To scroll up in Mac OS X Terminal.app (rather than holding down Shift+PageUp): Esc followed by [5~ (scroll down is Esc then [6~) per https://emmanuelbernard.com/blog/2013/12/12/fixing-page-up-and-page-down-in-mac-os-x-terminal/

Common commands

/connect freenode
/join #sourcefu

To fix

Mode noise

I believe the fix I was looking for was /set weechat.look.buffer_notify_default message as discussed at http://indiewebcamp.com/irc/2013-06-01

task #12499, filter mode changes after joins: http://savannah.nongnu.org/task/?12499

"When you see a mode change it's not "MODE" command received but a numeric command (for example 324 for channel modes). So you may have to ignore many numeric commands to ignore all modes." -- http://forums.flashtux.org/viewtopic.php?p=106&sid=62c78f547fb166200ca839a0d08d96d4#p106

Can't click long links

"Presumably, you're running weechat in a terminal... the links are hard-wrapped... (you won't be able to click the full url)... [urlgrab.py] has one obvious limitation: it doesn't work well if you’re running weechat on a remote host" -- http://blog.lnx.cx/2012/08/14/weechat/

See the Alt-l tip above for bare display. For more on bare display, see https://www.weechat.org/files/doc/stable/weechat_user.en.html#bare_display
