hamster-dmenu
dmenu interface for the hamster time tracker.
On invocation, hamster-dmenu opens dmenu with the list of previously entered hamster tasks, ordered with the most recently entered task first.
You can enter a new task, or rely on the auto-completion to find a previous task. The task format is as per hamster: activity@category
Usage
- To cancel, type escape;
- If you enter a single forward slash ("/") the hamster time tracker gui is opened;
- If you enter a single minus sign ("-"), time tracking is stopped;
- Anything else will start a new task. Format is the hamster format:
activity@category
Note: Just pressing enter without typing anything will not cancel, it will start the last entered task. This is how dmenu selects entries. To cancel you must press escape.
Installation
hamster-dmenu is a shell script and depends on hamster, dmenu, notify-send, sed and awk.
Just download the hamster-dmenu script and invoke it with parameters you want to pass to dmenu (You probably will want -i for case insensitive.). Here is how I invoke it:
hamster-dmenu -i -fn "Arial-12" -nb "#666" -nf "#FFF"
(This requires dmenu with xft support - the Ubuntu version has it by default)
