The /hop or /cycle command is useful in many situations and as of 1.5.0beta it no longer works.

The code for the alias /hop is

// Retrieve channel
%chan=$0
if(!%chan) %chan=$chan.name

// Retrieve channel key
if($channel(%chan)!=0)
    %key=$chan.key($channel(%chan))
else %key=0

// Exit channel
if($window.type($channel(%chan))=="channel")
    eval "part --keep $escape(%chan) $option(stringPartMessage)"
// Rejoin channel
if(!%key) join %chan
else join %chan %key

The debug output can be found here as well

ZNC sees I want to part the channel, sends the part request to IRC, then ZNC sees I want to rejoin the channel but never sends the request back to the IRC network.

This is confirmed working in stable version 1.4.

HexChat has /cycle directly and I believe irssi and kvirc have it too. No idea on other clients than HexChat, but /hop is usually for halfopping.

Mikaela, you are correct.

While I was in Hexchat I tried to /hop and it threw me an error about half-ops. So I tried /cycle instead. This was the correct command but still was broken.

Later today after work I will launch as many clients as I can and see how they react to this command.
