Mentor suggestion

[robertGN]

I agree. Sometimes I go into space as a ghost to mute non-important station sounds and alt-tab to watch YouTube videos while waiting for round-end. I wouldn't mind a toggleable mentorhelp sound, as it only takes a second to tab back in and answer one most of the time.

Have you considered just being in the relevant IRC/Discord channel?

This may have what you want as you can set discord to make a sound whenever there is a new post. You can also set it so only mentor chat makes this sound. Mentor chat also shows mentorhelps.

I have Discord constantly open, and immediately check notifications in case a friend is trying to contact me. With the volume of mentorhelp messages we have, it would dramatically increase the amount of "false alarm" sounds I would get.

IRC notifications are a bit more distinct, so I'll probably settle for that. Thank you for the suggestions Ed and Mordent.

I still do believe that a toggleable mentorhelp sound wouldn't be that bad of a thing, if only for the fact that I personally get a bit tunnel-visioned around the more window-based jobs like scientist and geneticist.
