Commentary

There are those for whom simply using a window manager like StumpWM is enough to force them to buckle down and work, mostly because they don’t know how to play around with it (due to a lack of frills). However, there are also those who know how to move around in StumpWM and who may find themselves falling into the same bad habits as those who use “normal” WMs; that is, switching between windows a lot and fiddling with random functions the WM has available. This fixes that by temporarily disabling StumpWM.

Incidentally, I’m not positive, but I believe that this may be StumpWM’s first Minor Mode.

Usage

Just add the following line to your .stumpwmrc file:

(load-module "productivity")

…and then bind `productivity-mode-toggle’ to a key in your *top-map*. I recommend H-# (Hyper-shift-3).

When you activate productivity-mode, you won’t be able to access any of your StumpWM keymaps. That’s right–the window manager is effectively disabled! If you try to leave the window, or display the time, or go to another group, or control MPD, or switch frames, or whatever, you will instead be presented with a curt reminder of what you’re supposed to be doing. To escape from this mode, just hit the key you have productivity-mode-toggle bound to again.

Absolutely DO NOT start productivity-mode from your .stumpwmrc file unless you (a) are absolutely sure you have productivity-mode-toggle bound to a key already, (b) automatically switch to a window capable of controlling StumpWM (i.e., Emacs or a terminal) in your .stumpwmrc, (c) want to convince your friends your computer is broken, or (d) are crazy.

Configuration

The following can be customized. If no example is given, please see the code.

*productivity-keys*: Any and all keys you have bound to the *top-map* and their associated commands. ex:

(setf *productivity-keys*
      '(("H-t"   *root-map*)
        ("C-;"   *rat-map*)
        ("Print" "screenshot")))

*productivity-start-message*: What StumpWM should print when you start productivity-mode.

*productivity-stop-message*: What StumpWM should print when you stop productivity-mode

*productivity-back-to-work-message*: What StumpWM should print when you attempt to waste time (you lazy, lazy, um…lazy person).

Tasks

Implement these features

  • [ ] Add an option to toggle the mode-line on and off.
  • [ ] Add an option to display a notifier for this mode, when on, in the mode-line (a la Emacs’ minor modes).
    • Perhaps this could be integrated into a “minor modes” package? (Just in case somebody insinuates that StumpWM doesn’t have everything.)
  • [ ] Add a timer feature (i.e., have it toggle itself at a given interval or hour, so you can have your work time and messing-around-on-the-computer time predetermined).
  • [ ] Add an option to disable stumpish, slime and/or stumpwm-mode.el (choose your poison/s).
  • [ ] Make it do your work for you.
    • Note to self: Finish this one first, then have it write the rest for you.
