Circe Features

Circe supports most standard features one would expect of an IRC client, like per-channel and per-query windows, nick highlighting, flood protection, etc. Some of the less common features include:

• Channel activity is tracked in the mode line. C-c C-SPC cycles through channels with activity, and back to the buffer you came from.
• A fools list complements the ignore list. Lines from fools are by default hidden, but can be shown temporarily with a keyboard command. This makes it possible to ignore some annoying person, but still figure out what is going on in case someone starts talking with them.
• Both the ignore and fool features do not only ignore people, but try to be smart about also ignoring those who address the ignored person.
• Special netsplit handling to avoid the resulting flood.
• Time stamps do not get copied when chat text is copied using Emacs commands.
• Lines sent to the server are split automatically to keep them below the maximum line length for IRC. This splitting happens at word boundaries.

Lacking Features

• DCC has not been implemented.
