[EventCalendar] Custom timer lengths #93

Open kogens opened 7 years ago

kogens commented 7 years ago

It would be great to be able to set custom lengths times for the Timer widget in Eventcalendar, instead of only predetermined lengths.

Currently I'm using the timer a lot for working with the Pomodoro method which typically uses 25 min dividers for working. However I have to choose 30 min instead of 25 min which would be ideal for me. It works, but it would be useful in general to be able to set your own timers.

This could also help reduce the amount of buttons, as it won't be necessary to have so many different times. Right now you have to sort of look through all the timers to find the one you want, even though you may only ever use one or two of them.

Thanks for all the work and a great tool otherwise!

CpUniX from https://www.opendesktop.org/p/998901 also requested this so I need to also notify him as well when done.

What about using a modifier key, like shift or ctrl (I would prefer shift), that while depressed transforms each of the preset duration buttons to an additive +-preset button?

In enabling easy setting of many more specific durations, it would allow to remove some of the existing preset buttons with minimal inconvenience, at least the 45m, and maybe the 10m.

Aside: currently the 10m, 20m, 30m, and 45m buttons have ellipses instead of "m" for me, due to the congestion.

Open a new issue, make sure to mention if you have a non default DPI (96) or a larger font size. It should be resized to the text.
