Weechat

might want to play with the mouse support...see what it can do...but it's not really usefull for the script I will eventually write

Install

sudo apt-get install weechat

key bindings

The default keys Alt-<Left Arrow> and Alt-<Right Arrow> Interfered with the default keybindings of byobu. Changing keybindings was surprisingly easy. At the WeeChat command line type /key unbind (and then press Alt-K, and after that press Alt-<Left-Arrow> and weechat fills the rest out for you) and press enter.

/key unbind <Alt-K, Alt-<Left-Arrow>>

to rebind that key to CTRL-<Left-Arrow> it looks like this:

/key bind <Alt-K, CTRL-<Left-Arrow>> (replace the command input -1 with buffer -1)
