How do I show my nick instead of >> #347

Closed ghost closed 5 years ago

ghost commented 5 years ago

Hi,

I"m very new to lisp and i'm wondering how I could change the display to show my nickname instead of just >> when I talk in a irc channel? Sorry if this is to much to ask in the issue tracker. Thank you!

The easiest solution is to customize circe-prompt-string to something like "gregf: ". The issue with this is that you're hardcoding your nickname, if you're ever using multiple networks with different nicknames, it wouldn't use the correct nickname on each network. For such a usecase you'd need to do something more involved, like the following untested snippet:

(defun my-circe-nick-prompt ()
  (lui-set-prompt (concat (circe-nick) ": ")))

(add-hook 'circe-mode-hook 'my-circe-nick-prompt)

wasamasa's solution changes the prompt. If you are talking about the lines you say in the channel, you can just do (setq circe-format-self-say "<{nick}> {body}").

Both of those are things I would like to be able to do. Thank you both very much!
