Keyword Alerts
Summary
Keyword alerts would be a feature to aid in the monitoring of busy situations and/or groups by altering the text containing determined keywords to make it stand out from other text, or to provide an audio cue.
How would you like the feature to work?
Such a feature would need a few components:
- an on/off switch
- a list of words for the feature to look for, separated by commas or another token (preferably not spaces)
- the choice of if to search in groups, instant-messages/adhoc groups, or only in local chat
- the option of how to treat said text once found: change its color and/or make a sound
- and to have said feature be saved on a per-account basis; alternate accounts will need to watch for different words/names being spoken
Why is this feature important to you? How would it benefit the community?Required
This feature is more of a quality of life than something necessary. In crowded scenes, such as in clubs, busy hubs, or even during roleplay, it can be difficult to notice one person trying to get your attention or addressing you in a sea of text. Keyword alerts provides the ability to have individuals typing your name, title, role, or somesuch made very clear and obvious and less likely to be missed when skimming over tons of chatter.
