Let’s be honest for a second, the Irssi nick completion sucks. In
particular, it does not feature “partial” completion like BitchX or your
favourite shell might.
I found a script called niq on the “official” scripts page which
promised to relieve this shortcoming, but for some reason it wouldn’t
work.
So one day when I was muttering about this in the #irssi irc channel,
some guy (don’t remember you, sorry! contact me if you want credits.)
told me “well yea this is broken and there is a fixed version at
this-and-that place.”
And I was like “oh great why did noone ever tell me” — and this is
exactly the problem with the central Irssi scripts archive: badly
maintained.
I don’t even know what this page was where it had the fixed version,
sorry about that. But at least I mirrored the script so hopefully
someone will find it here.
