Konversation/Tips and Tricks/uk

Використання вбудованих скриптів

/cmd

Підказки щодо DCC

• You can DCC any link supported by KDE in Konversation.
  Try /dcc send <nickname> http://www.slashdot.org

Kontact Integration

• You can associate nicks with address book entries and track their online status from Kontact. To do so right click a nick, use Addressbook Associations -> Choose Contact and select the addressbook entry you want to associate. And that's it. Now you can see their online status from Kontact.
• If you install kuick plugin from kdeaddons/konq-plugins you can right click a filename choose Copy To -> Contact, select one of your online contacts and Konversation will DCC the file to that contact.

Nick Completion

• If you chose a nick using tab-completion, the next time you press Tab key Konversation will insert last completed nick automatically.
• You can skip some part of nicks while using nick completion. For example if your bouncer adds ~ prefix to nicks you can add following to your ~/.kde/share/config/konversationrc :

[Nick Completion]
PrefixCharacter=~

Then it won't take ~ prefix into account while doing nick completion. So to get ~foo you just do fo<tab> and it will complete it to ~foo. You can use any valid string for PrefixCharacter like ~,~d,~df,etc.

Sound Notifications

You can have Konversation notify you with a sound event whenever your name appears in a channel.

• Go to Settings -> Configure Notifications in the menubar.
• Select Someone wrote your nick in a message.
• Click the checkbox which says [ ] Play a sound: and then use the folder icon to the right of it to select a sound to play.

You can also choose other types of notifications for other events from this dialog.

Enabling Graphical Emoticons

Stop Konversation, add the following to your ~/.kde/share/config/konversationrc and restart Konversation:

[Themes]
 EmotIconTheme=Default
 EnableEmotIcons=true

Please note that graphical emoticons are formally unsupported and the code is unmaintained.

Creating an SSH tunnel before connecting

Open Settings -> Identities. Select your identity and goto Advanced tab and enter at Pre-shell command ~/ssh-tunnel.sh

Then create an ~/ssh-tunnel.sh file with something like:

 # Enter your own ssh-tunnel command
 ssh -C -N -L 6667:irc.efnet.org:6667 cartman@southpark.com&
 # wait some seconds to establish the tunnel before continuing
 sleep 5

Then chmod +x ~/ssh-tunnel.sh and any network using this identity will set up an ssh tunnel before it connects!

You have to use localhost as server and the login-process for the tunnel-server should be automated by ssh-agent and the port only works once so you have to use a different script for each connect. All-in-all maybe its easier to set up the tunnel(s) in Konsole or use a SSL-capable server. nobs 11:11, 15 February 2006 (EST)

Importing the mIRC Server List

On this page you can find a script that will append the contents of mIRC's venerable servers.ini to your Konversation config file.
