    /set weechat.look.buffer_notify_default message
    /set weechat.look.hotlist_sort number_asc      
    /server add freenode chat.freenode.net
    /set irc.server.freenode.autojoin "##friendlyjava,#openknot"

To scroll up in Mac OS X Terminal.app (rather than holding down Shift+PageUp): `Esc` followed by `[5~` (scroll down is `Esc` then `[6~`) per https://emmanuelbernard.com/blog/2013/12/12/fixing-page-up-and-page-down-in-mac-os-x-terminal/

## Common commands

    /connect freenode
    /join #sourcefu

## To fix

### Mode noise

I believe the fix I was looking for was `/set weechat.look.buffer_notify_default message` as discussed at http://indiewebcamp.com/irc/2013-06-01

task #12499, filter mode changes after joins: http://savannah.nongnu.org/task/?12499

"When you see a mode change it's not "MODE" command received but a numeric command (for example 324 for channel modes). So you may have to ignore many numeric commands to ignore all modes." -- http://forums.flashtux.org/viewtopic.php?p=106&sid=62c78f547fb166200ca839a0d08d96d4#p106

### Can't click long links

"Presumably, you're running weechat in a terminal... the links are hard-wrapped... (you won't be able to click the full url)... `[urlgrab.py]` has one obvious limitation: it doesn't work well if you’re running weechat on a remote host" -- http://blog.lnx.cx/2012/08/14/weechat/

## Scripts

- hotlist2extern.pl: waiting for hotlist to change and then execute a user specified command or writes the hotlist to screen title - http://www.weechat.org/scripts/source/hotlist2extern.pl.html/

    /set plugins.var.perl.hotlist2extern.use_title "off"
    /set plugins.var.perl.hotlist2extern.external_command_hotlist "echo \'WeeChat Act: %X\' > /var/www/html/tmp/activity.txt"
