Variable: erc-reconnect-display

erc-reconnect-display is a customizable variable defined in erc.el.gz.

Value

nil

Documentation

How (and whether) to display a channel buffer upon reconnecting.

This only affects automatic reconnections and is ignored when issuing a /reconnect command or reinvoking erc-tls with the same args (assuming success, of course). See erc-join-buffer for a description of possible values.

WARNING: this option is bugged in ERC 5.5 (Emacs 29). Setting it to anything other than nil results in the chosen value being permanently adopted by all other buffer-display options for the remainder of the ERC session. If you need this fixed immediately, see Info node (erc) Upgrading.

This variable was added, or its default value changed, in ERC version
5.5.
