Should `--wait` be the default?

Open justincampbell opened this issue 6 years ago • 3 comments

Right now, the start/status/repeat commands exit immediately, and it's up to the user to either add pomodoro statusto their prompt/tmux status bar/etc. Passing --wait blocks and counts down until the pomodoro is completed.

Should this be the default?

How do you feel about a config file that would let users set their own defaults? wait, length, etc?

@mildwonkey There's currently a setting file that has duration defaults (~/.pomodoro/settings):

daily_goal=8
default_break_duration=5
default_pomodoro_duration=25
default_tags=work

There's nothing CLI-specific in that config, but maybe it should have that option in there? Would still like to change it to always --wait by default if that's a better first-experience for users.

I agree about changing to --wait by default
