Consider have a buffer/channel opened in your weechat. I want to temporarily see all the messages of one user/nick. Is this possible? This means only the filtered nick messages will be shown (just for a while).

          You can try to use /filter:



          /filter add <name> <buffer>[,<buffer>...] <tags> <regex>


          You could use <regex> to match everything you don't like. However, maybe ! works to negate tags, too. I'm not sure about that. You could try something like:



          /filter add SHOWNICKNAMEONLY * !nick_NICKNAME *


          The nick in this case would be ǸICKNAME. nick_NICKNAME is the tag which matches everything from NICKNAME. !nick_NICKNAME should match everything else.

          • Thanks, this works: /filter add test * !nick_NICKNAME * and I wanted to only show the messages of NICKNAME in all buffers. To restore original I either disable the whole filters or delete the test filter: /filter del test.
