“The only IRC client I ever used was XChat. I decided
to try something different and Irssi client was a great find. Irssi
is a terminal based IRC client for Unix systems and is probably the
best I have used till now“Irssi Features and Improvements

log any channels, queries or special windows that you want.* A number of formats and themes are available. [Irssi
Themes]* Configurable keybindings is a welcome feature.”
