Insert pause

[janikarki]

I would love to have a simple way to insert a pause, after the fact, between specific times, into an existing period. I imagine something similar to the "New Period" feature, but instead of creating an IN-OUT pair of events, this would create OUT-IN. The form could be pre-filled with the times entered last time.

The "automatic pause" feature is too automatic for me. Creating the pause manually by inserting individual events is of course possible, but gets tedious in the long run.

Thanks for the app, I really appreciate it!

An idea regarding the pre-population of the pause times:

• there could be an option (in the settings) as to how long the "default" pause is
• if the "insert pause" view is opened, the "pause start" defaults to "now minus pause length", and "pause end" is populated with "now" (actual times of course)

In an app that I've used previously, you could have a set of predefined pause times to choose from (e.g. 12:30-13:00, 14:00-14:15), in addition to specifying the times on the fly.

Setting the pause end to now is not helpful for my specific use case, for what it's worth, because I often insert the pauses long after they happened. But whatever is most useful to most people.

In Germany, the law stipulates that you must take a break of at least 30 minutes after 6 hours of work. After 9 hours, this break time increases to 45 minutes. An automatic system that suggests these breaks would be great. But it should still be possible to adjust the times.
