Hamster can be used very efficiently from the keyboard if desired. You may also
find it useful to bind either the command hamster-lite or hamster-lite add to a
keyboard application shortcut using your desktop UI settings.
The following key combinations can be used in the overview window.
Left or Right: Same as < or > buttons. Navigate backwards or forwards
in time.
Down/Up: Navigate the activity list, starting from the top/bottom
respectively, and select a previous activity.
Home/End: Navigate to the first or last activity in the list, respectively,
and select the activity.
PageDown/PageUp: Navigate the activity list if longer than one page.
Ctrl++: Create a new activity. If an existing activity is selected, it will
be resumed (i.e. its details will be cloned, aside from the start time). Same as
the + button in the action bar.
Enter or Ctrl+R: Resume an existing selected activity.
Enter is the same as Return.
Ctrl+N: Create a New activity from scratch.
Ctrl+Enter or Ctrl+E: Edit/Update the selected activity if any.
Same as double click.
Ctrl+Space: Stop tracking the ongoing activity, if any. Same as the stop
button in the action bar.
Delete: Delete the selected activity if any.
More Ctrl combinations: Most keys above without Ctrl can also be used in
combination with Ctrl, for example Ctrl+Left. The exception is Enter.
Note: the behaviour of the Enter/Return keys in hamster-lite differs from
the main Hamster v2+ application.
