Set WeeChat buffer to only notify on highlight

I have several buffers open within WeeChat of which I only read some regularly. Therefore I want to set some buffers to only change notification color in the sidebar, if they got new messages which highlight me, but not ones that don't highlight me. The color should be the same as other buffers, where there are highlights.

How can I achieve this?

Solution

  • I ran into your question while looking for an answer myself. Here's the solution I found:

    while in the buffer you're less interested in:

    /buffer notify highlight

    This sets so the buflist only highlights the buffer for highlights, not for user messages or joins/parts/etc. see /help buffer for more examples.

    Note you can also set the default for all buffers; this setting is stored in weechat.look.buffer_notify_default
