You can use formatting shortcuts anywhere in your messages:
| Shortcut | Effect |
|---|
%B | Bold |
%I | Italic |
%U | Underline |
%R | Reverse (swap fg/bg) |
%O | Reset all formatting |
%C<color> | Set foreground color |
%C<fg>,<bg> | Set foreground and background |
%Cred Hello %O → red "Hello"
%C4 Hello %O → red "Hello" (by number)
%Cblue,white text %O → blue on white
%Bbold %Iand italic%O → bold and italic
%% for a literal percent sign.
Color Combos
Define reusable color shortcuts that you can use in any message with %name%text%O syntax.
Built-in Combos
%rainbow% — cycles through red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple, pink
Managing Combos
Show all defined combos.
/color combo add <name> <format>
/color combo add alert %B%Cred,white
/color combo add info %Ccyan
/color combo add fire %B%Corange,red
/color combo add <name> cycle <color1> <color2> ...
/color combo add pride cycle red orange yellow green blue purple
/color combo add usa cycle red white blue
/color combo remove <name>
/color combo test <name> <text>
Using Combos
Use %name% in any message to apply the combo, and %O to reset:
%rainbow%Hello world!%O
%alert%WARNING:%O server restarting
Config File
Combos are saved to config.toml via /save:
[combos]
alert = "%B%Cred,white"
info = "%Ccyan"
[combos.rainbow]
type = "cycle"
colors = ["red", "orange", "yellow", "green", "cyan", "blue", "purple", "pink"]
/alias
Create command aliases — shortcuts that expand to longer commands.
Then /ns identify mypassword expands to /msg [email protected] identify mypassword.
/alias — list all aliases
/alias remove <name> — remove an alias
Argument Placement with $*
By default, alias arguments are appended after the expansion with a space. For more control over where arguments go, use $*:
/alias chatops /quote chatops :$*
/chatops server is being updated expands to /quote chatops :server is being updated — the colon sits directly against the text with no extra space, which some IRC commands require.
Aliases are persisted via /save as an [aliases] section in config.toml:
/mouse
Toggle mouse support. When enabled:
- Click buffer names in the sidebar to switch
- Scroll wheel in the chat area to scroll history
Mouse is off by default. Persisted via /save or ui.mouse = true in config.toml.
/quit
Disconnect and exit Flume.
