Libnotify notifications for rcirc.
Source:
To install, put it in your LoadPath and add the following to your InitFile:
(eval-after-load 'rcirc '(require 'rcirc-notify))
This library tries to use the following binaries to send the message:
Redefine `my-rcirc-notify-message`. Use %s for where you want the name of the person calling your name to go.
You might see a message saying “X is calling your name” but when you check your active rcirc buffers, you see nothing. What happened?
I found the following to be useful:
(defun occur-irc (regexp) "Run `multi-occur' for all buffers in `rcirc-mode'." (interactive "sList lines matching regexp: ") (multi-occur (let (result) (dolist (buf (buffer-list)) (with-current-buffer buf (when (eq major-mode 'rcirc-mode) (setq result (cons buf result))))) result) regexp))
Use it to find X in all your rcirc buffers. I discovered what had happened: *** X MODE +oooo kensanata – aaaah!
