J’utilise Irssi depuis un certain nombre d’années et m’étais fait une configuration personnalisée.
Or, j’ai fini par regretter le choix d’avoir, dans cette configuration, désactivé la toute première fenêtre : celle du statut et des messages des serveurs.
Après de fastidieuses recherches, voici la ligne qui va bien pour la réactiver :
mainwindows = { 1 = { first_line = "1"; lines = "22"; }; };
Source : le fichier de configuration présent dans cet excellent article.
Au cas où il viendrait à disparaître, je le recolle intégralement ici.
#This needs to be changed before it will work - in place of #channel put a
#channel name, in place of irc.server1,2,3.org put the name of your server, in
#place of server1,2,3 put the name you want the server to be known as. Make
#sure you keep these consistant throughout the config. Remember to change the
#realname and nick values too. Hilights will also need to be set. This config
#will autoconnect to 3 servers and 7 channels. For more just copy and paste the
#relevant details and change the values. For more information please see
#http://irssi.org or please email me at irssi@carina.org.uk
