Nice irssi theme to fit with my fancy screen status bar

by mmnicolas on Nov.09, 2009, under gnu/linux

As another part of my basic setup, here is my irssi theme file:

default.theme.tar

And my precious key bindings, see this post to understand why it is from F7 to F10.

For this to work, just copy/paste this into your irssi:

Useful and nice looking shell with GNU Screen

by mmnicolas on Jul.28, 2009, under gnu/linux

This is how i got my linux shell looking so wonderful, using GNU Screen of course and its famous ~/.screenrc configuration file.

Let’s create it and paste this into it:

#hardstatus string ” %wb%-w%wr%n %t%-%+w %=%D %d %M %y %c”
#hardstatus string “%r%c%k | %w% ? (%h)% ?”
#hardstatus string “%{gk}[ %{G}%H %{g}][%= %{wk}%?%-Lw%?%{r}(%{W}%n*%f %t%?(%u)%?%{r})%{w}%?%+Lw%?%?%= %{g}][%{B} %m/%d %{W}%c %{g}]“
hardstatus string ‘%{= c}[ %{W}%H %{c}][%= %{= w}%?%-Lw%?%{c}(%{W}%n*%f%t%?(%u)%?%{c})%{w}%?%+Lw%?%?%= %{c}][%{W} %d/%m %{W}%c %{c}]‘

bindkey -k F1 prev
bindkey -k F2 next

screen -t irssi 1 irssi -c irc.freenode.net
screen -t mutt 2 mutt
screen -t monitor 0 lwatch -i /dev/xconsole

hardstatus alwaysignore hardstatus alwayslastline

The whole aesthetic thing reside in the first uncommented line, this is where it sets what is displayed in the hardstatus line which is always the last line. You can find documentation about the variables that can be used to display different types of information in the screen man page. ($ man screen).

As for the bindkey, you’ve guessed they bind keys to go forward and backward in your terminal tabs, and yes F1 means F11, don’t ask me why. I use F11 and F12 because i intend to use F9 and F10 in irssi to move between windows.
