- Requires MacTCP and at least System 6. |
| 9 |
- Supports multiple windows and tabs, each window maintaining its own |
| 10 |
connection and each channel in a separate tab. Query tabs can be opened |
| 11 |
by double-clicking a user in a channel user list or with "/query <user>" to |
| 12 |
make it easier to message that user. |
| 13 |
- When windows are closed, they are hidden and continue to work in the |
| 14 |
background. When your nick is mentioned in a channel, a Notification |
| 15 |
Manager alert is generated to blink the Apple menu icon in the screen |
| 16 |
corner. Clicking it and bringing up Wallops from the MultiFinder menu |
| 17 |
will show the window and cancel the alert. If your screensaver is running |
| 18 |
and you have Pushover settings filled out, a Pushover alert can be sent to |
| 19 |
your devices while you're away from your Mac. Note: Pushover alerts are |
| 20 |
sent over plaintext HTTP. |
| 21 |
- Supports selective ignoring of certain channel events such as joins, |
| 22 |
parts/quits, and nick changes. |
| 23 |
- Supports tab completion of nicks at the beginning of messages to a channel |
| 24 |
- Converts UTF-8 characters to MacRoman (where possible) in any text |
| 25 |
displayed |
| 26 |
- Command+Number switches to that number tab in the current window, and |
| 27 |
Command+, and Command+. switch to the previous and next tabs, |
| 28 |
respectively. |
| 29 |
- When an existing configuration file is found, Wallops will auto-connect at |
| 30 |
startup unless the Command key is held. |
| 31 |
- Implements the following commands, though any unsupported commands |
| 32 |
can be sent to the server with "/quote <raw command>": |
