If you are leaving your workstation for a short time, use the /away command instead.

Like the /me command above except that the message is sent to all the channels and queries you have open on all the servers you have connected in Konversation.

Same as /part above.

When entered in any channel, query, or DCC tab, disconnects from the corresponding server and closes all channel, query, or DCC tabs open on that server.

You will be prompted for your IRC-Op user name and password in either case.

In certain channels (with +m flag), users cannot send messages unless they have voice privilege. This command attempts to give nick voice privilege. You must have channel operator privilege to execute this command. This command is mostly used when you are an operator for a moderated channel.

If anyone tries to send you a private message or invite you to a channel, they will be told that you are away from your workstation for reason. To change your state back to normal, enter /away without a reason.

Like the /away command above except that the command is sent to all the servers you have connected in Konversation.

Invites the user with nickname nick to join channel. This command is especially useful if the channel is invite-only. When entered in a channel tab, channel may be omitted.

Sends cmd to the server.

When entered in a channel tab, sends msg to the channel. This is the same as entering msg in the channel Input Line. Useful for sending IRC commands when you don't want to execute the command. Two command characters (//) in a row does the same thing as /say. Also used by scripts to send messages.

Opens a new tab running a KDE Konsole.

Connects to the server at address url. If url is omitted, connects to the server associated with the tab where you enter the command. This is useful for re-connecting to a server when disconnected. If the server requires a password in order to connect to it, enter it for pwd. If the server requires a port number other than the default (6667), enter the url like this: irc.kde.org:6665.

Sends filename to the user with nickname nick. If filename is omitted, a dialog appears for you to select a file.

Opens a DCC Status tab.

Sends a PING message to nick or channel. This is useful for determining if someone you are talking with has a high network lag, or (when sent to a channel) if your system has a high lag.

Sends a message to nick or all users in channel. This is similar to the /msg command above, except that the message is sent using the CTCP protocol. The response on the other end depends on the IRC client program the user is running. For example, when conversing with another Konversation user, /ctcp Eisfuchs TIME will return the system time on Eisfuch's computer. /ctcp Eisfuchs VERSION will return the Konversation version number from Eisfuch's computer.
