API to toggle timer, like a button that is both play and pause #388

Closed tylercollier closed 2 years ago

Seems ironic but I don't think it's currently possible to toggle the timer. I'd really like to have a single button on my keyboard to toggle the timer. Right now I have to have two, one that can call the stop API and another for the start API. I suppose I could use GET https://api.track.toggl.com/api/v8/time_entries/current to check and then either start or stop based on the response, but why not have a toggle primitive that requires only one API call?

Hi! I was also looking for something similar. Just having one button to start and stop a timer would be really convenient.

I created a implementation for the Arduino embedded platform and have a physical button on my desk to start and stop timers independently of my PC, I use it daily too keep track of my out of office work hours. It still work in progress but works great.

Solved it by utilizing the "get running time entry" to figure out if a timer was running, feels a bit excessive. I would also like to see this implemented!!
