FR: Enter New Segment While Timer Runs

julroger2013 opened this issue · comments

Thanks for this plugin! It works great and is really valuable for time tracking at work (I'm a lawyer and have to track time in 6 min increments for billing).

Is it possible that the plugin could be made to allow entry of a new time tracking item while another item is running? Right now the segment name box, where you enter the task details, can't be edited while another task is running.

To accurately capture time, it would be terrific if I could enter a new segment name while another entry is currently running, hit the start/stop button, and have that button: (1) stop the currently running entry; (2) start the entry that I just named. Right now, I have to stop the currently running task before I can enter a new task name and start the timer on that, meaning there are (admittedly small) time gaps between entries while no timer is running.

I don't know how hard this would be to code, and it's really more of a small quality of life request, so no worries if it would be too much of a pain. But I do think it would be a nice little enhancement to the timer's function if it wouldn't be too much of a timesink.

Again, thanks for making this plugin. It has already proved really valuable!

As a workaround you can also "double"click on the stop button. This just starts a new segment, which you can rename even while it is active, but you won't have any gaps
