Build Status Coverage Status

A WeeChat script that sends highlight and message notifications through notify-send. It requires libnotify, which provides the notify-send application.

Screenshot

Note that the exact appearance depends on the configuration of your notification system as well as on the used icon.

Requirements

Installation

  • Put the notify_send.py script to ~/.weechat/python/.

  • Add a symbolic link to it in the ~/.weechat/python/autoload/ directory to make the script load automatically when WeeChat starts:

    $ cd ~/.weechat/python/autoload
    $ ln -s ../notify_send.py

The script allows you to set the following options, either by running /set plugins.var.python.notify_send.XXX YYY or by using the iset.pl script.

  • notify_on_highlights. Send notifications on highlights. Default: on.

  • desktop_entry: Name of the desktop entry for WeeChat. Default: weechat.
  • timeout: Time after which the notification disappears (in milliseconds). Set it to 0 to disable the timeout. Default: 5000 (5 seconds).
