I would like a command that writes a completion script for any supported $SHELL to stdout.

For example, to enable completion for klog commands in Bash, one would source the output of klog completion bash:

echo '. <(klog completion bash)' >>~/.bashrc

If there is interest, I can implement. I think that Cobra automatically generates shell completion.

I've taken the time to test the release candiate and read the guide and specifications. I really like it, good job! My main use case would be to track my working time, especially overtime. To make this as convenient as possible, I'd be really happy to have the following features:

• a config file mechanism: maybe a user global file like ~/.klogconf. In this file I'd like to put a default directory where I keep all my records and my default "should value" and maybe addtional settings. There could even be a mechanism that looks in the local directory for a local config first, should that be necessary
• the ability to create records/entries via the cli:
  • something like klog in to create an entry with the default "should value", date, current time and open ended entry, maybe a default tag from the config (also an option to add or omit certain values). Ideally this would automatically choose the right file, like one file for each month in the configured directory.
  • also klog out to create the corresponding value that "closes" the previous klog in
• nice to have: allow negative ranges such as -(08:00-09:30) to be the same as -1h30m

I've added klog to my PATH and tried few commands. I can operate the logs, print them etc but the bookmark feature did not work. I'd love to provide further details but the error received is just that plain.

C:\_clienti>klog bookmark set timelog.klog
Error: Failed to create bookmark


C:\_clienti>klog version
Command line tool: v2.2  [0bb0d83]
File format: version 1 (RFC)

Checking for newer version...
You already have the latest version!

In record summaries (the text directly underneath the date) you can write multiple lines, but in entry summaries (the text behind the time values) you are restricted to a single line.

klog should support multiple lines for the entry summaries as well, by making use of the indentation. That allows for more flexibility.

As an example:

2020-02-02
    4h Today I finally answered all my
       unread emails, yay
    1h Reading

This requires a change of the spec, though, so I want to wait until v1.0 of the file format is finalised.

This issue came out of https://github.com/jotaen/klog/discussions/50

Hey, I think you it could be handy to have filter aliases similar to today and yesterday for weeks and months. Something like thisweek, lastweek, thismonth and lastmonth.

This is more of a question than a suggestion.

At my workplace I need to keep track of two things:

• the time period I am at the workplace (when I get there, and when I leave)
• the time I spend with specific projects

Usually, I do a multitude of things for my department. But sometimes I get assigned to a project where we bill for the time we spent on that project.

What I want to do is to write down an entry when I get to work and when I leave. Then I'd like to make an entry for the time spend with the project, which would be a "part" of that time. At the end of the month I'd like to summarize the total of hours spent with that project.

The only way I think I could do this as of right now would be:

2021-03-26
  08:00 - 17:00
  -1h lunch
  4h20m #foo
  -4h20m

This will give that I worked 8 hours that day, and when I summarize #foo, it would give 4h20m. Is there an best practice to do what I want?

(If this was to be some additional feature to the language, I have no idea how that would work.)

I noticed something that I'm really missing: The sum of my overtime -not including- the current time. For example for klog now -d

            Today    Overall
Total          2m    165h27m
Should        8h!      168h!
Diff       -7h58m     -2h33m
E.T.A.      1:31>      20:06

I wish there was maybe a first line which would tell me what's the total of my overtime without taking the current time into account (or assuming I fulfill my should time today). Not sure how to best name and display it, but I think that's very important.

For macOS there is a great productivity tool called alfred. Once the core functionality of klog has matured, I think it would be cool to add an alfred integration. If I find the time, I‘d be happy to help with that. All that should be needed would probably be an option that returns the output as json.

This way mac users could call klog from anywhere instantly without opening the terminal.

I have been reading through the specification, and I believe there are a few things which needs further clarifications.

I. Records

Summary

It MUST be separated from the entry one “space”

Incorrect wording, I believe.

Range

There MUST be a - between the two values, which MAY be surrounded by one “space” on each side.

Ambigious. Can there be ...

• ... multiple spaces?
• ... spaces on just one side?

klog currently actually accepts ranges in the format of 00:00 -01:11

The ? MAY be written in repeatedly, e.g. ???.

Incorrect wording. Maybe use "in a recurring succession"?

Duration

I would very much like to see a clarification that the minute part cannot be greater than 59, if it is in combination with an hour part. I assume this is the intended behaviour, since klog throws an error if the minutes are greater than 60. However, surprisingly it actually accepts 1h60m and interprets that as 2h. I believe this is a bug with the program, but I might be wrong.

II. Organizing records in files

Subsequent records MUST be separated by one “blank line”; there MAY be additional blank lines.

Contradictory. I interpret the first sentence as "must be separated by one and only one blank line". I wish for this to be clarified.

The eval feature currently takes only one tag at a time. It will be helpful to list aggregates for all categories at the same time. eg:

klog eval --tag=ALL

# Output
work  5h
personal 6h
client 3h

I am attempting to pipe output to klog.exe on Windows, version v2.2 [0bb0d83].

In this example I receive the following error:

$ cat .\time.klg | .\klog.exe total
Error: No input given
Please do one of the following:
    a) pass one or multiple file names as argument
    b) pipe file contents via stdin
    c) specify a bookmark to read from by default

This was attempted using PowerShell 7 (Preview) and Git for Windows (bash) respectively.
