multiple on INPUT targets - mIRC Discussion Forums

From the bugs forum thread located here: https://forums.mirc.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=186596&page=1#Post186596

This is requesting the ability to handle multiple targets for the on INPUT, as on TEXT events handle. For example:
on *:INPUT:#,?:
would allow you to make one script for both channels and queries.

This could also be applied to other event types that currently only allow a single target.

What's wrong with the * character, which is currently available?

* includes @windows and dcc chats.

Hixxy: I realize that, and, after re-reading my post, I realize I could've worded it better.

KilledInAction: As a temporary solution, the * could be used, as this will cover channel and pm windows. If you want to know if it's a channel window or not, check the return from $chan.

If it's a channel window, then $chan will return the name of the channel, otherwise it'll return $null

Hixxy's notation is, realistically, if not literally, the only drawback that I know of.

*ignore*

Code:

on *:input:*:{
  if $window($target).type isin channel query { do stuff }
}
