### IRC Networks are made of servers, and servers have channels. The default config has a few predefined networks, to list them:


* List network: `/NETWORK LIST`
* Connect to one of network: `/CONNECT oftc`
* To join channels: `/JOIN #bash-completion`


* To highlight lines with your nickname: `/HILIGHT nick` or `/SET hilight_nick_matches_everywhere ON`

* To get beeps on private messages or highlights: `/SET beep_msg_level MSGS HILIGHT DCCMSGS`


By default, irssi uses “hidden windows” for everything. Hidden windows are created every time you /JOIN a channel or /QUERY someone. There’s several ways you can change between these windows:
```
Meta-1, Meta-2, .. Meta-0 - Jump directly between windows 1-10
Meta-q .. Meta-o          - Jump directly between windows 11-19
/window <number>          - Jump to any window with specified number
Ctrl-p, Ctrl-n            - Jump to previous / next window
Meta-p, Meta-n            - To scroll up and down
```
