single window multiple resources

[darix]

irssi already has the concept of having multiple items in a window with a key bind to toggle between them. for static resources i could set this up with "/query -window", but that gets tedious quickly. also dynamic resources would break it.

so my idea would be "/query somenick" would open a query without irssi/user specifying the resource. so when sending a message, we would send to what ever the "best resource would be" or what the remote server would pick.

we add a command to toggle between all resources ( and of course back to the new mode). we could bind that e.g. meta-v. so if i know i want to write to his mobile client, i could. but i wouldnt end up with N windows anymore to chatting with the same person just because they switch from gajim to conversations and carry their conversation with them because of MAM/carbons.

feel welcome to discuss necessary upstream changes on irssi/irssi

what kind of features are you missing in irssi to implement this feature request?

Are there any alternative xmpp plugins for irssi? Any "hacks" to solve this issue? I recently switched from finch to irssi-plugin-xmpp and don't know how to deal with this issue...
