Hi, I need to discuss a request before I officially suggest it.
Is there a logical way to trigger highlighting behavior even when a channel is selected (has the focus), such as when one is AFK (away from keyboard)?
Possibilities:
1) Clicking on the window dismisses the highlight.
2) The timestamp of the last highlight appears in the titlebar or elsewhere.
3) Entering text dismisses the highlight.
4) The number or timestamps of the last N many highlights are displayed.
5) Scrolling past a highlight dismisses it.
6) Just click on a non-channel window before you go AFK.
The different options have different effects on the display of information in the app. If any, they would almost certainly be options, instead of required.
Triggering highlight is distinct from triggering message/event behavior, because the user can see the latter two without scrolling the window.
Also, is it possible to trigger highlight behavior (line coloring and "channel bar" blinking) in custom windows with a /window option? Or must one recreate the behavior in the script which controls that window?
I'm not the only one that doesn't want to miss his highlights. Also, are there any options for context-responsive tab-completion or nick list sorting, and do you like my forum icon? I'm not going to start threads on them if they're not interesting.
