I like the command-line. I’m forced to use #windows. #windowsterminalpreview is pretty nice. I have menu items for #gitbash, for #ubuntu under #wsl, for cmd.exe, for #powershell, #azure, and #anaconda. I do a little editing here in actual #Vim but mostly I use #PyCharm and #ideavim. I do all my #git commands in the terminal. Same with #pixi though in my situation it’s often convenient to use pixi from cmd.exe. This toot is a strong recommendation for Windows Terminal Preview.

My current WeeChat setup

Since it's come up in conversation a couple of times in the past week (waves at @snowdusk__ and @yarmo), here's a #screenshot of my current #WeeChat setup (though with different buffers selected than my usual arrangement).

"What am I looking at on the screenshot?"

A buffer list ¹ on the left. Buffers represent the channels, private message streams and status timelines from the various chat media you are connected to.
Side the buffer list are a variety of horizontally and vertically panes, which @weechat called 'windows', each window showing the contents of one
² of the buffers.

"What buffers are visible in these window panes?"

From top left to bottom right these are:

#sourcehut's water cooler IRC channel,
#Twitter timeline, provided through the Twitter #libpurple plugin for #Bitlbee.
#chanmon, a Perl script to display activity from all currently active (and monitored) buffers.
#highmon, a Perl script to display highlights from all (highlight-monitored) buffers.
Lobby #IRC channel, general discussion channel.
#openMSX on #liberaChat IRC network, for discussions regarding the #MSX emulator I occasionally contribute to.
#Twitch chat channel for #Kikoskia's stream, provided by setting up a Twitch OAuth token and connecting over their IRC-compatible interface along with twitch python script for stream status details.
The #WeeChat IRC channel on #libera.

"What's making it work?"

All running in a #tmux terminal multiplexer session, running under #WSL2 on #Windows, in the #WindowsTerminalPreview #terminal client.

(Repost to fix an at-mention...)

Footnotes

¹ though I still use buffers.pl script rather than the built-in buflist plugin because I'm too lazy to migrate my settings to make it look and act in the way I've gotten used to.
² or more, as buffers can be merged, displaying the contents of each of the merged buffers chronologically in the same window pane.

not to toot my own horn, but I'm actually quite chuffed with how this #CLI tool works already. :D

Sure, it doesn't have any thumbnails (which I guess I could hack in with something like #termimage, but I'd rather wait till my current #terminal emulator (#WindowsTerminalPreview) adds proper image support), but I already noticed I missed its quick sorting and filtering while using the #YouTube app on my phone.

Ugh, #WindowsTerminalPreview still doesn't seem to support typographical bold...
