat version + Git version (1) | `4.1.0-dev (git: v4.0.0-51-g8f98b922a)`

`${username}` | User name on IRC server | `name`
`${realname}` | Real name on IRC server | `John Doe`

| (1) The Git version is the output of command `git describe`. It is known only if WeeChat has been compiled inside the Git repository and if Git was installed.

The default CTCP replies are:

CTCP | Reply format | Example
--- | --- | ---
CLIENTINFO | `${clientinfo}` | `ACTION DCC CLIENTINFO PING SOURCE TIME VERSION`
SOURCE | `${download}` | `https://weechat.org/download/`
TIME | `${time}` | `Sat, 08 Jul 2023 21:11:19 +0200`
VERSION | `WeeChat ${version}` | `WeeChat 4.1.0-dev`

### 8.8. Target buffer for IRC messages

It is possible to customize target buffer for IRC messages (buffer used to display message) with options `irc.msgbuffer.*`.

For some IRC messages (see list below), you can use value:

current

  current buffer (if it’s IRC buffer, or on server buffer by default)

private

  private buffer for nick, or current/server buffer if not found (according to option irc.look.msgbuffer_fallback)

server

  server buffer

weechat

  WeeChat "core" buffer

When option is not set (default), WeeChat chooses appropriate buffer, commonly server or channel buffer.

Some examples:

- Display result of `/whois` on private buffer:

    /set irc.msgbuffer.whois private

- Restore default buffer for whois (server buffer):

    /unset irc.msgbuffer.whois

- Display invitation on current buffer, only for "libera" server:

    /set irc.msgbuffer.libera.invite current

- Display message "303" (ison) on WeeChat "core" buffer:

    /set irc.msgbuffer.303 weechat

## 10. Typing notifications

The typing plugin is used to inform other users you are typing messages and show a list of users currently typing a message on the buffer.

It is used by IRC plugin on channel and private buffers, when the "message-tags" capability is enabled (you can check with /cap command).
Under the hood, typing client tag is used, following this specification ↗.

### 10.1. Activation

For privacy considerations, the typing feature is disabled by default.
If you want to use it, you must enable options in both typing and irc plugins:

    /set typing.look.enabled_nicks on
    /set typing.look.enabled_self on
    /set irc.look.typing_status_nicks on
    /set irc.look.typing_status_self on

The typing notifications are displayed at the end of the status bar.

Example of status bar with the "typing" item: "bob" is typing a message and "alice" was typing a message but made a pause:

    │[12:55] [6] [irc/libera] 3:#test(+n){4} [Typing: bob, (alice)]                   │
    │[@Flashy] █                                                                      │
    └─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

### 10.2. Signals sent

When you are typing a message (not a command starting with `/`), the typing plugin sends signals to inform other plugins (like IRC) that you are typing, and these plugins can then send typing notifications to other users.

The following signals are sent when you are typing messages:

Signal | Arguments | Description
--- | --- | ---
typing_self_typing | Pointer: buffer. | You are typing a message.
typing_self_paused | Pointer: buffer. | You made a pause while typing a message.
typing_self_cleared | Pointer: buffer. | You cleared the command line without sending the message.
typing_self_sent | Pointer: buffer. | You sent the message to the buffer.

### 10.3. Signals caught

The typing plugin is catching some signals that can be sent by other plugins (like IRC), to update internal hashtables used to store the typing state of nicks on buffers. These hashtables are used to build the content of "typing" bar item.

The following signals are caught by the typing plugin:

Signal | Arguments | Description
--- | --- | ---
typing_set_nick | String: buffer pointer + ";" + state (one of: "off", "typing", "paused", "cleared") + ";" + nick. Example: "0x1234abcd;typing;alice". | Set typing state for a nick on a buffer.
typing_reset_buffer | Pointer: buffer. | Remove typing state for all nicks on a buffer.

### 10.4. Options

Sections in file typing.conf:

Section | Control command | Description
--- | --- | ---
`look` | `/set typing.look.*` | Look and feel.

Options:

- typing.look.delay_purge_paused

  - type: integer

  - values: 0 .. 2147483647

  - default value: `0`

## 11. Relay

The Relay plugin is used to relay data via network, using different protocols:

- irc: IRC proxy: used to share connections to IRC servers with one or many other IRC clients

- weechat: protocol used by remote interfaces to display and interact with WeeChat, see this page ↗.

### 11.1. Password

It is highly recommended to set a password for relay, with these commands:

    /secure set relay mypassword
    /set relay.network.password "${sec.data.relay}"

This password is used for irc and weechat protocols.

### 11.2. TOTP

TOTP (Time-based One-Time Password) can be used as secondary authentication factor for weechat protocol, in addition to the password.

This is optional and increases the security level.

One-time passwords can be generated with applications, for example:

- FreeOTP: Android ↗, iOS ↗ (website ↗)

- Google Authenticator: Android ↗, iOS ↗

The TOTP secret must be set in WeeChat and the application used to generate one-time passwords.

It must be a string encoded in base32, with only letters and digits from 2 to 7, for example:

    /secure set relay_totp secretpasswordbase32
    /set relay.network.totp_secret "${sec.data.relay_totp}"

### 11.3. TLS

You can use TLS by creating a certificate and private key, and by using prefix "tls." in the name of protocol.

The default path to certificate/key is defined by option relay.network.tls_cert_key.

You can create a certificate and private key with following commands:

    $ mkdir -p ~/.config/weechat/tls
    $ cd ~/.config/weechat/tls
    $ openssl req -nodes -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout relay.pem -x509 -days 365 -out relay.pem

| You must replace `~/.config/weechat` by the path to your WeeChat config directory which can also be for example `~/.weechat`.

If WeeChat is already running, you can reload the certificate and private key with command:

    /relay tlscertkey

### 11.4. IRC proxy

The Relay plugin can act as an IRC proxy: it will simulate an IRC server, and you can connect to WeeChat with any other IRC client (including WeeChat itself).

You can define one port by IRC server, or one generic port for all servers.

When using one port for all servers, the client must send the internal name of server in the IRC "PASS" command, with this format (see example below):

    PASS server:password

Example: IRC proxy with TLS for any server (client will choose):

    /relay add tls.irc 8000

Example: IRC proxy without TLS only for server "libera":

    /relay add irc.libera 8000

Now you can connect on port 8000 with any IRC client using server password "mypassword" (or "libera:mypassword" if no server was specified in the relay).

For example if you use WeeChat as IRC client of the relay, with a server called "relay" and the relay password "secret", you can setup the password with these commands:

    /secure set relay_libera libera:secret
    /set irc.server.relay.password "${sec.data.relay_libera}"

### 11.5. WeeChat protocol

The Relay plugin can send data to remote interface using WeeChat protocol.

You can connect with a remote interface, see this page ↗.

| WeeChat itself can NOT connect to another WeeChat with this protocol.

For example:

    /relay add weechat 9000

Now you can connect on port 9000 with a remote interface using password "mypassword".

### 11.6. WebSocket

WebSocket protocol (RFC 6455 ↗) is supported in Relay plugin for all protocols.

The WebSocket handshake is automatically detected and socket becomes ready for WebSocket if required headers are found in handshake and if origin is allowed (see option relay.network.websocket_allowed_origins).

A WebSocket can be opened in a HTML5 with a single line of JavaScript:

    websocket = new WebSocket("ws://server.com:9000/weechat");

The port (9000 in example) is the port defined in Relay plugin. The URI must always end with "/weechat" (for irc and weechat protocols).

### 11.7. UNIX domain sockets

Using the protocol option "unix" with the `/relay add` command, you can listen using any protocol on a UNIX domain socket at a given path. For example:

    /relay add unix.weechat ${weechat_runtime_dir}/relay_socket

This allows clients to connect using the weechat protocol to /run/user/1000/weechat/relay_socket. This is particularly useful to allow SSH forwarding for relay clients, when other ports cannot be opened.

Using OpenSSH:

    $ ssh -L 9000:.weechat/relay_socket user@hostname

This redirects local relay clients connecting on port 9000 to the WeeChat instance running on "hostname".

### 11.8. Commands

- `relay`: relay control

    /relay  list|listfull|listrelay
            add <name> <port>|<path>
            del|start|restart|stop <name>

             ipv6: force use of IPv6
              tls: enable TLS
             unix: use UNIX domain socket
    protocol.name: protocol and name to relay:
                     - protocol "irc": name is the server to share (optional, if not given, the server name must be sent by client in command "PASS", with format: "PASS server:password")
                     - protocol "weechat" (name is not used)

    The "irc" protocol allows any IRC client (including WeeChat itself) to connect on the port.
    The "weechat" protocol allows a remote interface to connect on the port, see the list here: https://weechat.org/about/interfaces/

    Without argument, this command opens buffer with list of relay clients.

    Examples:
      irc proxy, for server "libera":
        /relay add irc.libera 8000
      irc proxy, for server "libera", with TLS:
        /relay add tls.irc.libera 8001

  - type: string

  - values: any string

  - default value: `"${env:SHELL}"`

## 13. FIFO pipe

You can remote control WeeChat, by sending commands or text to a FIFO pipe (if option "fifo.file.enabled" is enabled, it is by default).

The FIFO pipe is located in WeeChat runtime directory and is called weechat_fifo_12345 by default (where 12345 is the WeeChat process id).

Syntax for the FIFO pipe commands/text is one of following:

      plugin.buffer *text or command here
      *text or command here

Backslashes can be interpreted with this format, where `*` is replaced by `\`, allowing for example to send multiline messages:

      plugin.buffer \text or command here
      \text or command here

Some examples:

- Change nick on IRC server libera to "newnick":

    $ echo 'irc.server.libera */nick newnick' >/run/user/1000/weechat/weechat_fifo_12345

- Send a message on IRC #weechat channel:

    $ echo 'irc.libera.#weechat *hello!' >/run/user/1000/weechat/weechat_fifo_12345

- Send a multiline message on IRC #test channel, if capability "draft/multiline" is enabled on the ergo server:

    $ echo 'irc.ergo.#test \hello\n...on two lines!' >/run/user/1000/weechat/weechat_fifo_12345

- Send a message on current buffer:

    $ echo '*hello!' >/run/user/1000/weechat/weechat_fifo_12345

- Send two commands to unload/reload Python scripts (you have to separate them with "\n"):

    $ printf '%b' '*/python unload\n*/python autoload\n' >/run/user/1000/weechat/weechat_fifo_12345

### 13.1. Commands

- `fifo`: fifo plugin configuration

    /fifo  enable|disable|toggle

     enable: enable FIFO pipe
    disable: disable FIFO pipe
     toggle: toggle FIFO pipe

    FIFO pipe is used as remote control of WeeChat: you can send commands or text to the FIFO pipe from your shell.
    By default the FIFO pipe is called weechat_fifo_xxx (where xxx is the WeeChat process id) and located in the WeeChat runtime directory (see /debug dirs).

    The expected format is one of:
      plugin.buffer *text or command here
      *text or command here

    For example to change your libera nick:
      echo 'irc.server.libera */nick newnick' >/run/user/1000/weechat/weechat_fifo_12345

    Please read the user's guide for more info and examples.

    Examples:
      /fifo toggle

### 13.2. Options

Sections in file fifo.conf:

Section | Control command | Description
--- | --- | ---
`file` | `/set fifo.file.*` | FIFO pipe control.

Options:

- fifo.file.enabled

  - description: enable FIFO pipe

  - type: boolean

  - values: on, off

  - default value: `on`

- fifo.file.path

  - description: path for FIFO file; WeeChat PID can be used in path with ${info:pid} (path is evaluated, see function string_eval_path_home in plugin API reference)

  - type: string

  - values: any string

  - default value: `"${weechat_runtime_dir}/weechat_fifo_${info:pid}"`

## 14. Trigger

Trigger is the Swiss Army knife for WeeChat: it can hook many things (signal, modifier, print, etc.), change the content of data, and execute one or more commands. A condition can be used to prevent the trigger to run in some circumstances.

Using triggers require you to know how the signals, modifiers, …​ are working. So you might consider reading the WeeChat plugin API reference / Hooks ↗.

### 14.1. Default triggers

WeeChat creates 5 triggers by default, which can be disabled, updated or deleted:

- a beep trigger for notifications

- four other triggers to hide passwords on screen

List of default triggers:

Name | Hook | Description
--- | --- | ---
`beep` | print | Beep on highlight/private message.
`cmd_pass` | modifier | Hide password in commands: `/msg nickserv id|identify|set password|ghost|release|regain|recover`, `/oper`, `/quote pass`, `/secure passphrase|decrypt|set`.
`cmd_pass_register` | modifier | Hide password in command `/msg nickserv register`.
`msg_auth` | modifier | Hide password in IRC auth message displayed (message received from server after the user issued the command).
`server_pass` | modifier | Hide server password in commands `/server` and `/connect`.

### 14.2. Anatomy of a trigger

A trigger has the following options (names are `trigger.trigger.<name>.<option>`):

Option | Values | Description
--- | --- | ---
`enabled` | `on`, `off` | When option is `off`, the trigger is disabled and actions are not executed any more.
`hook` | `signal`, `hsignal`, `modifier`, `line`, `print`, `command`, `command_run`, `timer`, `config`, `focus`, `info`, `info_hashtable` | The hook used in trigger. For more information, see WeeChat plugin API reference / Hooks ↗.
`arguments` | string | The arguments for the hook, it depends on the hook type used.
`conditions` | string | Conditions to execute the trigger; they are evaluated (see command /eval).
`regex` | string | One or more regex "commands" (similar to the `sed` command) to change data received in the hook callback (and some stuff added by trigger plugin), see regular expression.
`command` | string | Command to execute (many commands can be separated by semicolons); it is evaluated (see command /eval).
`return_code` | `ok`, `ok_eat`, `error` | The return code of callback (default is `ok`, which should be used in almost all triggers, the other values are rarely used).
`post_action` | `none`, `disable`, `delete` | Action to take on the trigger after execution (default is `none` which should be used in almost all triggers, the other values are rarely used).

For example, the default beep trigger has following options:

    trigger.trigger.beep.enabled = on
    trigger.trigger.beep.hook = print
    trigger.trigger.beep.arguments = ""
    trigger.trigger.beep.conditions = "${tg_displayed} && (${tg_highlight} || ${tg_msg_pv})"
    trigger.trigger.beep.regex = ""
    trigger.trigger.beep.command = "/print -beep"
    trigger.trigger.beep.return_code = ok
    trigger.trigger.beep.post_action = none

### 14.3. Execution

When a trigger callback is called, following actions are executed, in this order, if triggers are globally enabled and if the trigger itself is enabled:

1. check trigger conditions: if false, exit

2. replace text in trigger using regular expression(s)

3. execute command(s)

4. exit with a return code (except for hooks modifier, line, focus, info and info_hashtable)

5. perform post action (if different from `none`).

### 14.4. Hook arguments

The arguments depend on the hook used. They are separated by semicolons.

Hook | Arguments | Examples | Documentation (API)
--- | --- | --- | ---
signal | 1. signal name (priority allowed) (required) 2. signal name (priority allowed) 3. …​ | `*,irc_in_privmsg` `*,irc_in_privmsg;*,irc_in_notice` `signal_sigwinch` | hook_signal ↗
hsignal | 1. signal name (priority allowed) (required) 2. signal name (priority allowed) 3. …​ | `nicklist_nick_added` | hook_hsignal ↗
modifier | 1. modifier name (priority allowed) (required) 2. modifier name (priority allowed) 3. …​ | `weechat_print` `5000|input_text_display;5000|history_add` | hook_modifier ↗
line | 1. buffer type 2. buffer name 3. tags | `formatted` `free` `*;irc.libera.*` `*;irc.libera.#weechat` `formatted;irc.libera.#weechat;irc_notice` | hook_line ↗
print | 1. buffer name 2. tags 3. message 4. strip colors (0/1) | `irc.libera.*` `irc.libera.#weechat` `irc.libera.#weechat;irc_notice` `*;;;1` | hook_print ↗
command | 1. command name (priority allowed) (required) 2. description (evaluated, see command /eval) 3. arguments (evaluated, see command /eval) 4. description of arguments (evaluated, see command /eval) 5. completion (evaluated, see command /eval) | `test` `5000|test` `test;test command;arg1 arg2;arg1: description 1${\n}arg2: description 2` | hook_command ↗
command_run | 1. command (priority allowed) (required) 2. command (priority allowed) 3. …​ | `/cmd arguments` | hook_command_run ↗
timer | 1. interval in milliseconds (required) 2. alignment on second (default: 0) 3. max number of calls (default: 0, which means "no end") | `3600000` `60000;0;5` | hook_timer ↗
config | 1. option name (priority allowed) (required) 2. option name (priority allowed) 3. …​ | `weechat.look.*` | hook_config ↗
focus | 1. area name (priority allowed) (required) 2. area name (priority allowed) 3. …​ | `buffer_nicklist` | hook_focus ↗
info | 1. info name (priority allowed) (required) 2. info name (priority allowed) 3. …​ | `my_info` | hook_info ↗
info_hashtable | 1. info name (priority allowed) (required) 2. info name (priority allowed) 3. …​ | `my_info` | hook_info_hashtable ↗

### 14.5. Conditions

The conditions are used to continue processing in trigger, or stop everything.

They are evaluated, and data available in callback can be used (see data in callbacks and command /eval).

Example: the default beep trigger uses this condition to make a beep only on highlight or private message:

    ${tg_displayed} && (${tg_highlight} || ${tg_msg_pv})

### 14.6. Regular expression

The regular expression is used to change variables in callback hashtable.

Format is one of the following:

    /string1/string2
    /string1/string2/var
    s/string1/string2
    s/string1/string2/var
    y/string1/string2
    y/string1/string2/var

Fields:

- `s` or `y`: a letter with the command; if missing, default command is `s` and the first char is then used as the delimiter:

  - `s`: regex replacement: first string is a regular expression, second string is the replacement for every matching string

  - `y`: chars translation: first string is a set of characters that are replaced by the characters in the second string; once evaluated, each string must have exactly the same number of UTF-8 chars

- `/`: the regex delimiter; the char "/" can be replaced by any char (one or more identical chars)

- `string1`: the first string (use depends on the command)

- `string2`: the second string (use depends on the command)

- `var`: the hashtable variable to update

Many regular expressions can be separated by a space, for example:

    s/regex1/replace1/var1 y/abcdef/ABDDEF/var2

#### Regex replace

For the command `s`, the format is: `s/regex/replace` or `s/regex/replace/var` (where var is a variable of the hashtable).

As `s` is the default command, it can be omitted, so `/regex/replace` is also valid (but the first char, which is the delimiter, must not be a letter).

Matching groups can be used in replace:

- `${re:0}` to `${re:99}`: `${re:0}` is the whole match, `${re:1}` to `${re:99}` are groups captured

- `${re:}+`: the last match (with highest number)

- `${hide:c,${re:N}}`: match "N" with all chars replaced by "c" (example: `${hide:*,${re:2}}` is the group #2 with all chars replaced by `*`).

Example: use bold for words between `*`:

    s/\*([^ ]+)\*/*${color:bold}${re:1}${color:-bold}*/

Example: default trigger server_pass uses this regular expression to hide password in commands `/server` and `/connect` (chars in passwords are replaced by `*`):

    s==^(/(server|connect) .*-(sasl_)?password=)([^ ]+)(.*)==${re:1}${hide:*,${re:4}}${re:5}

| In this example, the delimiter used is "==" because there is a "/" in the regular expression.

#### Translate chars

For the command `y`, the format is: `y/chars1/chars2` or `y/chars1/chars2/var` (where var is a variable of the hashtable).

Example: replace "a", "b" and "c" by upper case letter:

    y/abc/ABC/

Example: rotate arrows clockwise:

    y/←↑→↓/↑→↓←/

Example: convert all letters to lower case:

    y/${chars:upper}/${chars:lower}/

Example: shift each letter by one position, preserving case: a→b, b→c … y→z, z→a:

    y/${chars:a-z}${chars:A-Z}/${chars:b-z}a${chars:B-Z}A/

#### Variable

If var does not exist in the hashtable, it is created automatically with an empty value. This allows to create custom temporary variables.

If var is not specified, the default variable is used, it depends on hook type:

Hook | Default variable | Update allowed (1)
--- | --- | ---
signal | tg_signal_data |
hsignal |  |
modifier | tg_string | tg_string
line | message | buffer, buffer_name, y, date, date_printed, str_time, tags, notify_level, highlight, prefix, message
print | tg_message |
command | tg_argv_eol1 |
command_run | tg_command |
timer | tg_remaining_calls |
config | tg_value |
focus |  |
info | tg_info | tg_info
info_hashtable |  | all variables received in hashtable

| (1) All variables can be updated in the trigger, but only these variables have an effect on the value returned by the trigger and used by WeeChat.

### 14.7. Command

The command is executed after replacement of text with the regular expression. Many commands can be separated by semicolons.

It is evaluated (see command /eval) and text replaced with a regular expression can be used in the command.

Example: default beep trigger uses this command to make a beep (BEL):

    /print -beep

### 14.8. Data in callbacks

Data received in callbacks are stored in hashtables (pointers and strings) and can be used in following options:

- conditions

- regex

- command

The content of hashtables depends on the hook type.

A convenient way to see data in a trigger is to open trigger monitor buffer, using the command:

    /trigger monitor

All callbacks set following variables in hashtable:

Variable | Type | Description
--- | --- | ---
`tg_trigger_name` | string | Name of trigger.
`tg_hook_type` | string | Hook type: "signal", "command", etc.

#### Signal

The "signal" callback sets following variables in hashtable:

Variable | Type | Description
--- | --- | ---
`tg_signal` | string | Name of signal.

If the signal contains an IRC message, the message is parsed and following data is added in hashtable:

Variable | Type | Description
--- | --- | ---
`irc_server` | pointer | Pointer to IRC server (variables in hdata of type "irc_server" can be used, like `${irc_server.name}`).
`irc_channel` | pointer | Pointer to IRC channel (variables in hdata of type "irc_channel" can be used, like `${irc_channel.name}`).
`server` | string | Name of server (example: "libera").

`pos_channel` | string | The index of channel in message ("-1" if channel was not found).
`pos_text` | string | The index of text in message ("-1" if text was not found).

When the data is a pointer, the variable `tg_signal_data` can be used like this to read a hdata property (in this example this is a pointer on a buffer):

    ${buffer[${tg_signal_data}].full_name}

#### Hsignal

`tg_string_nocolor` | string | The string without color codes.

For the weechat_print modifier, variables using message tags are added (see hook print below), and following variables:

### 14.9. Examples

#### Color for URLs

Display URLs in green:

    /trigger add url_color modifier weechat_print "${tg_notify}" "==[a-zA-Z0-9_]+://[^ ]+==${color:green}${re:0}${color:reset}=="

| The simple regex used to detect URL may not catch well all URLs, but it is faster than a complex regex.

#### Auto pong on ping queries

When someone sends a "ping" in a private buffer, this trigger will auto-reply with `pong`:

    /trigger add pong print "" "${type} == private && ${tg_message} == ping" "" "pong"

#### Responsive layout

Following triggers can be used to customize things displayed when the size of terminal is changed:

    /trigger add resize_small signal signal_sigwinch "${info:term_width} < 100" "" "/bar hide nicklist"
    /trigger add resize_big signal signal_sigwinch "${info:term_width} >= 100" "" "/bar show nicklist"

The triggers catch the signal "signal_sigwinch", which is sent by WeeChat when signal SIGWINCH is received (when terminal size is changed).

The condition with `${info:term_width}` checks the width of terminal (you can also use `${info:term_height}` if needed).

In the example, when the terminal becomes small, the nicklist is hidden. And the bar is restored when the width is greater or equal to 100 chars.

#### Automatic save of configuration

You can automatically save configuration files (`*.conf`), for example each hour:

    /trigger add cfgsave timer 3600000;0;0 "" "" "/mute /save"

Arguments for the timer hook are:

- 3600000: 3600 * 1000 milliseconds, the callback is called each hour

- 0: alignment on second (not aligned here)

- 0: max number of calls (0 = no end for the timer)

The command `/mute /save` will silently save configuration files (nothing displayed on core buffer).

## 15. Extending WeeChat

WeeChat has a modular design and can be extended with plugins and scripts.

It’s important to make difference between a plugin and a script: a plugin is a binary file compiled and loaded with command `/plugin`, whereas a script is a text file loaded with a plugin like python with command `/python`.

### 15.1. Plugins

A plugin is a dynamic library, written in C and compiled, which is loaded by WeeChat. Under GNU/Linux, the file has ".so" extension, ".dll" under Windows.

Plugins found are automatically loaded when WeeChat is starting, and it is possible to load or unload plugins while WeeChat is running.

You can use command `/plugin` to load/unload a plugin, or list all loaded plugins.

When a plugin is unloaded, WeeChat removes:

- buffers

- configuration options (options are written in files)

- all hooks: commands, modifiers, process, etc.

- infos and infolists

- hdata

- bar items.

Examples to load, unload or list plugins:

    /plugin load irc
    /plugin unload irc
    /plugin list

Default plugins are:

Plugin | Description
--- | ---
alias | Define alias for commands.
buflist | Bar item with list of buffers.
charset | Charset decoding/encoding for buffers.
exec | Execution of external commands in WeeChat.
fifo | FIFO pipe used to remotely send commands to WeeChat.
fset | Fast set of WeeChat and plugins options.
irc | IRC chat protocol.
logger | Log buffers to files.
relay | Relay data via network.
script | Script manager.
python | Python scripting API.
perl | Perl scripting API.
ruby | Ruby scripting API.
lua | Lua scripting API.
tcl | Tcl scripting API.
guile | Guile (scheme) scripting API.
javascript | JavaScript scripting API.
php | PHP scripting API.
spell | Spell checking for command line.
trigger | Text replacement and command execution on events triggered by WeeChat/plugins.
typing | Display users currently writing messages.
xfer | File transfer and direct chat.

To learn more about plugin or script development (through API), please read the WeeChat plugin API reference ↗ or the WeeChat scripting guide ↗.

### 15.2. Scripts

WeeChat provides 8 scripting plugins: Python, Perl, Ruby, Lua, Tcl, Guile (scheme), JavaScript and PHP. These plugins can load, execute and unload scripts for these languages.

For more information about how to write scripts, or WeeChat API for scripts, please read the WeeChat scripting guide ↗.

#### Script manager

The script manager (command /script) is used to load/unload scripts of any language, and install/remove scripts of WeeChat scripts repository, which are visible on this page ↗.

For privacy considerations, the download of scripts is disabled by default.
To enable it, type this command:

    /set script.scripts.download_enabled on

Then you can download the list of scripts and display them in a new buffer with the /script command:
