timew-continue - resume tracking of existing interval
timew continue [ <id> | <tag> ... ] [ <datetime> | <range> ]
The 'continue' command is used to resume tracking specified by a closed interval. This command is a convenient way to resume work without re-entering the tags.
The interval to be resumed can be specified either by its id or by a set of tags. Specifying multiple ids or both ids and tags will result in an error.
When given a set of tags, the first interval matching it will be taken as a blueprint for the new interval. When given neither id nor tags, the first interval in the database is taken.
When no datetime or range given, the new interval is started at the current time.
Using the 'summary' command and specifying the ':ids' hint shows interval IDs. Consider the following intervals:
$ src/timew summary :ids
Wk Date Day ID Tags Start End Time Total
W23 2020-06-04 Thu @4 BAR 13:00:00 14:00:00 1:00:00
@3 BAR, FOO 14:00:00 15:00:00 1:00:00
@2 BAR, BAZ, FOO 15:00:00 16:00:00 1:00:00
@1 FOO 16:00:00 17:00:00 1:00:00 4:00:00
4:00:00
$ timew continue
The 'continue' command creates a new open interval, starting now, with tag 'FOO'
$ timew continue @3
The 'continue' command creates a new open interval, starting now, with tags 'BAR' and 'FOO'.
$ timew continue FOO BAR
The 'continue' command creates a new open interval, starting now, with tags 'FOO', 'BAR', and 'BAZ'.
Note that the first matching interval (here '@2') is taken as a blueprint for the new interval, although '@3' would have been a perfect match for the given tag set. The command 'timew continue BAR' would have the same effect. This means that there is no way to continue '@4' via a tag set.
$ timew continue @4 19:00 (1)
$ timew continue FOO 19:00 (2)
The 'continue' command creates a new open interval
$ timew continue @4 19:00 - 20:00 (1)
$ timew continue FOO 19:00 - 20:00 (2)
The 'continue' command creates a new closed interval
