Emacs: easily set timers with TMR
About this film
In this ~15-minute video I demonstrate a package of mine called tmr (pronounced as an acronym or as “timer”). It uses a simple notation to set the duration of a timer at the minibuffer prompt. Once the timer elapses, Emacs shows a notification. The desktop environment will also include one, as well as an audio alert (those are configurable). Timers can optionally have a description. They may also be listed in a tabulated/grid view, which makes it easier to work with them (to edit their description, reschedule them, etc.). Running timers may also be displayed on the mode line. Sample configuration (use-package tmr :ensure t :config (define-key global-map (kbd "C-c t") #'tmr-prefix-map) (setq tmr-sound-file "/usr/share/sounds/freedesktop/stereo/alarm-clock-elapsed.oga" tmr-notification-urgency 'normal tmr-description-list 'tmr-description-history)) TMR sources Package name (GNU ELPA): tmr Official manual: https://protesilaos.com/emacs/tmr Change log: https://protesilaos.com/emacs/tmr-changelog Git repositories: GitHub: https://github.com/protesilaos/tmr GitLab: https://gitlab.com/protesilaos/tmr Backronym: TMR May Ring; Timer Must Run.
