Trigger with hotkeys #6

Open dionvansevenant opened 1 year ago

dionvansevenant commented 1 year ago

Great start to the plugin!

For the future, please consider adding the ability to trigger the timers with hotkeys.

Currently I just run 1 timer at a time, so a "start" trigger should prompt for the "Segment name", and a "stop" trigger should just stop the running timer.

If other people run multiple timers, I could see a need to prompt for the segment to affect with the start/stop trigger.

Thanks!

I'm not really sure about a good way to implement this, since it wouldn't be clear what timer should be started using the hotkey. One of the ones in the current file sounds logical, but... how would you select which one?

I'm not sure how to implement that selection part. If the plugin parsed the existing block to see what "name" fields exist and then presented a selector based on those, that could work.

I would say, that a hotkey which just toggles the last active Timer on an off would be amazing. Maybe there is a better bigger way but this would be awesome already!
