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 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 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.

WeeChat does this, I use it to monitor channels for keywords that interest me. More signal, less noise ;)

So do it. You could build it as an irssi or znc plugin

Huh? You mean like section 9 of: https://github.com/irssi/irssi/blob/master/docs/manual.txt https://github.com/irssi/irssi/blob/master/docs/manual.txt ? Or did you mean for quassel in particular? I guess there's wip for it? http://bugs.quassel-irc.org/projects/quassel-irc/wiki/GSoC_2016 http://bugs.quassel-irc.org/projects/quassel-irc/wiki/GSoC_2...
