t edit, when there is no running entry defaulting to the last one

[vlcinsky]

I use t edit -z aditional note (--append quite) often.

However, if I run it after t out, when there is no running entry, then it complains canẗ find entry.

It would be great, if t edit woudl default to running or last running entry, in the simliar fassion as t resume does.

There is one scenario different then t resume, after change of a sheet:

1. t sheet one
2. t in basic note
3. t edit -z this note works already now, as we have runnung entry
4. t out
5. t edit -z adding note to the same entry as would resume pick
6. t sheet another
7. t edit -z adding note, which shall go to the last task (in sheet one)

I you feel, this could be tricky in some situation, there could come confirmation with message like:
Trying to append note to task in sheet >one<, which is not current one!!! Proceed? (Y/n)

There is no need for confirmation in case, we are appending to task in current sheet.

I like this idea. Perhaps t edit should always operate on the last running sheet if there's not one running. The confirmation seems like a good idea (and you can always bypass it by passing a -y flag).

I need to think some more about the behavior when you've switched sheets. Timetrap already tracks the previous sheet (to enable t s -) and perhaps it could start tracking the last check out of sheet. Then I guess the behavior would be "t edit operates on the running entry for the current sheet, or the last entry you checked out of"

Being expert on forgetting

You see, my typical scenario is switching to another sheet, and then realizing, I forgot to add some note to the last task. I am real expert on this (forgetting).

Terms running versus current sheet

There seem to be too different terms regarding sheet:

• current sheet: last sheet, to which I have switched using t sheet sheetname
• running sheet: current sheet, where is present one running task.

Where to get id of last task

I am aware of data structure in sqlite you use (I like the simplicity). One idea for getting id of last running entry: ask sqlite for id with maximal value. I know, it will take a bit more time then reading a record from meta table, but is it quite safe (safer, then keeping records in meta, which could get out of sync in many scenarios, like killing a taks, a sheet or so).

I like TimeTrap - I already learned some valuable information from my TimeTrap records.
