Options Dialog¶

AdiIRC has a lot of options which can be confusing, however the defaults are good enough in most cases.

It can be opened by pressing the ALT + O hotkey, by typing /options or by opening File -> Options in the Menubar.

Most options are saved to the config.ini file which can be found by typing /paths -o or from Menubar -> Tools -> Config Files.

See also /options, /setoption.

Search options¶

You can narrow down the option you want by typing in the Searchbox at the top left corner, it will mark the matches with a red rectangle.

For performance reasons, only text/labels and group labels are searchable, dropdown/list items are not searched.

Example search for "Spacing":
