Consider have a buffer/channel opened in your weechat. I want to temporarily see all the messages of one user/nick. Is this possible? This means only the filtered nick messages will be shown (just for a while).

Coming from irssi, I'm used to being able to copy and paste messages from the message view of my terminal (PuTTY) running irssi with relative ease without having hard wraps on the text. This works when irssi is run directly, or when irssi is run in a screen session with the current window set to the size of the terminal (i.e. Ctrl-a, :fit). How do I achieve something similar for weechat? With the default layout, on the right, weechat draws a border and lists the nicks in the channel. On the left, there's a border for the date/time and the message source (the nick, or the event type). Is it possible to temporarily hide all the chrome of the window and present something like what's kept in the logs?

I have a WeeChat version 1.5 installed on Debian 8.5 with irc.server.freenode.ipv6 option set to on: 10:57:15 weechat | [server] (irc.conf) 10:57:15 weechat | irc.server.freenode.ipv6 = on (default: (undefined)) 10:57:15 weechat | 10:57:15 weechat | 1 option (matching with "irc.server.freenode.ipv6") This should force WeeChat to prefer IPv6 over IPv4. irc.freenode.net has IPv6 AAAA records present: $ dig @8.8.8.8 -t AAAA irc.freenode.net +noall +short chat.freenode.net. 2a00:1a28:1100:11::42 2a01:270:0:666f::1 2a01:7e00::f03c:91ff:fee2:413b 2001:6b0:e:2a18::118 $ ..and for example I'm able to ping irc.freenode.net over IPv6: $ ping6 -nc 4 irc.freenode.net PING irc.freenode.net(2001:5a0:3604:1:64:86:243:181) 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 2001:5a0:3604:1:64:86:243:181: icmp_seq=1 ttl=51 time=141 ms 64 bytes from 2001:5a0:3604:1:64:86:243:181: icmp_seq=2 ttl=51 time=141 ms 64 bytes from 2001:5a0:3604:1:64:86:243:181: icmp_seq=3 ttl=51 time=142 ms 64 bytes from 2001:5a0:3604:1:64:86:243:181: icmp_seq=4 ttl=51 time=142 ms --- irc.freenode.net ping statistics --- 4 packets transmitted, 4 received, 0% packet loss, time 3004ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 141.567/141.903/142.081/0.431 ms $ However, when I try to connect to irc.freenode.net in WeeChat, then IPv6 is not even tried (checked with tcpdump). Even if I reject connections on IPv4 to TCP port 6667, then IPv6 is not tried. I assume that the problem is not with the WeeChat (I even tried with different versions). Any ideas, what might cause such behavior?
