Support for reading email #34

Open To1ne opened 6 years ago

To1ne commented 6 years ago

I read my email in Emacs using Gnus, and I was wondering if there is a way to file mail activity under a "Email" project?

AFAICS, (buffer-file-name (current-buffer)) is passed to the cli tool, and that will probably determine the project based on that. But that s-exp evals to nil when I'm inside an email buffer (e.g. gnus-summary-mode or gnus-article-mode).

Maybe we can fix this by adding a buffer local variable wakatime-current-project (or something like that) that I can set in my mode hooks and will be passed to the cli tool.

We can use these GNUS hooks then instead of sending the file to wakatime cli we can send these commands:

--entity GNUS
--type app

Well, that was basically my idea too. But how can I plug that in into wakatime.el?
