Running nicklist with irssi using screen inside tmux?

Question

I try to run the nicklist addon with irssi using screen inside tmux but strangely :) it doesn't work and I get the input on top of the screen. Is it possible to run nicklist when you are on tmux?

Answer 1

An alternative way is splitting your current window in tmux (C-b + h or whatever you set up your shortcut) (horizontal), resize that window (C-b + left/right) and then activate nicklist.pl in the "FIFO" way:

In irssi:

• /NICKLIST FIFO (only the first time, to create the fifo)

In a shell:

• In the window we split and resize: $ cat ~/.irssi/nicklistfifo

Then in irssi again:

• /SET nicklist_heigth "height of nicklist"

• /SET nicklist_width "width of nicklist"

• /NICKLIST FIFO

So at the end you should have:

---------irssi ---------- |nicklist
