# NAME
ido_switcher.pl
# DESCRIPTION
Search and select windows similar to ido-mode for emacs
# INSTALLATION
This script requires that you have first installed and loaded `uberprompt.pl`
Uberprompt can be downloaded from:
[https://github.com/shabble/irssi-scripts/raw/master/prompt_info/uberprompt.pl](https://github.com/shabble/irssi-scripts/raw/master/prompt_info/uberprompt.pl)
and follow the instructions at the top of that file for installation.
If uberprompt.pl is available, but not loaded, this script will make one
attempt to load it before giving up. This eliminates the need to precisely
arrange the startup order of your scripts.
## SETUP
`/bind ^G /ido_switch_start [options]`
## USAGE
`C-g` (or whatever you've set the above bind to), enters IDO window switching mode.
You can then type either a search string, or use one of the additional key-bindings
to change the behaviour of the search. `C-h` provides online help regarding
the possible interactive options.
### EXTENDED USAGE:
It is possible to pass arguments to the /ido_switch_start command, which
correspond to some of the interactively settable parameters listed below.
The following options are available:
- `-channels` -- search through only channels.
- `-queries` -- search through only queries.
- `-all` -- search both queries and channels (Default).
- `-active` -- limit search to only window items with activity.
- `-exact` -- enable exact-substring matching
- `-flex` -- enable flex-string matching
_If neither of `-exact` or `-flex` are given, the default is the value of
`/set ido_use_flex`_
#### EXAMPLE
- `/bind ^G /ido_switch_start -channels`
- `/bind ^F /ido_switch_start -queries -active`
__NOTE:__ When entering window switching mode, the contents of your input line will
be saved and cleared, to avoid visual clutter whilst using the switching
interface. It will be restored once you exit the mode using either `C-g`, `Esc`,
or `RET`.
### INTERACTIVE COMMANDS
The following key-bindings are available only once the mode has been
activated:
- `C-g` - Exit the mode without changing windows.
- `Esc` - Exit, as above.
- `C-s` - Rotate the list of window candidates forward by 1
- `C-r` - Rotate the list of window candidates backward by 1
- `C-e` - Toggle 'Active windows only' filter
- `C-f` - Switch between 'Flex' and 'Exact' matching.
- `C-d` - Select a network or server to filter candidates by
- `C-u` - Clear the current search string
- `C-q` - Cycle between showing only queries, channels, or all.
- `C-SPC` - Filter candidates by current search string, and then reset
the search string
- `RET` - Select the current head of the candidate list (the green one)
- `SPC` - Select the current head of the list, without exiting the
switching mode. The head is then moved one place to the right,
allowing one to cycle through channels by repeatedly pressing space.
- `TAB` - __[currently in development]__ displays all possible completions
at the bottom of the current window.
- _All other keys_ (`a-z, A-Z`, etc) - Add that character to the current search
string.
### USAGE NOTES
- Using C-e (show actives), followed by repeatedly pressing space will cycle
through all your currently active windows.
- If you enter a search string fragment, and realise that more than one candidate
is still presented, rather than delete the whole string and modify it, you can
use C-SPC to 'lock' the current matching candidates, but allow you to search
through those matches alone.

# BUGS:
- __FIXED__ Sometimes selecting a channel with the same name on a different
network will take you to the wrong channel.
# TODO
- __DONE__ C-g - cancel
- __DONE__ C-spc - narrow
- __DONE__ flex matching (on by default, but optional)
- TODO server/network narrowing
- __DONE__ colourised output (via uberprompt)
- __DONE__ C-r / C-s rotate matches
- __DONE__ toggle queries/channels
- __DONE__ remove inputline content, restore it afterwards.
- TODO tab - display all possibilities in window (clean up afterwards)
how exactly will this work?
- __DONE__ sort by recent activity/recently used windows (separate commands?)
- __TODO__ need to be able to switch ordering of active ones (numerical, or most
recently active, priority to PMs/hilights, etc?)
- __DONE__ should space auto-move forward to next window for easy stepping
through sequential/active windows?
