Adjustable Idle Time Detection #1088

Closed badrshs closed 1 month ago

badrshs commented 2 months ago

Description: I would like to request a feature enhancement for the WakaTime plugin that allows users to configure the idle time detection settings. Currently, WakaTime stops tracking activity after a period of inactivity, but there is no option to adjust the duration before it considers the user idle.

Use Case: I frequently switch between PhpStorm and a web browser for tasks such as research or making updates. During these brief periods away from PhpStorm, I would like the ability to keep the coding time tracked for a specific duration before it is marked as idle. This would help ensure that my time tracking remains accurate even when I'm working across multiple applications.

Proposed Solution:

Benefits:

If there are existing workarounds or settings that might help achieve similar results, kindly let me know.

That's what the keystroke timeout setting is for.
