Use _ around nick

[mattberther]

When you have a nick (lets say push), and someone says a word that includes your nick (lets say pushover), you get an alert.

I think it would be preferable to have the default nick alert be _%nick%_. Thoughts?

Just to clarify: _%nick%_
But this will kill mentions and highlight in the form of nick: blala or is there something, nick?
I have a common problem. In some network I use a nick with only two characters. Of course I get often false positives.
I would propose a regex match; an example would be the colorize_nicks.py script in weechat: https://weechat.org/scripts/source/colorize_nicks.py.html/:

VALID_NICK = r'([@~&!%+])?([-a-zA-Z0-9\[\]\\`_^\{|\}]+)'

A regex would be a nice solution to this. 👍
