Hello,
This is my first try to implement the snapback function that prevents switching tags for a given time (and thus should help one to focus on a task). Naturally there still ways around it, and there always will be ways around it.
This is my first try to implement the snapback function that prevents switching tags for a given time (and thus should help one to focus on a task). Naturally there still ways around it, and there always will be ways around it.
There are also for sure bugs lurking in there. For example when multiple tags are selected. Since this is my first lua snippet, maybe a more experienced person here can help out with concrete suggestions how to clean up the code or improve it.
Thanks.
