Credits ---------- This plugin is a fork of logpad plugin by Sven Knurr <der_tuxman@arcor.de> available at: http://vim.sourceforge.net/scripts/script.php?script_id=2775 Background ---------------- It is suggested to keep a daily log to stay focused on productivity. Life Hacker did [an article](http://lifehacker.com/5582372/use-a-daily-log-to-keep-yourself-focused-on-productivity) on it. I looked for plugin to have similar feature in Vim and that landed me on Logpad plugin. Wouldn't it be nice if besides logging, we can also see how much time was spent on the latest activity? This is exactly what this plugin attempts to do. If you enable it, it will calculate the time elapsed and insert it in the file. With this plugin you get all the features of Logpad plugin plus log duration feature. How to use it ------------------ Create a new file, write .LOG as the first line and save it. Every time you reopen the file, a new line with the current timestamp is added, so you can easily maintain a chronologic log of your tasks. Options ----------- By default, this plugin works the same way as the original Notepad. You can modify certain aspects of it by setting the following variables: let LogpadEnabled = 1     enables/disables logpad     available values : [0, 1]     default value: 1 let LogpadInsert = 0     automatically enables insert mode when a new log entry is created     available values : [0, 1]     default value: 0 let LogpadLineBreak = 0     adds an empty line before a new log entry     available values : [0, 1]     default value: 0 (Windows Notepad behavior) let LogpadIgnoreNotes = 0     allows adding notes before the first log entry     available values : [0, 1]     default value: 0 let LogpadIgnoreReadOnly = 0     allows logpad to ignore a file's read-only flag     available values : [0, 1]     default value: 0 let LogpadLogDuration = 1     adds the time elapsed since last timestamp under the new timestamp     available values : [0 ,1]     default value: 0 Example (without LogpadLogDuration) ---------------------------------------------------- .LOG Sun Jul 14 17:38:44 2013 First entry of the day Sun Jul 14 17:46:11 2013 Replied to customer emails. Sun Jul 14 18:41:43 2013 Skype session with remote team. Example (with LogpadLogDuration) ------------------------------------------------ If LogpadLogDuration is set then time elapsed since last event will also be added. .LOG Sun Jul 14 17:38:44 2013 First entry of the day Sun Jul 14 17:46:11 2013 Time elapsed: 7 min 27 sec Replied to customer emails. Sun Jul 14 18:41:43 2013 Time elapsed: 55 min 32 sec Skype session with remote team. Now you can see that your Skype session took 55 min. Your replied to emails within 7 min. Without this feature, you will have to do mental maths to calculate the time it took you to do a work.
