Main Chat

/clear
Clears the main chat window of all text.
/ts

/showjoins
Toggles the displaying of users joining the hub.  This only takes effect for freshly-arriving users.

Closes the hub window.
/userlist
Toggles visibility of the list of users for the current hub.  When it is not visible, tab completion, if turned on, will not work.
/connection

Manually refreshes DC++'s share list by going through the shared directories and adding new folders and files.  DC++ automatically refreshes once an hour by default, and also refreshes after the list of shared directories is changed.
/slots <number>
Sets the current number of upload slots to the number you specify.  If this is less than the current number of slots, no downloads are cancelled.
/search <string>
Opens a new search window with the specified search string.  It does not automatically send the search.
/dc++
Sends a random DC++ advertising message to the chat, including a link to the DC++ homepage and the version number.
/away [message]
Sets Away status.  New private message windows will be responded to, once, with the message you specified, or the default away message configured in the Appearance settings page.
/back
Un-sets Away status.
/g <search string>
Launches your default web browser to the Google search engine with the specified search.
/imdb <imdb query>
Launches your default web browser to the Internet Movie Database (imdb) with the specified query.
/rebuild
Rebuilds the HashIndex.xml and HashData.dat files, removing entries to files that are no longer shared, or old hashes for files that have since changed.  This runs in the main DC++ thread, so the interface will freeze until the rebuild is finished.
