Keyboard shortcust to start-stop timers

[gruz]

It would be nice if there were CLI keys to start/stop timer from CLI. In this case it would be possible to assing a keyboard shortcat to quickly start/stop current time.

Something lik
timeit --stop

Nice idea but how to know which task to start? The task's name is not guaranteed to be unique and the real unique id is hidden from user.

I'd say it should be the latest focused one.
I usually use-start stop when I do something and have to interrupt for
coffee or for a phone call. Most of all only one task is active at the
moment.

Or, as an option, start/stop all active tasks. So after if finish the
phone conversation I can quickly return to my work.

So how does this sound:
timeit --pause
Will stop all active tasks and put into a pause list

timeit --start
or:
timeit --unpaus
will then start them again

A manual or automatic start of a task is erasing the pause list.

Sounds good. Maybe when using it some underwater rock can be met. But by
now sounds good.

It is now on the ever growing backlog.....

It is an easy change after fixing #7 but as you might notice I have put the hobby programming on hold for the latest year.
