Hi, is the text "Postpone break" visible on break when this happens? Only then the shortcut is active. It might also take a second or two for the shortcut to become active when break starts

[sakralbar]

Yes, this text is visible and active. I can postpone the break by clicking on the label.

Now I have found that immediately after the start of the system, delaying the break by ctrl+x does not work in 100% of cases. But if you run Cursor (AI Code Editor, app image), then the break is postponed each time by ctrl+x.

The same thing happens in the case of running VS Code (deb package) or Google chrome. An important clarification is that these programs must be in the form of active windows. If they are minimized to the panel, then delaying breaks by ctrl+x also does not work.

The behavior is the same on both snap and deb versions of Stretchy.

That is weird, will try reproducing when on Linux.

Can you also try setting another shortcut? https://github.com/hovancik/stretchly?tab=readme-ov-file#advanced-preferences and https://github.com/hovancik/stretchly?tab=readme-ov-file#postponefinish-break-shortcut

[sakralbar]

I checked the postponement of breaks with the xorg session - it works. The problem only occurs with the wayland session.

When changing "endBreakShortcut" to "Super+X", the problem also persists - this combination only works with the active windows of the applications listed above.

Maybe it's a similar problem with wayland and hotkeys - https://github.com/warpdotdev/Warp/issues/4800

It is the issue with electron: https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/42573

Had the same issue on Gnome 48 Wayland, both for break skip or pauseBreaksToggleShortcut.

I solved the pauseBreaksToggleShortcut shortcut not working by creating a custom gnome shortcut to stretchly toggle command, works like a charm.

But for break skip, we don't have any CLI command, right ?

Thanks !

@RobinFrcd yeah, no CLI for break skip/postpone, but I guess it could be added
