timer-rs

Is a command line based module intended to be used in status bars.

Basic Usage

  1. Start timer-rs in a terminal
  2. run "echo '[seconds]' /tmp/timer-rs_input" to second timer-rs a signal
  3. timer-rs will display a bar on each newline which concludes after [seconds]

This inferface is likely to change.

Use as an i3status-rust block

[[block]]
block = "custom"
format = " $text "
command = " timer-rs "
persistent = true
[[block.click]]
button = "left"
cmd = "echo '300' > /tmp/timer-rs_input"
[[block.click]]
button = "right"
cmd = "echo '900' > /tmp/timer-rs_input"

Timer-rs can't output JSON currently. So icons need to be placed directly into the format value. Like so:

format = " <icon> $text "

I use this nerdfont icon 󱎫.
