Echo to the most recently active window on current network...
Like echo -a, but echo -r will not echo to a window on another network.
/help /scid
Read the help file you [censored] . (:
I'm not asking for a way to script around the bug...
as Armageddous said.. it is easyly scriptable
scid $lactivecid echo -a text
what would you use -r for ¿?
Easy? Maybe, but not this "scid $lactivecid echo -a text" echo -a always echos to the active window regardless of what the scid is set to... Thus you see the logic of adding this argument to the echo command?
There can only be one active window, so /scon 2 echo -a lala will echo lala on the active window, regardless of what you specify instead of 2 (supposing such an scon exists). If you don't want it to echo to the active window don't specify the -a switch, specify a window name instead.
But the thing is that echoing to the last active window for a certain connection isn't very useful to 99.9% of people (if it is in fact useful to anyone). The entire point of echoing to the active window is so that the user can see the message instantly, echoing to a window which isn't active anymore is pointless since they still have to change windows to see what's being said, except now they have to remember which window was last active. If you want something to be echoed to a window based on connection, use the Status window of that connection instead.
I like to not echo everything to the status window... There are some lines of text that I would want in the active window, if I was using that network. Those same lines I would not want in the active window while using a different network.
Prehaps then an argument that works like echo -a, but will not echo to active if $cid is not $activecid, instead it will echo to the status window on the same network. Does this sound more useful? Why are you all so against this?
