Highlight mention of current user in editor

Raphael R

Hello Atlassian Community,

wherever my own, currently logged in user is mentioned on a Confluence page, the @username will be displayed with a blue background, whereas every other name is shown in the default grey.

However, when I switch into edit mode, this distinction gets lost (the <a> element loses the class "current-user-link"), making it harder to find my own mentions and tasks on a long page.

Is there a way to get the current-user mention highlighted consistently in both modes?

Edit mode:

Thank you Stephen for the suggestion!

But I've found out how to change the behaivor to exactly how I want it:

I've simply added these lines to the global stylesheet (<confluence>/admin/editstylesheet.action):

#tinymce.wiki-content a.user-mention.current-user-mention {
background-color: #0052CC;
color: #FFFFFF !important ;
}

Note: we're using Confluence 6.15 and this class name may change in the future. But I'm happy for now

Cheers,

Raphael

Hi @Raphael R

Not that I know of.

A simple alternative is to just use find on your web browser - usually activated by Ctrl+F / Cmd+F - to search for and highlight your username in edit mode.

Sometimes this utilises the Confluence finder - to utilise the browser version, you can usually click on the browser's bookmarks / navigation bar then use the keyboard shortcut above.
