I obviously use rcirc diffently than you (maybe because I'm using it with bitlbee) -- I have a separate buffer for each conversation, so I never type anything like "NICK: ..." -- I just type "...". So I never use any sort of completion. In this context, I just don't care about anything except the appearance, and the simple code I added works great. For completion to work properly, presumably it would have to add the abbrevs to the completion set and do the reverse mapping at some point; is this something fundamentally hard, or is it just a matter of coding? > What about not showing your own nick at all?

Well I rather _want_ to show at least some short indicator for myself, as it makes logs easier to read (anyway, how would you do that?). Thanks, -Miles -- Do not taunt Happy Fun Ball.
