read-duration

This package provides a function that reads a human-readable time duration from a user and returns the value in seconds, minutes, hours or any other time unit defined in the read-duration-return-units custom variable. The function shows available input characters (available time unit multipliers (see read-duration-multipliers) and digits) in the prompt and checks the input while the user is typing. If the user mistypes, the function calls the `ding' function.

Usage

(read-duration "Duration:")
