This is a plugin for HexChat that will automatically change your nickname whenever you are away from your keyboard (AFK). Unfortunately Hexchat itself is missing such an essential feature. The plugin is written in Python.
- Automatically changes your nickname whenever you are AFK
Clone the repository and place and link to the AutoAFK.py file within your hexchat's addon directory:
cd ~
git clone https://github.com/ctron/hexchat-autoafk.git
ln -s hexchat-autoafk/AutoAFK.py .config/hexchat/addons/
Don't forget to restart HexChat.
Run /AUTOAFK HELP to see available commands.
