Wallops: a simple IRC client for Macintosh Written by joshua stein <jcs@jcs.org> - http://jcs.org/wallops Wallops is free software; see the LICENSE file for copyright/licensing See http://jcs.org/wallops for more information and vesion history - Requires MacTCP and at least System 6. - Supports multiple windows and tabs, each window maintaining its own connection and each channel in a separate tab. Query tabs can be opened by double-clicking a user in a channel user list or with "/query <user>" to make it easier to message that user. - When windows are closed, they are hidden and continue to work in the background. When your nick is mentioned in a channel, a Notification Manager alert is generated to blink the Apple menu icon in the screen corner. Clicking it and bringing up Wallops from the MultiFinder menu will show the window and cancel the alert. If your screensaver is running and you have Pushover settings filled out, a Pushover alert can be sent to your devices while you're away from your Mac. Note: Pushover alerts are sent over plaintext HTTP. - Supports selective ignoring of certain channel events such as joins, parts/quits, and nick changes. - Supports tab completion of nicks at the beginning of messages to a channel - Converts UTF-8 characters to MacRoman (where possible) in any text displayed - Command+Number switches to that number tab in the current window, and Command+, and Command+. switch to the previous and next tabs, respectively. - When an existing configuration file is found, Wallops will auto-connect at startup unless the Command key is held. - Implements the following commands, though any unsupported commands can be sent to the server with "/quote <raw command>": /clear - clear a window's history /close - part a channel and close its tab, or close a query tab /connect - connect to the given server /deop - remove operator privileges from given users /devoice - remove voice privileges from given users /disconnect - disconnect from the server (aliased to /disco and /discon) /join - join a channel and create a new tab for it /me - send an action /mode - change mode on a channel /monitor - send raw monitor commands to server /msg - send a private message to a user /nick - change your nick name /op - grant operator privileges to given users /part - part a channel and close its tab /query - open a new query tab with a user /quit - disconnect and quit the program /quote - send a raw string to the server /reconnect - reconnect to the current server (aliased to /recon) /say - send a message to the channel or query that starts with / /server - switch to the given server /topic - show the current channel topic or set a new one /umode - change user mode /voice - grant voice privileges to given users /who - list the users in a channel /whois - perform a whois on a user |
