IRC console buttons

[Risen]

Anyone know why the IRC console buttons (Join, List, Privmsg, DCC, EDCC, File, Finger) won't work on a normal channel window? I added them to an options bar and they do nothing there. These would certainly be useful buttons to have on a (hideable) toolbar in a channel window.

My skin in progress has an options bar in it which allows a lot of control over the environment, but lacks a lot of functionality in IRC. Many of the buttons will not function in channel windows even when their function is supported by the medium.

...or maybe this post should go in bug reports / feature requests?

because even window has its predefined set of controls. the channel does not support a toolbar. :{)

Have you tried the manual commands? Like /msg nick blah for message...or /j #channel. Maybe that only work with the irc program. Im not sure... you can give it a shot...i dont use irc that often so...

I know those work, I'm only concerned about the buttons.
