F-IRC provides a console IRC client.
F-IRC is an IRC client for the console. It supports multiple servers, scrollback, and all the basic features one can expect from an IRC client.
When F-IRC is started, you'll see a list of channels and servers on the right.
The box around these is inverted. That means that if you use the left- and the
right cursor, they will work on the channels etc. If you press ^n, the box will
no longer be inverted and you can use the cursor keys for editting what you're typing.
If the channel-box is selected, press key right on a channel to get a list of
people in that channel. Press key left to exit this (and return to the list of
channels) or press key right on a name to get a menu via which you can kick
and ban people as well as get information on them. Press left on a server to
hide all the channels for that server, press right to unhide all channels.
Press cursor right on a channel to enter that channel. If there's a star in
front of channelname, someone wrote something in that channel. Press ^w to
jump directly to the next channel in which someone wrote something.
What's New in This Release:
· The cursor is finally visible in the edit-line.
· The program now runs on 64-bit platforms as well.
