feature: autoclose notes after X minutes of inactivity #114

Open monperrus opened 4 years ago

monperrus commented 4 years ago

after a couple of days, my desktop and window list is full of 20+ opened tomboy notes. this only way I know to close them all is to kill tomboy and restart it.

a solution for that would be to add a feature that autocloses notes after X minutes of inactivity.

what do you think?

monperrus, on Tomboy (or tomboy-ng), you just close the note when you feel like it. Generally its the small [x] top right corner but exact location depends on your OS.

@monperrus Just in case you were not aware, hitting Escape also closes any Tomboy window. I open many notes in the course of my work and have formed the habit of pressing Escape after each edit/view.

With regard to the feature suggestion, could it be implemented by an add-in?

Hmm, interesting, Esc does not close a tomboy-ng window. I am a vi user so occasionally hit esc after typing something, be a real pain if it it closed the window every time .... The timer idea could probably be added as a plug in but no one is working on Tomboy any more. The Add On is all doc'ed on the Gnome web site ...
