Description

Layer for ERC IRC chat.

Features

Highlight nicks (using erc-hl-nicks)
Image inline support (using erc-image)
Logging to ~/.emacs.d/.cache/erc-logs and ViewLogMode for viewing logs (using erc-view-log)
YouTube videos Thumbnails inline (using erc-yt)
Social Graph for ERC messages (using erc-social-graph)
ERC yank, if pasting more than 5 lines, create a gist for it. (needs to have github layer enabled, or using gist package)
Optional SASL authentication via the variable erc-enable-sasl-auth (using erc-sasl)
Gitter support! This includes clickable issue numbers, inline markdown highlighting, and more (check package doc). Go to irc.gitter.im to get credentials and use erc-tls to connect ( SPC a i E ).
Completion of Emojis using company-emoji (still needs a way of showing, either using the emoji layer or having a proper font) 👏

Install

Layer

To use this configuration layer, add it to your ~/.spacemacs. You will need to add erc to the existing dotspacemacs-configuration-layers list in this file.

OS X

It's recommended to install the terminal-notifier gem so that you get notifications via the OS X Notification Center.

Social graph

erc-social-graph needs graphviz to be installed on your system.

Key bindings

Key Binding	Description
`SPC a i e`	Starts ERC
`SPC a i E`	Starts ERC via TLS/SSL
`SPC a i i`	Switch to next active ERC buffer
`SPC m b`	Switch between ERC buffers
`SPC m d`	Interactively input a user action and send it to IRC.
`SPC m D`	Draw Social Graph using erc-social-graph
`SPC m j`	Join a channel, executes the /join command
`SPC m n`	Run "/names #channel" in the current channel.
`SPC m l`	Run the /list command
`SPC m p`	Part from the channel
`SPC m q`	Quit server

Note: If you want to connect securely to an IRC server, you must run erc-tls command on SPC a i E instead of the erc command.

Spacemacs Layout Support

ERC buffers are added automatically to the default layout for ERC controlled by the variable erc-spacemacs-layout-name (defaults to "@ERC") and the default binding ("E") is controlled by erc-spacemacs-layout-binding
