How do I change the bot trigger?

To change the default ! trigger to a different character use the regset command to change the general.trigger value.

For example, to change it to the ~ character:

regset general.trigger ~

To change it to both ! and ~ (and others):

regset general.trigger [!~]

To use only the bot’s nick:

regset general.trigger ""

You can also override the trigger on a per-channel basis by use the channel name in place of general.

For example, to override the trigger specifically for #channel:

regset #channel.trigger ~
