[Features request] Prevent break screen exit when move mouse and auto start when booting to linux

Open ghost opened this issue 3 years ago • 4 comments

Hello author. Thanks for greate extenstion. It help me a lot when i'm working at home. But i think it should add 2 features 1 - In break time. an black overlay appear and show time remaining. It should keep the screen stay even we move the mouse. In current version, whenever i move the mouse, the screen is exit immediately. My idea is you should make an button trigger like ESC to exit the break screen

2- Is there anyway to make the app autostart when booting to Linux?

And regarding 1. I don't know if this is a feature request or rather a bug. Because here mouse movement doesn't affect the break screen.

With gnome-pomodoro 0.20.0 and GNOME Shell 40.5 I don't have that issue.

Do you use GNOME Shell extension? Do you by any chance have HiDPI screen?

  1. I don't want to assume that non-technical user would press ESC. Dismissing the overlay by an activity seems like a better default. There should be a resistance to accidental mouse movements. If overlay is dismissed too easily - this needs to be improved.
  2. As José mentioned, you can use GNOME Tweak Tools. Add gnome-pomodoro --start.

@kamilprusko You are right, I didn't even realize but I can dismiss the overlay by moving the mouse. However, what made me think that mouse movement doesn't affect the break screen was probably related to this issue https://github.com/gnome-pomodoro/gnome-pomodoro/issues/554#issuecomment-842393531.

I just tried it and started the break screen a couple of times. Here on my machine I cannot dismiss the overlay in the first seconds (it seems quite random as it may take something between 1-10 seconds, but mostly 2-3 seconds). But this just might be the same that @crepererum described in this comment https://github.com/gnome-pomodoro/gnome-pomodoro/issues/554#issuecomment-842393531.
