Help me find an OS X client reddit / irc ---------------------------------------------------------------------- asdf-user · 2016-03-02 01:17 I've been using Kiwi so far, which is, well fine, but it does have room for improvement, here's a few things I'd like to see: * fullscreen support * split the main window into 4 parts (a horizontal and a vertical split), so I can see 4 channels simultaneously * auto-join multiple channels * auto identify with nickserv * choose a mirc color and have all your lines automatically coloured with that * highlight nick and custom words ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [deleted] · 2016-03-02 01:18 [deleted] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- MuffinMedic · 2016-03-02 01:19 Not sure of any GUI clients that offer the window split - that's usually something you see in CLI clients like WeeChat and IRSSI. I'm not sure what the "choose a mirc color" is so I can't make any recommendations in that regard, but I can't recommend [Textual](https://www.textualapp.com) enough. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- asdf-user · 2016-03-02 01:27 CLI clients are fine with me, IRSSI offers only horizontal split though. I meant that you could choose a text color for yourself basically ---------------------------------------------------------------------- MuffinMedic · 2016-03-02 01:29 [WeeChat](https://weechat.org) does 4 way splits (and more). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- asdf-user · 2016-03-02 01:31 i'll look into it tomorrow, thanks ---------------------------------------------------------------------- randomataxia · 2016-03-02 03:42 Aside from the 4 way split, [Textual 5](https://www.codeux.com/textual/) fits the bill pretty well. While it's not free, it is reasonable, and it is the best Mac GUI client available. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- tazz_2004 · 2016-03-02 07:05 I use limechat. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- randomataxia · 2016-03-02 08:56 As you're a fan of Limechat, have you tried [Textual 5](https://www.codeux.com/textual/)? Since Limechat is no longer under development, an awesome developer forked it, and made tons of improvements. It's not free, but it absolutely is worth the minimal cost. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- tazz_2004 · 2016-03-02 09:42 I actually maintain a permanent presence in IRC using irssi on my VPS. At home I use hexchat in windows 10. I use limechat when I have to look something up on the move. Which explains why I did not notice that limechat is no longer under development. But I am saving your comment and I'll look this up later. Thanks a bunch. :) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- BaconOverdose · 2016-03-02 10:15 textual ---------------------------------------------------------------------- randomataxia · 2016-03-02 11:27 No problem at all, I generally don't push paid products unless I absolutely love them, and I absolutely love Textual. It uses Webkit to render the chat, which allows for some pretty awesome things, in addition to being able to change the skin using regular CSS. The dev is also extremely helpful (and I recommend you stop by and say hey to milky in #textual on freenode :). IRSSI is awesome too, great window management. I've actually taken a liking to WeeChat as of late for a CLI IRC client due to it's small footprint and feature set. Hexchat is also another great client, I use that on Debian and love it, I have to say I'm still pretty partial to mIRC on Windows though, maybe it's my massive collection of scripts, or maybe it's because I've used it for nearly 20 years xD ---------------------------------------------------------------------- randomataxia · 2016-03-02 11:30 Oh, and you should check into ZNC since you've got a VPS if you haven't already, maintains your connection, and you can connect to that from nearly any client. If you're not an IRC Op, you might also be interested in Shout IRC (which is a web based IRC client, similar to IRC Cloud or mibbit, but without your traffic going through a 3rd party server). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- tazz_2004 · 2016-03-02 11:39 You are my hero. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- randomataxia · 2016-03-02 11:56 Hahaha, glad I could help. I've been using IRC for ages (since 1992-3), and am an IRC Op on a smaller network (~160 Users). I'm always testing out new clients because you never know when something better might come along :D ---------------------------------------------------------------------- tazz_2004 · 2016-03-02 12:03 You are not the hero we deserve, but the hero we gladly accept. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- gatewayy · 2016-03-02 15:16 I'm an Oper on several small networks. I use ZNC with IrcCloud connected to it so I get highlight notifications no matter where I am. I am going to check out Shout ITC that I saw posted earlier. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- MC1RMutant · 2016-03-02 17:10 +1 for WeeChat. It's been solid for me and I do multi-window splits with it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- dasbacon · 2016-03-02 19:14 Colloquy ---------------------------------------------------------------------- airstrike · 2016-03-09 03:00 irssi
