Flexi time tracker in Rust

Lucky to work in a company where Flexi time is available, I take the opportunity to write a flexi time tracker to learn Rust.

Quick start

At first launch, use arrows key to select and configure your schedule and how many holidays you have, and how much you have left for the current year and hit ESC to begin. Press 'o' to recall this screen (will apply to not already created month).

On the main view, use UP/DOWN to select the day to edit and ENTER to go to edit mode. Use LEFT/RIGHT to select the field, UP/DOWN to edit it by one unit, or type the wanted value. Press ENTER or ESC to finish.

Press HOME to focus the current day.

Full hotkey list

Main view mode

• Home to go to today
• Enter to toggle edit mode
• Esc to exit edit mode/options
• b to set beginning by current time
• e to set end by current time
• h to toggle holiday
• s to toggle sick day
• Arrow Up/Down navigate by day
• Arrow Left/Right navigate by week
• Page Up/Down to navigate by month
• o to open options
• u undo up to 5 last edition

Edit mode

• Arrows left/right to move fields
• Arrows up/down to change field by one increment
• Typing number edit the field as well

Tricks

Offsets

You can manually add to settings.json just before the last closing brace:

"offsets": {
  "entry": value_in_minutes,
  "exit": value_in_minutes,
}

This will affect b (entry's value) and e (exit's value) hotkeys by removing/adding this offset to the current time.

I use it to set the time it takes to go from the badge reader to my desk so the input time is correct.

Undo

You can set the maximum undo to store (5 by default). The more you want, more RAM it will use.

Build instruction

The whole project is only tested on Windows 7/10, should build on other platform with a few edits but I'm not able to provide support if any issue arise.

On Windows, to use build.bat, you need http://angusj.com/resourcehacker/ to be installed in order to have an icon with the exe. Edit build.bat according to the installation path.

If you don't care about the icon, just run cargo build --release.
