=== Turn that annoying space off ===

If you turn on show_nickmode so you can see who is an op or voiced in a channel at a glance then irssi by default
will put a space in between the angle bracket and the nick. You can turn this off with:

`/set show_nickmode_space off`

=== Don't autojoin on invite ===

irssi ships with an annoying default which is to automatically join channels that you have setup as autojoin channels
when someone /invites you there. So you purposefully leave a channel because someone's boring you or to get some
work done and then anyone can /invite you back instantly. The solution is:

`/set join_auto_chans_on_invite off`

Irssi Tips

Auto loading of scripts on startup

If you want to use a script all the time, and therefore want it to load on startup, you can put commands in the ~/.irssi/startup file. So for instance I have this in mine:

/script load nickcolor.pl

So that my nicks start appearing in colour from the moment I load irssi. Or for my IRC bot I have:

/script load bot.pl

So that people can start trouting from the minute irssi runs.

  • Another way of accomplishing the same thing is to create a .irssi/scripts/autoload/ directory and put the scripts there.
