Ghost + reclaim a nick — add these as post-connect commands with a 2–3 second delay:
/ns GHOST MyOldNick password
/nick MyOldNick
/join #home
/raw — useful for sending protocol lines not wrapped by a dedicated command:
/raw CAP LS 302
/raw MONITOR + nick1,nick2
Shorthand mode commands/op, /deop, /voice, /devoice, /ban, /unban, /kick, /kickban all target the current channel if you omit the #channel argument.
NickServ shorthand — use /msg NickServ … or services aliases if your network supports them:
/ns IDENTIFY password
/ns GHOST OldNick password
/ns CERT ADD
