Hexchat: Drag-n-drop Servers on Channel List

Created on 15 Dec 2014  ·  10Comments  ·  Source: hexchat/hexchat

It would be useful to add as an enhancement the ability to drag and drop servers up and down the channel list to reorder the servers. Right now they're listed in order of connection and unmovable.

In the network list - shift+up/down (which works between restarts)

In the channel list - ctrl+shift+page up/down

The completely unfindable keyboard shortcut solves my immediate need, but drag+drop would definitely be more discoverable.

Shift+up/down is shown when you hover over the sort button. Pretty hidden.

The other is in Keyboard shortcuts exactly where one would expect.

Would be super if we could save channe order between sessions soon too.

@nodisco Channels are joined in the same order that they're listed in the network preferences.

After you disable automatic sorting in preferences.

Alt+ Shift now sufficient?

@Arnavion, what I mean is that since there's no drag and drop to order channels, we rely on ctrl+shift+pgup/pgdn - But these changes are not saved between sessions, so you have to constantly do it again. Just using the order you add them in is not sufficient enough, since there are times when I have to reorder in the middle of things. Do you understand what I mean? I'm sorry if I was unclear at first.

And then you can go and reorder them in the network preferences and that order will be saved.

On Arch Linux With Xfce, Hexchat 2.14.2, on the network list, no combination of Shift/Alt/Ctrl/Up/Down/Page Up/Page Down worked.

Disabling "Sort tabs in alphabetical order" in the preferences and manually editing the file $HOME/.config/hexchat/servlist.conf worked (after reopening Hexchat).
