SmIRC 0.60beta

SmIRC menus

Both the server and the channel window have a menu bar. The menu for the server and the channel window is mostly the same, however, some of the following options are only present in the server window, some only in the command window. Most of these appear in both of them.

Also, because SmIRC is highly customizable via its resource file, the following labels may be different from what you see.

IRC menu

New server window

This creates another server window. Each server window is completely independent, and may be used to connect to a different server.

Multiple server windows can be used to connect to multiple servers, and join channels on multiple IRC networks, at the same time.

The same effect can be accomplished by running another copy of SmIRC. Being able to open multiple server windows, however, saves some X11R6/Motif bloat.

Connect to server

Opens a dialog for a new server connection.

List server links

Executes a /LINKS command. (Why did I put this here?)

Close

Closes this window. If this is a channel window, executes the /PART command. If this is a server window, executes a /QUIT command. Either way, the end result of this action is to close the window (minor exception - entering the /QUIT command manually will not close the server window).

Edit menu

Cut

Copy

Paste

- copies text to/from clipboard, and the current field.

Channel menu

List

A shortcut to execute the /LIST command.

Join

A silly dialog to execute the /JOIN command.

Names

A silly dialog to execute the /NAMES command.

Part

Just for consistency's sake; this does the exact same thing that Close does, on a channel window.

Log menu

Open

Starts logging all messages in this window. This menu selection is an interactive version of the /LOGOPEN command.

Close

Stops logging messages in this window. This menu selection is equivalent to the /LOGCLOSE command.

Help menu

Setup

Opens a dialog to set up the HTML browser. This help documentation is provided in HTML format. You must specify a command which runs an HTML browser, in order to be able to bring up the help documentation directly from SmIRC.
