I'm using Hexchat.
I'm in a chat where I need to write a number followed by the letter F.
1F
2F
...
100F

But it isn't nice to manually write every number.
Are scripts for chat admins only or can I create such a script as
simple user?
Is there a way for me to just generate a counter with the sequence?

That's amazing. I see Hexchat already comes with **lua** support.I've
also read about a **python** plugin, but it doesn't seem to be found,
not even the documentation tells where to download it.Is it an option
fonly available when installing Hexchat?

EDIT:

Found this[https://www.irchelp.org/clients/cross/hexchat.html](https:/

I'd just need to install Python, but lua is the recommended option.

I achieved sending messages and executing commands with lua.
But once I get into the place where commands are 1F...100F it doesn't
work
