Subject: Feature idea: Automatic clocking
Date: Fri, 21 Aug 2009 18:35:27 +0000 (UTC) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <loom.20090821T202641-395@post.gmane.org> (raw)
I just started using clocking and it seems really useful. It
occured me it could also be done automatically for certain tasks
which are performed in the org buffer.
For example, I work on some text which I keep in an org subtree,
the branches of the subtree hold the chapters, etc.
If the main subtree which is the root of the document has a CLOCK
property (put there by a previous manual clocking) and also an
AUTOCLOCK or similar property then it could monitor if I modify
the text within the subtree and start the clock automatically. If
I stop modifying the subtree then after a while (say, 30 seconds,
configurable) it would stop the clock automatically.
So for subtrees explicitly marked for automatic clocking the user
wouldn't have to start/stop the clock manually at all, org could
do it itself.
What do you think?
