--- the Little Uni-buffer iRc Klient ---
There are many Emacs IRC clients, but this one is mine.
Although I've never spent _that_ much time on IRC, I've used a wide
variety of IRC clients over the years including ircII, BitchX, irssi,
circe, rcirc, and even a brief stint with mIRC way back when. While
these are all extremely powerful and featureful clients, I've never
been entirely happy with any of them, probably because my approach to
IRC tends to be to join several quiet channels and lurk until a
conversation interests me. And while there are usually options to
have notifications appear about messages in channels other than the
one shown, I always have this nagging feeling of missing something.
This far-from-featureful client solves this problem for me by keeping
all messages displayed in a single window. It's similar to what you
get if you just connect to an IRC server via telnet and watch the raw
IRC messages come in, although it uses faces and other formatting to
try to make the different interleaved threads of conversation a bit
easier to follow. In addition, it does allow you to temporarily
"zoom" into a particular channel.
While lurk is still far from complete, it supports:
- scripted replies (allowing for automatic identification with
eg. nickserv)
- several CTCP commands (including ACTION and VERSION),
- tab completion of commands, channels and nicks
Currently only one server connection can be established at a time,
however I plan to add multi-server support. Once that's in, I'll
polish it a bit but probably not change too much else. (I'm close to
completely happy with it already.)
The package is still in a state of flux and completely undocumented,
but feel free to poke around if you don't mind having to read a bit of
elisp.
