Hi, I'm looking for way to auto connect to channels as /away and also
set myself /away when I don't do anything on channel for like 5
minutes. I want to do this to stop beep sounds when I'm working etc.

The closest I thing I found to what you're looking for is
https://github.com/andreyv/hexchat-autoaway which appears to be geared
for Linux users only. Are you on Windows?

yeah, I'm on Windows. I found I can add /away command to my networks
connection settings. It workes after around minute (before that I'm
connected normaly), but that should be ok for me. Now I need solution
to set myself /away again when I don't use HexChat for some time.
