BitlBee - Catch Command
Sometimes I type messages in the wrong window. As I am not gossiping, those are not specifically embarrassing. However BitlBee commands may contain snippets of private information, which should not be made public.
This script save such situations by stopping messages which looks like BitlBee commands and asks for confirmation. The confirmation is simple : up arrow and Enter. I mean, if the message is repeated between a given amount of time, it is let to pass.
Usage
This script is not interactive, so it defines no command.
To get some information use the /help bb-catch command.
Configuration
Use the /set command to configure this script. The settings are queried when using them, so changes will be visible automatically on next use.
| Setting | Type | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
bitlbee-catchcommand_active |
boolean | turns the command catching on and off | true |
bitlbee-catchcommand_timeout |
integer | time to wait for confirmation, in seconds | 3 |
bitlbee-catchcommand_command |
string | space separated list of commands to catch | account add allow ( … TL;DR ) |
bitlbee-catchcommand_channel |
string | space separated list of channels to ignore | &bitlbee |
