Feature request - integrated command list #43

Open ayust opened 12 years ago

It'd be nice if /twirssi would output a list of available commands (and even better if, /twirssi <foo> would output all commands containing the substring <foo>).

I'm all for it - but perhaps /twirssi_help? Or, I think there's a way to integrate with irssi's /help tree, so we could add the /twirssi commands there.

What, didn't mean to close it.

gedge commented 12 years ago

just to clarify, you have tried /twi<TAB><TAB><TAB> right? :-)

ayust commented 12 years ago

Rather inefficient when you consider that there are about 50 commands.

zigdon commented 12 years ago

Also, wouldn't be a bad idea to be able to add some inline documentation.

I sympathise that there are lots of (too many?) commands. I also find it frustrating to find the right command (I like tab-completion, but it's tedious at the moment, for finding the right command).

Having so many prefixes /twirssi_* ... /twitter_* .../tweet, /dm, etc... may not help.

Playing Devil's Advocate, I could argue that it's inefficient to put more code in twirssi.pl when there's a perfectly good using.html so RTFM'ing / searching in your browser is already available. Let's not duplicate effort.

However, perhaps we could (in this thread) develop the idea of having a /twirrsi <all_cmds_in_short_form> way of using twirssi, which does what you say (or allows tab-completion to use substring - not just the default prefix - searches).

Another thought, we could have a /twirssi_help search through using.html and present that text/help?

Thoughts?

Searching in browser is not really ideal at all when trying to remember a command to type on a smartphone.
