NAME

       timew-annotate - add an annotation to intervals

SYNOPSIS

       timew annotate [<id>...] <annotation>

DESCRIPTION

       The 'annotate' command is used to add an annotation to an interval.

       See the 'summary' command on how to display the <id> and <annotation> of an interval.

EXAMPLES

       Annotate a single interval

           Call the command with an id and the annotation:

               $ timew annotate @2 'Lorem ipsum'
               Annotated @2 with "Lorem ipsum"

       Remove an annotation

           Annotating an interval with an empty string removes the annotation:

               $ timew annotate @1 ''
               Removed annotation from @1

       Annotate multiple intervals

           You can annotate multiple intervals with the same annotation at once, by specifying
           their ids:

               $ timew annotate @2 @10 @23 'Lorem ipsum'
               Annotated @1 with "Lorem ipsum"
               Annotated @10 with "Lorem ipsum"
               Annotated @23 with "Lorem ipsum"

       Annotate the current open interval

           If there is active time tracking, you can omit the ID when you want to add an
           annotation to the current open interval:

               $ timew start foo
               ...
               $ timew annotate bar
               Annotated @1 with "bar"

           This results in the current interval having tag 'foo' and annotation 'bar'.

BUGS & LIMITATIONS

       The summary command truncates annotations longer than 15 characters. To display longer
       annotations, one can use the 'export' command, or a custom report.

       Currently, the annotation command picks the last token from the command line and uses it
       as annotation. I.e. using no quotes in an annotation command like

           $ timew annotate @1 lorem ipsum

       will result in interval @1 having only 'ipsum' as its annotation. Use quotes to avoid
       this.
