Reminder to write #1262

Open FastusNumen opened 6 months ago

FastusNumen commented 6 months ago

This may sound stupid, but I have to ask.

Is it possible to add a sound reminder if you don't write anything for 30 seconds?

I ask this because I tend to forget to write and lose myself in hypothetical scenarios in my head, or just waste too much time searching for information. It could be useful to have that "Ding" sound to bring me out of it.

I'm not sure if that would be useful... Sometimes I stop and do a lot of thinking, and a ding would be annoying. Of course, it could be an addition activated by a setting and if you want to add it you're more than welcome to. However, you don't need a bell to help you focus writing. Put on some good music, sit down, and just write. Set a goal of how many words you want to write and just write, and if you're having extra problems, use manuskript's focus mode.

I wish it would be that easy, I tried. Also, I'd listen to music 24/7 if I could. xD

Still, I didn't mean to have it always on, you can just activate it when you want to, like you said. You could also choose the time before it rings. Unfortunately, I'm not good enough with coding to add it myself, so I'll leave it here.
