Vision är en IRC-klient ursprungligen utvecklad för BeOS. Dokumentation och bugghanterare finns på Visions hemsida.
The mest välbesökta är den engelskspråkiga #haiku på irc.oftc.net.
Some advice, especially if you're new to IRC:
Search the web for "IRC etiquette" to learn about the do's and don'ts of chatting. Without much searching, I found Getting help on IRC by Christoph Haas to be quite helpful.
By registering your nickname you make sure nobody can pull any shenanigans and you gain the trust of the residents. See OFTC's FAQ on that matter.
Set up a sound in Haiku's Sounds preferences to be notified if someone mentions your nickname. People don't always watch their IRC client screen. Putting the nickname of the person you're talking to at the beginning of what you're about to post increases your chance to be noticed. Similar to the Terminal, Vision supports tab-completion for nicknames, i.e. if you enter the starting letters of a nickname and press the tab key, Vision completes it with the first name that matches.
Keyboard shortcuts
Vision provides a few handy keyboard shortcuts:
| TAB | Tab-completion like in Terminal: After entering a few letters of a nickname, hitting TAB completes to the first matching nickname. | |
| ↑ / ↓ | When the input control has focus, this will cycle through your recently entered text. | |
| ALT ↑ / ↓ | Activates the window that appears above / below the currently active (selected) one in the "Window list" | |
| SHIFT ALT ↑ / ↓ | Similar to ALT ↑ / ↓, but with a twist. Instead of activating the window immedietly above / below the current one, it looks ahead. If there are any windows with higher status bits then the current window, it jumps to those. It jumps to the highest found status bit first. To understand this, you must know that Vision color codes windows in the list with different "status bits" depending on how its contents have changed since it last had focus:
