How do I use SWS?

SWS basically has two modes: Normal Mode and Keyboard Mode.

What is "Normal Mode"?

Normal mode is when you use codes (%C, %B, %I, etc.) to use SWS.

• If you type %C4Hello %C2World, it will output this:

• If you type %BHello%B World, it will output this:

What is "Keyboard Mode"?

After a while, some of our users noticed that if you use Normal mode, you can't post URLs that contain codes like %C, because it will replace them too. That's why we enabled a feature called Keyboard Mode.

In Keyboard Mode, you will set a master key for your styles. If we set our master key to Ctrl+Shift+Z, and when we press Ctrl+Shift+Z then press C, SWS will add hex code for color.

• Press Ctrl+Shift+Z then press C, it will add a hex code for color.
• Press Ctrl+Shift+Z then press B, it will add a hex code for bold.
• Press Ctrl+Shift+Z then press I, it will add a hex code for italic.
• Press Ctrl+Shift+Z then press U, it will add a hex code for underline.
• Press Ctrl+Shift+Z then press R, it will add a hex code for reset.

In Firefox GIF you see above, there is a code block for color (\x03), you can't see this in Chrome.

What is "Colors Table"?

You will see a table above your text box when you type %C or press Master key then C when Keyboard Mode is enabled.

Normal mode:

Keyboard mode:

What is "Markdown Mode"?

Markdown Mode is an extra feature requested by users to imitate Markdown bold and italic syntax.

What is "Special Functions"?

In version 3.2.0, based on a request (#6), we added a <rainbow> tag. Right now SWS only supports <rainbow>. In future, we may add new tags for amusement. Old users will not be affected by this optional feature unless you choose to enable it.

• <rainbow>your text</rainbow>:

What is "Custom aliases"?

Custom aliases are texts that gets replaced based on your input.

Custom alias syntax is like this: original text,replaced text = (text you type) + (comma) + (text you want to show)

Examples:

:stare:,ಠ_ಠ
pls,please

My custom settings have disappeared in new version, what do I do?

This is probably because I messed something up or change setting names in your IRCCloud storage (also known as localStorage).

In version 4.0.3, I changed setting names to these:

Old name	New name
swsEnabled	sws.enabled,
swsAlias	sws.alias,
swsKeyboard	sws.key.enabled,
swsKeyCtrl	sws.key.ctrl,
swsKeyAlt	sws.key.alt,
swsKeyShift	sws.key.shift,
swsKeyChar	sws.key.char,
swsMarkdown	sws.markdown,
swsColorsTable	sws.colorsTable

If you want to look at your old settings and hopefully if they are not deleted, you can check old settings with the code below:

Where do I put this code?

You need to put this code either in Developer Console Ctrl+Shift+K:

// In developer console
localStorage['swsAlias']

This line will show your old swsAlias settings.

or Location bar in your browser Ctrl+L:

// In location bar in browser
javascript:prompt(localStorage['swsAlias'])
