How do I show current users in a channel in a panel on the right in irssi

Question

How do I show current users in a channel in a panel on the right in irssi?

I have tried googling for this but could not find anything. The screenshot here: http://irssi.org/themefiles/mursu.png shows what I am referring to.

I did think it was part of the theme logic but upon activating a theme it has only changed the colours.

I am new to irssi and would appreciate the xchat-like interface of showing the users without the need to type /names .

Thanks!

irssi can't do it out of the box, but you can use the nicklist script to achieve the desired effect. See this entry in the ArchWiki for more details.

Thank you. I currently use screen , if I create a tmux window within a screen session will the cause any problems?

I'm not sure, I don't think they're meant to be used together, but you can always give it a try. Otherwise, the script does have a "screen" mode, so you can use it like that, it's just less convenient than using tmux.

tmux within tmux might pose a problem, screen within tmux won't, tmux within screen won't, tmux within another tmux (even with a screen in between) might also cause problems.
