However, I=E2=80=99m open to making Workrave more extendable in general. For example,=20 - by allowing users to define their own custom breaks/reminders (at a = specific time, or after an amount of =E2=80=9Cactive=E2=80=9D time). - by allowing users to define custom actions that are executed when a = break starts/ends. The latter is already possible to a certain extend on Linux (by using = D-Bus) However, I never implemented this flexibility, and it is currently also = not very high on my todo list. (But feel free to contribute :-) Kind regards, Rob > On 4 Nov 2019, at 13:40, Mathijs Groen <[email protected]> = wrote: >=20 > Could Workrave be extended with the feature that automatically = switches (after setting interval) of mouse use with left and right hand? >=20 > After the interval, a popup is displayed showing that it is time to = switch, after which Workrave automatically switches the left and right = mouse buttons. >=20 > Next interval vice versa.
