This documentation is for the legacy version of Kiwi IRC, kept here only for reference.
The control input is the bottom section of the Kiwi application - the main control bar. This is where message input and plugin icons appear.
Plugin icons are jQuery objects created by your plugin, and have the full control over DOM events such as clicks.
You can get a control input reference via:
var input = kiwi.components.ControlInput()
Run commands as if they were typed by the user
input.run('/msg #channel Hello people')
Add an icon to the right hand side of the input
input.addPluginIcon($jquery_object)
You can bind to command related events via:
input.on('event', function)
| Event | Arguments | Notes |

{command, params} | command_name may be any /command. Handy for listening for a specific command. |
