muxoro

Pomodoro Timer for The Current Tmux Session

      muxoro

Will launch a pomodoro timer with default behavior.

In other words it is the same as

    muxoro time:25 sleep_interval:60 short_sleep_interval:10 orange_zone:300 red_zone:60 red_bg:black red_fg:red orange_bg:'#ffdd22' orange_fg:black

In order to get that stuff explained

    muxoro :help

      muxoro stop

Will kill the daemon and reset the status bar.

      gem install muxoro
      muxoro

If in a tmux session update the current session only. Otherwise updates all tmux sessions' left status with a Pomodoro timer of 25' counting down to 0. This updates the status every minute.

      muxoro sessions: 0,Mine time:20

Updates sessions 0's and Mine's left status with a Pomodoro timer of 20' counting down to 0. This still updates the status every minute.

    muxoro :help

Which gives the following (unless I forgot to copy the latest version's output into the README of course)

    Coming reallly really soon (before the gem's release in any case)

Indicate time spans in minutes (default) or seconds, this concerns the parameters time, interval and clearance

    muxoro time: 25, intervals: 20, clearance: 100s

A pomodoro timer for 25 minutes and 25 intervals (interval times computed to a value greater than one minute are rounded). The interval between expiry and clearance of the status line is 1'40".

    muxoro time: 20, interval: 3

This is ambigous, the implementation can do one of two things here, either (i) have a timer of a duration of 21' composed of 7 intervals, or (ii) a timer of 20' composed of 6 intervals of 3' and one last of 2'. In order to avoid this potential ambiguity the following syntax is preferable:

    muxoro interval: 3, intervals: 8

By default muxoro will clear the status bar after an additional interval, but the duration of this additional interval can be overridden by the clearance parameter.

The following will create a deafult timer of a duration of 25' and an interval of 1', but with a clearance of 2'.

    muxoro clearance: 2

For now only colors for the final status update (the one counting down to 0) can be given. They default to bg: red fg: black.

    muxoro fg: '#ff00dd', bg: '#ddaacc'

As tmux renders by approximating RGB colors to its 256 color map your milage may vary, in this case we will get a pink background with a reddish font.

One can use color names too of course and set only background or forground.

    muxoro fg: red

Coming Soon

it is that complicated.

The idea was to create a daemon, which will send tmux configuration messages to all (indicated) sessions. The main reason for that being able to run a pomodoro timer in a tmux session, which itself, is using a Ruby environment (e.g. rvm gemset) that does not contain the Muxoro gem itself.

However, when run in a tmux session, which is a common use case for folx installing this gem on purpose, the timer affects the current session only.

There are for sure better maybe also simpler ways to achieve this.

Daemoinizing has been a peace of cake thanx to the daemons gem.
