• Network selector helps you pick servers from the most popular chat networks
• Connect to an unlimited number of networks and channels
• Highlights: IRC can be overwhelming, but with Linkinus you’ll never miss an important message. When someone mentions your nickname, that line will be highlighted so you don’t miss it.
• Identities: it’s you, on IRC. Save your preferred and alternate nicknames in a reusable fashion. And if you provide password credentials, Linkinus will automatically authenticate to NickServ, NickOP, Q, X, G, SrvAuth and AuthServ.
• Displays IRC colors
• Autoconnect/autojoin features
• All standard IRC commands supported from the input field, such as: /me, /all, /away, /ban, /bankick, /clear, /nick, /join, /query, /notice, /quit, /part, /topic, /server, …)
• Blowfish support in channels & queries (/setkey sets the key, /delkey removes it, /key shows it). Automatic key exchange is also support via /keyx
• Channel op commands (/op, /deop, /voice, /devoice, /halfop, /dehalfop, …)
• OPER commands (/oper, /kill, /gline, …)
