Highlight chat messages that contain your username

[Loewchen]

What ?

In multiplayer a chat message shall be highlighted (e.g. bold text or different text color) if it contains the players username. Additionally there should be an option to play a sound when such message is sent.

Why ?

When playing with several people it can be difficult to notice when someone tries to get your attention while multiple conversations are taking place at the same time or you are focused on playing the game. With this feature, players can easily "address" messages to each other using auto complete and you don't have to skim through all message to not overlook stuff.

Reminds me to Slack, where you can turn notification by username on/off. Some other notification features of Slack are also eventually useful for Factorio.

It will be a shot in the leg if someone misspells your name or shorten it since a player probably will not read if it's non highlighted. I see it being useful only if there is an easy way to input a player's name like ctrl+click on the name.
