Life in a terminal can be hard. There are times when a GUI really is useful. “My kingdom for an Alt+Tab!” IRC can be one of those things. The best coping mechanism I’ve found is to google the hell out of any given problem I have until it’s thoroughly solved. Example: Managing a ton of windows in IRC- specifically irssi. There are terminal clients that do this right off the bat, but irssi is old and trusted. Without further ado, “100 Windows in irssi”, blatantly ripped off from this guy.
