;;; Commentary:

;;; The docstring for the function `type-break-mode' summarizes most of the
;;; details of the interface.

;;; This package relies on the assumption that you live entirely in emacs,
;;; as the author does.  If that's not the case for you (e.g. you often
;;; suspend emacs or work in other windows) then this won't help very much;
;;; it will depend on just how often you switch back to emacs.  At the very
;;; least, you will want to turn off the keystroke thresholds and rest
;;; interval tracking.

;;; This package was inspired by Roland McGrath's hanoi-break.el.
;;; Thanks to both Roland McGrath <[e-mail]> and Mark Ashton
;;; <[e-mail]> for feedback and ideas.

;;; Code:


(require 'timer)

;; Make this nil initially so that the call to type-break-mode at the end
;; will cause scheduling and so forth to happen.

The first number is the minimum number of keystrokes that must have been
entered since the last typing break before considering another one, even if
the scheduled time has elapsed; the break is simply rescheduled until later
if the minimum threshold hasn't been reached.  If this first value is nil,
then there is no minimum threshold; as soon as the scheduled time has
elapsed, the user will always be queried.

The second number is the maximum number of keystrokes that can be entered
before a typing break is requested immediately, pre-empting the originally
scheduled break.  If this second value is nil, then no pre-emptive breaks
will occur; only scheduled ones will.

Keys with bucky bits (shift, control, meta, etc) are counted as only one

(defun type-break-mode (&optional prefix)
  "Enable or disable typing-break mode.
This is a minor mode, but it is global to all buffers by default.

When this mode is enabled, the user is encouraged to take typing breaks at
appropriate intervals; either after a specified amount of time or when the
user has exceeded a keystroke threshold.  When the time arrives, the user
is asked to take a break.  If the user refuses at that time, emacs will ask
again in a short period of time.  The idea is to give the user enough time
to find a good breaking point in his or her work, but be sufficiently
annoying to discourage putting typing breaks off indefinitely.

A negative prefix argument disables this mode.
No argument or any non-negative argument enables it.

The user may enable or disable this mode by setting the variable of the
same name, though setting it in that way doesn't reschedule a break or
reset the keystroke counter.

If the mode was previously disabled and is enabled as a consequence of
calling this function, it schedules a break with `type-break-schedule' to
make sure one occurs (the user can call that command to reschedule the
break at any time).  It also initializes the keystroke counter.

The variable `type-break-interval' specifies the number of seconds to
schedule between regular typing breaks.  This variable doesn't directly
affect the time schedule; it simply provides a default for the
`type-break-schedule' command.

If set, the variable `type-break-good-rest-interval' specifies the minimum
amount of time which is considered a reasonable typing break.  Whenever
that time has elapsed, typing breaks are automatically rescheduled for
later even if emacs didn't prompt you to take one first.  Also, if a break
is ended before this much time has elapsed, the user will be asked whether
or not to continue.

The variable `type-break-keystroke-threshold' is used to determine the
thresholds at which typing breaks should be considered.  You can use
the command `type-break-guestimate-keystroke-threshold' to try to
approximate good values for this.

Finally, the command `type-break-statistics' prints interesting things."
