This repository contains Hexchat plugin which should make your life with Bitlbee much easier and nicer.

Grab bitlbee_extras.py, put into ~/.config/hexchat/addons and load it.

Make sure you have:

nick_format = %full_name

in global or account-specific configuration.

Plugin can be configured, see /help be and /be get all after plugin loading.

WARNING: Plugin will not work until you do:

/be set network NETNAME

Where NETNAME is a name of Bitlbee network. If you have it multiworded (e.g. "ZNC - Bitlbee") - just put them in quotes like:

/be set network "ZNC - Bitlbee"

This is a list of functions it executes:

• Automatically replaces bad XMPP MUC (and possibly other) nicknames with valid ones (taken from userhost).
