1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 | Q: it crashes if I do this or that
A: please please please send an e-mail to mail@vanheusden.com describing what you did when it crashed. I will do my best to fix it.
Q: function keys (F1, F2, etc.) don't work in putty from within 'screen'
A: go to change settings -> terminal -> keyboard and set function keys to 'xterm R6'
Q: f-irc uses only +/- 15 colors!
A: start it with TERM=xterm-256color
e.g.: TERM=xterm-256color f-irc
Q: if I request a list of occurences of a word in the word-cloud, I get far more results than what the number behind the word says
A: the count behind the word is the number of occurences in the time-interval in which this word cloud was determined. so older lines are not counted but do appear in the search.
Q: when just started, f-irc responds sluggish
A: at start, f-irc asks all joined channels for a list of users. processing of this data takes some time.
Q: pressing the ESC key wreaks havoc
A: the data produced by the ESC key is part of what is returned by other "special" keys (like F1-F12). As it is only part of it, ncurses (yes, not f-irc) expects more data to come in and waits for that. That's why pressing ESC makes f-irc look like it hang.
