Speaking of IRC clients, I don't understand why one particular feature that has been requested all time (feature request in various clients I've gone through) but never implemented - keyword highlight and notification, but customizable depending on the channel. This way you don't have to pay visual attention to certain channels.
And I thought the need is common enough and it's easy enough to implement..
This is definitely possible in Quassel - Each highlight rule has a regex for the message, and a regex for the channel. Only if both match, it will highlight.
This means you can get highlights on every message in channel #support, or highlights on "quassel" in every channel.
Perfect, then I'd definitely switch from LimeChat. I thought it wasn't possible because of this http://bugs.quassel-irc.org/issues/1348 , and saw no mention of it in the doc.
I guess it's just a request for blacklist instead.
I never faced this need and is the first time I saw it stated.
If it appeared in various clients and got implemented in none then it should be a reason. Examples:
- It is not a need for enough people
- No developer suffers your problem (you can always try to do the PR by yourself)
This feature requests got ignored or received some reply by devs? I am curious.
e.g. https://github.com/psychs/limechat/issues/31
I remember I spent quite a bit of fruitless time searching for a reasonably good looking and well maintained one having such feature on OSX.
