Hello,

Is there any python or similar plugin for Hexchat, Windows?
I've found one for linux, but searching around I can't seem to find
any.

From what I could see in Hexchat patch notes it makes it sound like it
should be native? But I really can't find it.

So simply.. sending a /away command after 5 minutes (or configurable)
on the current client.

A script for hexchat on linux will probably work on hexchat for
windows.

Even if I have to CMake and Make it?

This is what I found.
If it works, I can dl cygwin and dependencies, but it's a bit of a
hassle if there was a python script or so.

Then its a C or C++ plugin which means pretty much anything goes, it
may or may not work

It absolutely won't, how to detect Windows activity is entirely
different.

That is Linux specific.

Alright, thanks for the info.
Heard about another autoaway? I basically only want the ability to
have a client send the /away command if it's been more than 5 minutes.

Not that I know of, not many Windows specific plugins exist.
