Highmon is a perl script for Weechat 0.3.0+ that allows you to track highlighted messages in a new buffer. It is based off the chanmon system, and has similar features.
Current Version: 2.1 [ dl ]
(released: 27-08-2010)

Command Usage:

• /highmon [help] | [monitor [channel [server]]] | [clean default|orphan|all]
  Command wrapper for highmon commands
• /highmon clean default|orphan|all will clean the config section of default ‘on’ entries, channels you are no longer joined, or both
• /highmon monitor [channel] [server] is used to toggle a highlight monitoring on and off, this can be used in the channel buffer for the channel you wish to toggle, or be given with arguments e.g. /monitor #weechat freenode

Settings:
‘highmon’ stores all it’s settings in Weechat’s plugins.conf, the following can be set there, by using /set or the ‘iset’ plug-in

• alignment – /set plugins.var.perl.highmon.alignment "channel"
  The config setting “alignment” can be changed to;
  “channel”, “schannel”, “nchannel”, “channel,nick”, “schannel,nick”, “nchannel,nick”
  to change how the monitor appears
  The ‘channel’ value will show: “#weechat”
  The ‘schannel’ value will show: “6″
  The ‘nchannel’ value will show: “6:#weechat”
  (Default: ‘channel’)
• short_names – /set plugins.var.perl.highmon.short_names "on|off"
  Setting this will trim the network name from chanmon, ala buffers.pl
  (Default: ‘on’)
• color_buf – /set plugins.var.perl.highmon.color_buf "on|off|colour"
  This turns coloured buffer names on or off, you can also set a single fixed colour by using a weechat colour name.
  This must be a valid colour name, or weechat will likely do unexpected things
  (Default: ‘on’)
• hotlist_show – /set plugins.var.perl.highmon.hotlist_show "on|off"
  Setting this to ‘on’ will let the highmon buffer appear in hotlists (status bar/buffer.pl)
• away_only – /set plugins.var.perl.highmon.away_only "on|off"
  Setting this to ‘on’ will only put messages in the highmon buffer when you set your status to away
• logging – /set plugins.var.perl.highmon.logging
  Toggles logging status for highmon buffer
  (default: off)
• output – /set plugins.var.perl.highmon.output
  Changes where output method of highmon; takes either “bar” or “buffer”
  (default; buffer)
• bar_line – /set plugins.var.perl.highmon.bar_lines
  Changes the amount of lines the output bar will hold.
  (Only appears once output has been set to bar, defaults to 10)
• nick_prefix – /set plugins.var.perl.highmon.nick_prefix
  nick_suffix – /set plugins.var.perl.highmon.nick_suffix
  Sets the prefix and suffix chars in the highmon buffer
  (Defaults to <> if nothing set, and blank if there is)
