I use gnome-terminal in combination with irssi and I am wondering if there's anything like .bash_history logfile for irssi, that can be used/implemented/set up, that enables one to retrieve previously typed commands, like /server xxx, /j #channel etc.. also in a later anew started session, by using gnome-terminals standard key-shortcuts like ↑ and ↓.
It is really troublesome to repeatedly type all the commands again and again while not being connected to any /server the next day, so any help here is much appreciated. --Thank you!!
Edit: When I am prompted to connect to any /server of my choice, I would like to use the key-shortcut prior mention, that then brings up my previous choices of connected servers/commands, like /server irc.blah01.com, /server irc.blah02.com, /server irc.blah03.com etc.. I simply can then skip through and confirm with Enter instead of typing the exact command and server address again and again. (I know about the auto-connect function, but I prefer the other option, if it is one).
The history_search.pl script from irssi.org in combination with Ctrl+R worked quite nicely in the end!
How to use it:
/bind ^R /history_search./history_search -forwardto go forward in the results.Possibly - I'm not certain what you are asking. Press Ctrl+r and type the start of the command, and it should appear there. You can then use the arrow keys to edit it.
Why not try to read up on this
http://www.irssi.org/documentation
From memory, there is a "$HOME/.irssi/" directory which you will find config files in, and may create new... on your own.
I had it set up to do
/server ...wait a bit, set nick, then join a specific channel - as it was started.
