h1. Tips
h2. Unicode
If you ever experience an issue with displaying unicode characters (which is not just an encoding issue), try type:
<pre>/setoptions Messages UseDrawText True</pre>
This will enable a different method for drawing messages.
To disable, type:
<pre>/setoptions Messages UseDrawText False</pre>
h2. Auth before joining a channel
If you need to be authed with nickserv before joining a channel, you can use the [[/sleep]] (or [[/timer]]) command in your serverlist "Run these commands on connect" field:
<pre>
/msg nickserv identify <password>
/sleep 3 /join #channel1,#channel2
</pre>
/sleep 3, means wait 3 seconds before running the following command.
_A dedicated field in the serverlist for this is planned as well as "SASL":http://ircv3.net/specs/extensions/sasl-3.1.html support which makes this a non issue._
h2. Copy text from message buffer
When you select text from the message buffer, AdiIRC will automatically copy the text to the clipboard when you release the left mouse button.
If you prefer to manually press %(key)CTRL% + %(key)C%, %(key)c%, you can go to [[Options_Dialog|Options]] -> [[Messages_Options|Messages]] and disable "AutoCopy selected text to clipboard" and "AutoFocus editbox".
_These options might be merged into one soon as well as a feature to ask which method to use._
