How to view channel list? #413

Open shader opened 10 months ago

shader commented 10 months ago

I feel like this should be obvious, but I haven't found it mentioned in any documentation or issues.

I'm used to using the /list command to get a channel list from the IRC server, but circe seems to implement it's own command system, and it doesn't exist.

  1. How are you supposed to get a list with circe?
  2. Is there a list of desired / planned commands? I could probably help a bit if I know they're wanted and not just my own misunderstanding

Regarding 1, yes, there has been an issue and the problems mentioned there still apply: https://github.com/emacs-circe/circe/issues/407

Regarding 2, there isn't really such a thing. Feel free to discuss on the IRC channel or open issues as you see fit. While I happen to maintain Circe these days, I also do not invest much time in it, so the list of open issues isn't to be mistaken as roadmap or anything.

Thanks, that makes a lot of sense.

Maybe you could add this tip to the wiki somewhere?

I also like the idea of suggesting of /quote in the error message for unrecognized commands; somehow I missed it in the command list even when I went looking for something like that.

I could add it to the wiki (and honestly, so can anyone on Github), but he question is, where? /quote is already documented, but I'm not sure where it would make sense to put this information.

The other suggestion would work, do you have any specific wording in mind?
