erc-hide-prompt is a customizable variable defined in erc.el.gz.

Value

t

Documentation

If non-nil, hide input prompt upon disconnecting.

To unhide, type something in the input area. Once revealed, a prompt remains unhidden until the next disconnection. Channel prompts are unhidden upon rejoining. For behavior concerning query prompts, see erc-unhide-query-prompt. Longtime ERC users should note that this option was repurposed in ERC 5.5 because it had lain dormant for years after being sidelined in 5.3 when its only use in the interactive client was removed. Before then, its role was controlling whether erc-command-indicator(var)/erc-command-indicator(fun) would appear alongside echoed slash-command lines.

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