Using Built-in Scripts
- Konversation has many built-in scripts to make Konversation more fun to use. The following scripts come bundled with Konversation:
- /media
- shows what you play in your media player (several players are supported)
- /weather
- displays weather information if you have KWeather installed and running (KDE 3)
- /cmd
- runs a command and prints the output - try
/cmd uname -a - /uptime
- prints the current uptime information of your machine
- /sayclip
- prints the top entry saved in Klipper
- /sysinfo
- Shows information about your system.
- /fortune
- Shows a random fortune from scripts/fortune.dat
DCC Tricks
- You can DCC any link supported by KDE in Konversation.
Try/dcc send <nickname> http://www.slashdot.org
Kontact Integration
- You can associate nicks with address book entries and track their online status from Kontact. To do so right click a nick, use and select the addressbook entry you want to associate. And that's it. Now you can see their online status from Kontact.
- If you install kuick plugin from kdeaddons/konq-plugins you can right click a filename choose , select one of your online contacts and Konversation will DCC the file to that contact.
Nick Completion
- If you chose a nick using tab-completion, the next time you press Tab key Konversation will insert last completed nick automatically.
- You can skip some part of nicks while using nick completion. For example if your bouncer adds ~ prefix to nicks you can add following to your ~/.kde/share/config/konversationrc :
[Nick Completion] PrefixCharacter=~
- Then it won't take ~ prefix into account while doing nick completion. So to get ~foo you just do fo<tab> and it will complete it to ~foo. You can use any valid string for PrefixCharacter like ~,~d,~df,etc.
Sound Notifications
You can have Konversation notify you with a sound event whenever your name appears in a channel.
- Go to in the menubar.
- Select .
- Click the checkbox which says and then use the folder icon to the right of it to select a sound to play.
You can also choose other types of notifications for other events from this dialog. 
Enabling Graphical Emoticons
Stop Konversation, add the following to your ~/.kde/share/config/konversationrc and restart Konversation:
[Themes] EmotIconTheme=Default EnableEmotIcons=true
Please note that graphical emoticons are formally unsupported and the code is unmaintained.
Creating an SSH tunnel before connecting
Open . Select your identity and goto and enter at ~/ssh-tunnel.sh
Then create an ~/ssh-tunnel.sh file with something like:
# Enter your own ssh-tunnel command ssh -C -N -L 6667:irc.efnet.org:6667 cartman@southpark.com& # wait some seconds to establish the tunnel before continuing sleep 5
Then chmod +x ~/ssh-tunnel.sh and any network using this identity will set up an ssh tunnel before it connects!
You have to use localhost as server and the login-process for the tunnel-server should be automated by ssh-agent and the port only works once so you have to use a different script for each connect. All-in-all maybe its easier to set up the tunnel(s) in Konsole or use a SSL-capable server. nobs 11:11, 15 February 2006 (EST)
Importing the mIRC Server List
On this page you can find a script that will append the contents of mIRC's venerable servers.ini to your Konversation config file.
Turn on Auto Spell Check
Right click the text input line and select .
On-Demand Ghosting
Use this method to regain ("ghost") your nick upon reconnection to freenode.
