Vim-Pomodoro
vim-pomodoro is a (Neo)Vim plugin for the Pomodoro time management technique. This is a fork that mitigate some issues with the original plugin.
It requires the timers feature.
Usage
The usage of vim-pomodoro is simple. :PomodoroStart [pomodoro_name] starts a new pomodoro.
The parameter pomodoro_name is optional. After a pomodoro has ended, a confirmation dialog will
remind you to take a break. When the break has ended, another dialog will ask you if you want
to start a new pomodoro. Furthermore, the remaining time of a pomodoro can be displayed in the
statusline of vim.
If you do not want vim-pomodoro to use popup windows but text dialogs inside Vim, add
set guioptions+=c to your ~/.gvimrc. Please note that this will globally disable
popup notification windows in Vim.
Also, in addition to the default notifications inside vim, vim-pomodoro allows you to add further external notifications, such as sounds, system-notification popups etc.
Configuration
Add the following options to your ~/.vimrc to configure vim-pomodoro
" Duration of a pomodoro in minutes (default: 25)
let g:pomodoro_time_work = 25
" Duration of a break in minutes (default: 5)
let g:pomodoro_time_slack = 5
" Log completed pomodoros, 0 = False, 1 = True (default: 0)
let g:pomodoro_do_log = 0
" Path to the pomodoro log file (default: /tmp/pomodoro.log)
let g:pomodoro_log_file = "/tmp/pomodoro.log"
To display the remaining time of a pomodoro in your statusline, add
set statusline=%#ErrorMsg#%{pomo#status_bar()}%#StatusLine#
to your ~/.vimrc
Bells and Whistles
Notifications outside vim can be enabled through the option g:pomodoro_notification_cmd.
For instance, to play a sound file after each completed pomodoro or break, add something like
let g:pomodoro_notification_cmd = "mpg123 -q ~/.vim/pomodoro-notification.mp3"
to your ~/.vimrc. System-wide notifications can, for instance, be done via zenity and
the option
let g:pomodoro_notification_cmd = 'zenity --notification --text="Pomodoro finished"''
Installation
The recommended installation method is via vim-plug. Add:
Plug 'tricktux/pomodoro.vim'
