hexchat's Issues

Shift+Tab not working as a shortcut

I want Ctrl+Tab to switch forward a tab, which works. I have Ctrl+Tab set to Change Page 1 Relative.

The problem comes with Ctrl+Shift+Tab, I want it to move back one tab, so I set C+S Tab to Change Page -1 Relative. Unfortunately, all it does is do what you'd expect Shift+Tab to do, without any shortcuts set.

No beep when away

It would be great to have an option to disable beeps (on private messages, channel highlights...) when marked as away on the server.

Thanks

new network

Hello their can you add irc.chat4all.org to the network list its a big network

Channel requiring key not rejoined automatically

My ISP has a bad habit of dropping our connection just long enough to interrupt my IRC session, and previously X-Chat-WDK would recover gracefully and continue forward. Since upgrading to r1508, and continued on now with HexChat, I notice that I am only automatically rejoined to my channels which do not require a key, presenting me with a log missing potentially hours of chat and only the short message: Cannot join #channel (Requires keyword).

Auto-join works correctly on first load of HexChat, so I know that the keys and channels are properly configured. This bug can be triggered by issuing the /reconnect command on the affected server(s), as HexChat will fail to auto-rejoin then as well.

Skip network list on startup.

On windows, if we select the skip network list on start up and press the close button, the setting is not saved.

Hexchat portable install on Windows seems to forget some settings.

On a Windows PC that I do not have admin rights on, I've discovered that hexchat, when installed portably, does not save the options to skip either the new server (join channel) dialog on connect, or the serverlist at startup, and does not save nick choices.
(Side note: thanks for making non-admin installs possible. IRCing on windows is much less painful now.)

Hanging in Hexchat 2.9.1 on launch / reconnect

Hi, I run Windows 7 with Hexchat 2.9.1 x64, and it hangs when it launches and when it attempts to reconnect to networks. I connect to seven networks and have never experienced this issues with previous versions.

Here is the output from the 'About' page:

Delay for Network -> "Servers for" Connect Command

I have a /msg ChanServ IDENTIFY command for the Connect Command box below the "Favorite Channels" line for one server. The "problem" is, it does not work because the NickServ password verification is run virtually at the same time, and as a result I always get this (second + third line):

[]
-NickServ- This nickname is registered and protected. If it is your nick, type /msg NickServ IDENTIFY password. Otherwise, please choose a different nick.
-ChanServ- Password authentication required for that command.
-ChanServ- Retry after typing /msg NickServ IDENTIFY password.
services ... sets mode
-NickServ- Password accepted - you are now recognized.
[/]

But not for ChanServ, so it gets ignored; NickServ has to come first. Could there be a set delay for that one, so it waits its turn?

(Excellent work on HexChat, btw. I adore the colored scrollback, to name one. :) )

Links without http(s):// do not work on Windows.

Any link, like google.com, will show up as a link, but clicking it (with gui_url_mod 0) and right clicking -> Open in Browser do not work at all.

Tray Icons don't work

I found out that for whatever reason the tray icon does not work correctly, either to DLL or the build in one. It seems to work if I unload and reload though. I did a full reinstall of HexChat but it did not fix the problem. I don't know what is going on, but it's annoying.

Spellcheck not working

How can I give helpful info?

%H in Text Events breaks tabulation

Using %H to hide certain parts of text in Text Events breaks tabulation.
An example with Your Message:
(1) Works: <$1>$t$2
(2) Doesn't work: %H<%O$1$H>$O$t$2

Pic example: http://i.politeia.in/di-BVDR.png
Green lines: (1)
Orange lines: (2)

Implement a decent way to change the tray icons

Right now, hexchat has a really weird way of doing it. On upstream xchat (and hexchat), you have to put icons in /usr/share/xchat/. While this works, it's not as intuitive as just changing them in the preferences window or using icons from the GTK icon theme.

Window Splitting Feature?

I use Hexchat on my Windows OS and it's lovely, my favorite irc client. There's one thing I really miss though when I'm using it instead of weechat though. Window Splitting. I'm not sure how hard it would be to add this feature but I'd really love if you could add it.

Possibly set it up so you can have multiple pages of split windows so you can have like Page 1 with your channels in Server A, Page 2 with channels in Server B? Just having something like weechat or irssi would still make me very happy though.

Thanks!

Increased darknet support

Support for darknet IRC networks like Tor and I2P would be wonderful. Some ideas I have:

Variable timeout for nickserv identifying

Option to randomize the User Name/Real Name fields on connection, and/or per account

Private mode that disables CTCP, DCC, logging, etc

Not totally needed, but an easy Tor option in the proxy window

Native SASL support for Tor connections to Freenode, or at least a working SASL plugin included with hopefully a GUI.

Encrypted server/ignore/friend lists needing a password on network connection

MiniGTK like XChat?

Would it be possible to use a trimmed-down version of GTK like the official builds of Xchat use? They're noticably faster on all of the machines i've tried. I'd love to switch to HexChat, but it just feels so much slower and bloated than the outdated official builds.

Question - Python27.dll missing...

I have Python 2.7 installed - and 2.6 if it matters - long before installing Hexchat, and I've altered some elements of Python 2.7 stdlib that I'd like to leave on my PC without altering further. Both versions work.

ISSUE: When I install Hexchat and I indicate in the installer to provide Python support I get: "Python27.dll is missing". When I start Hexchat it stalls for about 2 min ("program is not responding"), and if left alone it starts up (with no Python support). Doing a search on my PC (win64) for Python27.dll returns zero results.

If I follow the install instructions for Hexchat explicitly, I'd be doing the following:

1. blow away the old 2.7 Python
2. Install Hexchat
3. Re-install Python 2.7

I'd prefer not to remove my version of Python.

QUESTION: How can I get Python27.dll installed in the correct dir in order for Hexchat/Python to work correctly? I can't find Python27.dll for download (google searches), and I'd like to avoid troubleshooting that involves removing my modded version of Python27 unless I can avoid it.

Thank you in advance,

-J

Tabs on top

It would be great to have tabs on top.

Custom variables

I'd like to see support for custom variables that we can set with /set <variable> <value>, and add to plugin interfaces the ability to read variables from the user's configuration. This would be useful for script writers to set variables for their scripts without having to play about with outside files.

Show marker line is not clickable in the Preferences dialog

I find that I can't toggle "Show marker line" on or off in the Preferences/Text Box dialog. When clicking, the previous option gets selected instead: "Transparent background".

As a workaround it is possible to TAB to get the control focused and press space to turn it on/off or to /set text_show_marker 0.

I'm using the latest Windows 7 x86 build from the website (2.9.0), minimal install.

HexChat crashes when network connection dies.

I was able to reproduce this problem - basically, when my net disconnects (my ISP enforces dc every 24h) Hexchat crashes and I need to kill it in task manager. I'm using Hexchat 2.9.1 x86 on Win7sp1:

HexChat segfaulting

[14288.158308] hexchat[17547]: segfault at 2000000034 ip 000000000043ecb2 sp 00007fff17931f80 error 6 in hexchat[400000+a6000]

Suggestions! (warning, nitpicky)

Hi there,

Recently switched to HexChat after using (other popular IRC client) for years, I've been very happy with it! After using it for a bit over a month, I do have a few suggestions. I skimmed through the issues list and didn't see any of these, so hopefully they're not dupes (apologies if they are!)

For reference, I'm presently using HexChat 2.9.1 (revision r1521, x64 build) on Windows 7, GTK+ version 2.16.6.

1. I am aware the installer overwrites the 'gtkrc' file, and therefore I keep a backup handy - but is this necessary/could the installer have an 'upgrade' mode where it preserves user files?
2. I've noticed the native tray functionality (not hextray.dll) doesn't seem to remember its location. Windows 7 is capable of re-ordering and remembering tray icon positions, but HexChat seems to always create its icon on the left-most position on the tray.
3. The input bar doesn't seem to have "undo" functionality.
4. Is there a way to bypass a command being parsed in the input bar? For example, someone asks "what's the command to list channels", I need to type "./list" because typing "/list" would naturally process the command. Other clients have keys like CTRL+ENTER to bypass this.
5. Perhaps a feature to remember the order of windows... I'm aware of ALT+LEFT and ALT+RIGHT, but I must reset my window order each time I load my client (I use a bouncer, therefore I'm auto-joined to channels, and I prefer my channels in a particular order).
6. CTRL+HOME and CTRL+END would be nice to immediately seek to the top/bottom of a buffer. I attempted to implement a keyboard shortcut for this behavior, but change page/scroll page don't seem to support this.

I appreciate the consideration =) Thanks for the awesome free port.

HexChat freezes on link open

Hexchat on windows 7 x64 freezes when trying to open a link. The link may or may not have http(s). The only way to close hexchat afterwards is to kill the process. Tried with both Firefox and Chrome as default browser.

Are there any plans for true transparency on Linux? (Ex: Via "X Composisting Manager")

Quite a long time ago there was an Arch Linux package ( https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=20275 ) that incorporated a patch into it, which worked for a time on the SVN xChat repository, then changes voided it.

Just curious. :)

Scripting with the Javascript officially

The Javascript is most common language in the internet and web.
Support the Javascript as one of a official scripting engine.

Issue with dead key input using us-international keyboard layout.

For more information on the us-international keyboard layout: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keyboard_layout#US-International

When trying to input single or double quotation marks the result does not match the expected result, the expected result would be ' and " but instead I get ´ and ¨

This bug has been around for a while in xchat-wdk and now hexchat but I've never seen it on the official xchat build.

Optimize the text events dialog window

I'd recommend to optimize the text event dialog window. Issues:

1. the dialog window pops up always as too small and the description pane (on the borrom) is barely visible. This means manual resizing at each popup and also moving the horizontal resizers, so that the description pane is fully visible. The dialog window should be larger (and see next point too...).
2. The preview pane would be better fitting on the right side of the listview, or better yet the listview would contain 3 columns: Event, Text and Preview. This would also free up the space below the listview, so that description pane could use a larger portion of the dialog window, solving also the issue in point 1.

HexChat 2.9.1: Perl and Python scripts do not load automatically.

HexChat 2.9.0: Python and Perl scripts are loaded automatically from %APPDATA%\HexChat\ and/or %PROGRAMFILES%\HexChat\plugins.

HexChat 2.9.1: No longer works.

I am running HexChat 2.9.1 x64 on Windows 7 x64. HexChat is installed with Python and Perl support. I have not checked Tcl or Lua. I have not checked HexChat 2.9.1 x86. I have not checked on Linux.

I switched back and forth between HexChat 2.9.0 and 2.9.1 several times in hopes that I was simply imagining it.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Ensure HexChat is installed with scripting support.

2. Place a working script in %APPDATA\HexChat\ or %PROGRAMFILES%\HexChat\plugins.

module_name = "Hello, HexChat!"
module_version = "1"
module_description = "Example Python script."

print module_name

3. Start HexChat 2.9.1 and verify that they script was or was not loaded automatically.

(Suggestion) Create an official HexChat-endorsed script database

Before you read any further thinking that this is necessarily a programming-related issue, I'd like to say that is not necessarily a programming-related issue. But I couldn't find anywhere official to post this other than the GitHub for Hexchat. I could have messaged someone over IRC, but that isn't practical because IRC is instant messaging, not a forum-type environment where others can reply days later and improve upon what I'm about to post.

So XChat and its forks have scripting interfaces that use popular programming languages like Perl, Python, (and in the case of HexChat) Lua. This is all well and good. mIRC also has a scripting interface. Nothing new.

People write scripts, store them on the web, give them to other people. The trouble comes when trying to find a script that fits your needs. In the XChat family, there is one official but frankly rubbish database of scripts (not tagged, and thus not searchable, too large to manage, contains many 404 links, which shows that it is rarely updated, often in differing languages, can't be updated by script writers who must upload new versions of their scripts under separate entries), a vast amount of unofficial databases which suffer from the same problems since you can't search all of them at the same time, and also personal databases from all the people who like to maintain personal web sites, for which "Googling it" is impractical as not all of these personal web pages rank high on search engines. Or at least not the largest ones.

It would be nice to have a single, modernised, searchable, and official (by this, I mean a site created or endorsed by the HexChat project) database of scripts, where script makers can submit their scripts and be confident that their efforts are not in vain. Users should be able to enter the function they would like from a script "bluetooth proximity away" and, if such a script exists, find it stored in the same site, no matter how long ago it was made. The next thing that comes to mind is ratings. Scripts that work should be rated higher than those that do not.

If a new database can not be organised, maybe the project can make a deal with an existing one, for example, to be endorsed by the project as long as said database meets basic searchability requirements.

I believe this is an important issue, as the scripting interface is a very major feature of XChat (and all its forks, builds, and variants), one which I like because it uses programming languages which are popular elsewhere (not like mIRC where they invented their own).

Changing tab keyboard shortcuts

It would be nice to have Ctrl+Tab and Ctrl+Shift+Tab to go forward and backward a tab (respectively).

Alt+Right/Left to do the same thing would be nice too.

Thank you.

Add filter to the Text Events dialog

The Text Events dialog (reachable from Settings -> Advanced -> Text Events) contains a lot of items, each containing special characters in a large number. If someone wants to find items that contain a specific tag, it is very hard to find all of them.

To make easier finding tags in the items, I suggest to add a filter field on the top of the dialog, which can be used to filter out only the matching items. Then, only the matching items would be shown in the listview. The filter could look and behave like the usual filters in Eclipse.

Help for the /server command mentions +9999 is commonly used for SSL connections, which is not the case

A suggestion would be to change the help text for /server to say that +6697 is normally used for SSL connections, as most networks use 6667 for normal and +6697 for secure connections. +9999 is also used as well, but I do recall most networks preferring to use 6697 as it is closer to the normal port.

A few suggestions

I have a few suggestions that I'd like to run by you. First, it would be nice to have an option/setting to change between colored dots and colored symbols in the user list. Second I noticed something didn't feel quite right after clearing a page and eventually realized that it was because text started at the top of the view and worked its way down, as you spend most of your time with your eyes on the bottom of the view, this feels messy when switching from a tab with a full view and a tab with a view where the text is at the top or half way. Having the text start at the bottom regardless would also be a nice feature. My final suggestion is for a command to start connections in a new tab (unless there is one I don't know about?). When using /server it kills the current tabs connection, Irssi does this also, and lets you start up a new tab by using /connect with the same args.

Here's a screenshot that shows both the text starting from the bottom, and the symbols in the user list [http://postimage.org/image/wtz0qztd7/]

Other than that, excellent job with HexChat, best client I've used on Windows.

Try to regenerate the tray icon when the system tray crashes

The title sounds confusing, but I couldn't figure out a better way to say it. On panels that you can put system trays in, such as gnome-panel, xfce4-panel, etc, if you remove the tray, or it crashes, hexchat will not remake the tray icon like other icons do just fine. So, if it crashes, and hexchat is minimized, you have to kill hexchat and then start it again to get the tray back.

Change dbus service name to hexchat

In order to avoid (in some rare circumstances) conflicts with dbus and already installed xchat, it's recommendable to change the dbus service name:
src/common/dbus/dbus-client.c:27:#define DBUS_SERVICE "org.xchat.service"

As well as the gconf schemas:
hexchat.spec:106:gconftool-2 --makefile-install-rule /etc/gconf/schemas/apps_xchat_url_handler.schemas >& /dev/null || :
hexchat.spec:112: gconftool-2 --makefile-uninstall-rule /etc/gconf/schemas/apps_xchat_url_handler.schemas >& /dev/null || :
hexchat.spec:118: gconftool-2 --makefile-uninstall-rule /etc/gconf/schemas/apps_xchat_url_handler.schemas >& /dev/null || :
hexchat.spec:135:%{_sysconfdir}/gconf/schemas/apps_xchat_url_handler.schemas

src/common/dbus/Makefile.am:47:schema_DATA = apps_xchat_url_handler.schemas

"Alternative fonts" don't carry many common glyphs

My first instruction to someone having problems with unicode text is to add MS Gothic to the Alternative Fonts box. Is there a reason it's not in there by default? It's definitely not pretty, but it's a default font in all Windows installs, so it's available, and it covers very many CJK glyphs, which are widely used in emotes even outside asian communities. Arial and Lucida don't seem to cover anything in that area.

Tray Icon Behaviors with Windows reset every time

When I'm using Windows 7 with HexChat, every time I launch it, I have to change the behaviors for the Tray Icon, so that it'll always show and I can see when I have a notification to look at. Every time I launch the application, the Behavior is set to "Only show notifications". I then have to change it to "Show icon and notifications". It often times shows multiple copies of HexChat in the control panel task for the Tray Icons.

I'm not sure why this happens, as it's the only program that does it. Here is a screenshot of the setting I have to change every time I launch HexChat:

Buffer overflow in HexChat/X-Chat

I've seen this happen, and confirmed it affects both HexChat and X-Chat. From a random pastebin when googlng, since github won't let me post the unicode here:

Non-installer distribution for Windows

I enjoyed having the non-installer package for Windows with XChat-WDK. Can something like this also be made available on the Hexchat download page?

Themes not included with fresh install

Upon installation HexChat with the themes plugin I did not have any selection of themes and had to go to the HexChat website and download them myself.

I am not sure if this is a bug or not but seeing that these themes are less than 1KB each they should all be bundled with HexChat and installed if the theme plugin is enabled.

On open, not all chats are scrolled down to maximum

When I open Hex Chat, I prefer to have all chat boxes scrolled down to the maximum, but sometimes this doesn't work for some channels.

Note: this already happened with XChat.

404 on Offered HexChat Update

Currently, HexChat is offering an update with this link: https://github.com/downloads/hexchat/hexchat/HexChat%20%20x64.exe

This link 404s. This occurs on Windows 7, 64 bit with a 64 bit HexChat install.

HexTray might be taking over shortcut

EDIT: FIXED
Found that it was the HexChat icon addon/plugin utilizing the ctrl-shift-h shortcut, and took it over, even though I unchecked that option. I rechecked that option, and restarted hexchat. It works fine now.

Windows 7, 64bit
Ctrl-Shift-T (Reopen last closed tab in chrome) isn't working while HexChat is open for me. This could be possibly what's happening:

http://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/chrome/hpjwrPvXQ_s
http://productforums.google.com/forum/#!category-topic/chrome/discuss-chrome/gg_fEvyl3FM

Once HexChat is closed, the keyboard shortcut works fine again.

Patches for correct/better supplying of macros (libtoolize)

These are basically recomendations by libtoolize. Lets hope this makes less troublesome the compilation of hexchat on systems like RHEL or CentOS (it might still be needed some old versions of autoconf/automake installed - lets hope not).

Specialized Unicode character crashes HexChat in 2.9.0/Windows 7

Hey,

This is a problem which also existed on YChat, and it's the primary reason I switched to HexChat.

The character generated by the below python script will crash HexChat if it appears in the text window. I have not tested it anywhere else, but I assume it will have a similar effect.

f = open('test.txt', 'w')
f.write(u'\U000e005f\r\n'.encode('utf-8'))
f.close()

I was told in irc://irc.freenode.net/#hexchat that this bug was fixed, but that does not appear to be the case.

Here's the contents of my "About" window.

(Suggestion) Coloured scrollback nicknames

It would be nice if nicks that are in scrollback history would be coloured.

Identd servicer doesn't use correct network usernames.

Setting a non-global user name for a network doesn't result in that network always getting the correct user name, and often sets it incorrectly on other networks.

Here is me on the same network at different times (after a reconnect due to a ping time out).
