+ ChatZilla: Did You Know?
+
+
+
+
+
+The basics...
+
++ The networks listed in the *client* view on startup are clickable links.
+ Instead of typing /attach <network-name>, you can just click on one of the
+ links.
+
++ The view tabs are color coded, green means that something has happened in that
+ view since you last looked at it. Red means that someone has said something
+ to you.
+
++ ChatZilla will automatically highlight phrases that contain your nickname.
+
++ You can add to the list of words that cause messages to be highlighted with
+ the /stalk command. You can remove words from the list with the /unstalk
+ command.
+
++ You can quickly switch to another view using the function keys. F1 will
+ switch to the first view, F2 to the second, etc.
+
++ You can turn off the userlist, statusbar, and/or view tabs using the
+ File->Options menu.
+
++ You can see a list of commands by typing /commands.
+
++ You can get help on any command by typing /help <command-name>.
+
++ You can delete any view with the /delete command. Once deleted, the text from
+ that view will be lost. Deleteing a channel view is not the same as leaving
+ the channel. You will still be a member of the channel if you only /delete it.
+ It will reappear (without the previous contents) the next time activity occurs.
+
++ You can remove a channel or query view from the tab list without dropping its
+ contents. The /hide command will remove the view's tab, but keep the contents.
+ The next time something happens on that view, it will re-appear with the
+ previous text still intact.
+
++ You can recover deleted or hidden views. To recover a deleted *client* view,
+ use /client. To recover a network view use the /attach command, to recover
+ channel view use /join, and to recover a query view use /query.
+
+The cool commands...
+
++ /networks will display the list of networks as a list of clickable links.
+
++ /status will show your connection status. If you use /status from a channel,
+ you'll get information about the network and server you are connected to,
+ including connection duration, and last ping and lag (if available.) You will
+ also get status on the channel you are viewing, including number of operators,
+ number voiced, and topic.
+
+ Using /status from a network view will give you information on every channel
+ you are connected to.
+
+ Using /status from the *client* view will give you information on every network
+ you are connected to, as well as every channel on that network.
+
++ /disconnect can be used to disconnect from a network without quitting
+ ChatZilla. This can be useful if you are attached to more than one network
+ but want to leave only one of them.
+
+The more advanced stuff...
+
++ The input area can be switched to multiline mode by pressing [CTRL]+[UP].
+ Press [CTRL]+[ENTER] to sent the text to the server. In multiline mode,
+ the text you type not scanned for commands, so stray / characters will not
+ affect your post. To return to single line mode, press [CRTL]+[DOWN].
+
++ The place where messages appear can be styled to your own taste, if you
+ know a little css <http://www.htmlhelp.org/reference/css/>. See the comment
+ at the top of <http://lxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/source/extensions/irc/xul/skin/output-default.css>
+ for details.
+
++ You can manually bookmark an irc channel by creating a new irc:// bookmark.
+ From the "Manage bookmarks" window, create a new bookmark and enter
+ "irc://moznet/chatzilla", to bookmark the #chatzilla channel, for example.
+ You can also use a server name, as in "irc://irc.mcs.com/javascript".
+
++ irc:// urls work from normal web pages as well. You can link to your
+ irc channel from you home page. See
+ <http://www.w3.org/Addressing/draft-mirashi-url-irc-01.txt> for a description
+ of irc:// urls.
+
++ Turning off File->Options->Enable Smileys actually turns off all of the text
+ matching rules, including link detection, and bold/underline/italic. It will
+ also disable the part of ChatZilla that makes it possible to break long words
+ (ie, you'll end up with a horizontal scrollbar eventually.) This
+ option was added back when a few bugs in the JavaScript engine caused the
+ text matching rules to do Bad Things. You probably don't really want to turn
+ this off.
