Clocking in

• I have checked existing issues and there are no existing ones with the same request.

Feature description

One of the killer apps in org mode is the ability to keep track of time spent in tasks or "clocking in". I currently use it to track and invoice hours spent on consulting jobs so it's a very important use case to me.

Help

Yes, but I don't know how to start. I would need guidance

Implementation help

Questions

1. Start a new module or patch a current module?
2. How to best store the clock in/out times? (a task might have multiple clock ins and outs)

I am a fairly capable programmer but I haven't done any neovim/lua development really so advice on setting up a dev workspace might also be helpful but not required.

Im fairly sure we can support this with GTD module
However there are some important stuff I want to tackle before hand (in gtd module), if you're interested in contributing, best suggestion is already to take a look and try gtd module, and before coding anything, we could discuss on a syntax we could use for this feature

I think the syntax for this is stable, but I'm wondering if there are any default/user contributed keybindings that would allow me to 'clock in' and 'clock out'?

no

Right now, no. I recommend you looking at #695 for more details
