You can get help on most IRC commands by typing /help
.
Typing commandname
/help
on its own gives a list of available
commands.

If selected, prepends each thing said in the channel with the time it was said, in the form [HH:MM:SS]
Displays a table of Ascii characters, from which you can choose any characters you require.
If selected, KSirc emits a beep every time something is said on a channel.
In a channel, the user list is displayed along the right hand side. Right-clicking a nickname in that list gives you a pop-up menu of options, most of which are self-explanatory. Those actions can be configured (changing the order, adding or removing some) in the Configure KSirc... dialog in the User Menu tab. The default actions are the following:
Sends a message to the server to request the list of users in the channel. This ensures that the list of nicknames is up-to-date.
Highlights the user's nick in every message they send to the channel. This way, you can follow someone's thread of conversation in a busy channel. The user's nick color is picked at random.
Stops following the user.
Sends a CTCP whois query to the user, which provides information about the user, such as his hostname and what server he is connected to.
Sends a CTCP ping request to the user, to determine his echo time.
Sends a CTCP version request to the user, to determine what software he is using.
Abuses the user in one of various amusing ways.
The following commands are only available if you are an operator on the channel:

Removes the ban on the user joining the channel.
Gives the user operator privileges.
Removes operator privileges from the user.
