In order to easily create aliases/speedwalks using information already entered through MUSHclient, I was wondering what methods are available to view sent commands. Could you guys please give some pointers?

An ideal situation (I don't know if MUSHclient has this or not) would be to have another window displaying only the input added during the session. Using log files showing only input does help, though I would like to know if the former feature exists, or if I could temporarily change the view settings to see only input. Thanks again for helping! =)

0xDEADBEEF. How's that for a pointer?

In all seriousness, you could create a plugin with an OnPluginSent plugin callback, which appends every command to a notepad. As an example (without the extra plugin XML fluff):

function OnPluginSent(command)
  AppendToNotepad("Sent Commands", command .. "\n")
end

In other words, install this plugin:

To save and install the Show_Sent_Commands plugin do this:

Copy between the lines below (to the Clipboard)
Open a text editor (such as Notepad) and paste the plugin into it
Save to disk on your PC, preferably in your plugins directory, as Show_Sent_Commands.xml
Go to the MUSHclient File menu -> Plugins
Click "Add"
Choose the file Show_Sent_Commands.xml (which you just saved in step 3) as a plugin
Click "Close"


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE muclient>
<!-- Saved on Friday, January 08, 2010, 1:03 PM -->
<!-- MuClient version 4.45 -->

<!-- Plugin "Show_Sent_Commands" generated by Plugin Wizard -->

<muclient>
<plugin
   name="Show_Sent_Commands"
   author="Nick Gammon"
   id="7bff541d04311483d4eeb785"
   language="Lua"
   purpose="Keeps track of what is sent to the MUD"
   date_written="2010-01-08 13:02:43"
   requires="4.40"
   version="1.0"
   >

</plugin>


<!--  Script  -->


<script>
<![CDATA[
function OnPluginSent(command)
  AppendToNotepad("Sent Commands", command .. "\r\n")
end
]]>
</script>


</muclient>

This will keep track of everything sent to the MUD (even if you didn't type it yourself). That is, movement with the numeric keypad, the result of triggers acting, etc.

Wow! Many thanks to Twisol and Nick here for helping out with the plugin - one thing I've always loved about this client and site is the amazing rate at which the community responds. Cheers to you guys. :)
