Smart Time Entry

There are ongoing improvements with the time entry so this documentation will be improved once features go into the build

When entering times in an event block ontime makes available a few shortcuts

Note
Entry
Result

Ontime accepts . , : and spaces as separators between hh:mm:ss

0.1 0 1 0:1 0,1

00:00:01

The keyword p returns the end time of the previous event

p

(if previous event finishes at 09:00:00) 09:00:00

Starting a time entry with a + sign, adds the time to the previous event

+10:10

(if previous event finishes at 09:00:00) 09:10:10

Any time overflow is considered

02:00:00 (120 minutes)

You can enter a full time tag without spacers. Note that you need 6 digits for this hhmmss, otherwise it will be considered as minutes

123456

12:34:56

You can use a separator as short for 0

10: or :10

10:00:00 or 00:10:00
