No? This will search the logfiles (if irssi is configured to create those at all) for a pattern. This still requires that you had to have an irssi client running and connected to the server/channel in question, during the time the user is afk. Which is why others recommend e.g. setting up ZNC.
mbw
There are also mutt and neomutt.
I personally have been using the latter for years, but it requires some time to setup and tweak until it fits your purposes.
Documentation is top-notch though, and customizability a first-class concern.
I used tmsu ("tag my shit up") for a while, but it required too much discipline and then I dropped it.
In addition, tools like fzf
for fuzzy file-search (comes with shell integration to e.g. replace the default history search in bash) and ripgrep-all
made this kind of organization unnecessary for me. It now suffices to have a vague idea where a thing is located and I can do a brute-force search in a few seconds.
The next-level filesystem argument is brought forward every few months, but I'm not buying it.
I should've done my homework before replying then :)
Although the relevant links have already been provided, the gist is
- Acme stands for some "generic" editor here, where you have to use the mouse a lot, which is perceived as slow
- Emacs is known to be very powerful (to the extend of being called an "OS with a bad editor"), but using unergonomic keyboard shortcuts
- Vim is an editor that has been designed for keyboard power users in mind, but which has the reputation of being difficult to learn
Yes they are wrong. A contribution may consist of "merely" a bug report. Even just asking questions may indicate that the UX or documentation is lacking.
