Retain elapsed time across events

[ghost]

Hello! Have you ever considered adding an option to retain elapsed time across events?

Currently, the elapsed time will always reset whenever the focus is moved from buffer X to buffer Y and so on. With the option set, the elapsed time will instead keep on going regardless of the events.

Hi @cytheworker! Interesting, I think this is actually an oversight on my part since I tend to be editing files in workspaces more often than not.

What you're suggesting probably should actually be the default behavior—all buffers in a given nvim instance probably should track its own elapsed time. I've been fairly busy lately so I'm not sure when I'll be able to get to this (I'm still in the middle of addressing #40), but I've created a card to track this effort for you to stay posted when I do take it on.

is it possible to have it initialize and read the elapsed time of neovim and check on what's happening in the buffers?
