"Quick Add" / "Favorite" / "Custom" Timers

[philosowaffle]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I have several activities I do on a regular basis that always use the exact same tags.

For example, I may track how much time I spend checking my Email at work. The tags used for tracking this activity never change. Additionally, this is an activity that is a quick context switch, it may take me more time to start a Traggo timer than it will for me to read through the new emails. (yes, this is a bit of a contrived example)

Ultimately I'm looking for a convenience feature that speeds up how efficiently I can track small slices of time.

Describe the solution you'd like
I would like to be able to:

1. CRUD custom Timers
2. A Custom Timer should have
   1. A Name
   2. A set of tags that should be applied to it
   3. A boolean Replace Active Timers
      1. When TRUE => stop all Active Timers and start this one
      2. When FALSE => start this timer without any other action
3. The List page should have a convenient way of choosing one of these custom timers
4. On selection, the chosen custom timer will activate per its configuration

Describe alternatives you've considered
I could try to do this with a new tag, task:checkEmail, which (when querying later) I can assume various attributes applied to it. But I don't love this as it de-normalizes what is otherwise normalized information via distinct tags on my other tasks.

Alternatively I can write my own local helper using the GraphQL Api. Which I'll probably do, but thought I'd toss a feature spec out here in case it resonated with anyone else.

Additional context
In my mind these are just displayed as a dynamic list of buttons on the List/Calendar pages. They could also be put under a hamburger menu.

On the List page it might be convenient to access these via a slash command (/) in the input field.

There is already the continue feature in the triple dot menu on each entry in the list view. This adds a new timer with the tags of the selected entry.

The feature sounds useful, but I think the continue feature already covers most of the functionality.

Completely understand not wanting to build something that is too niche.

For documentation purposes I'll add:

The Continue button is handy and I use it. However its only convenient if the task you're looking for is in the most recent 3-5 timers. Beyond that, trying to find a timer with the exact right combination of tags feels like the equivalent of "hunting and pecking" on a keyboard to type.

My current workflow:

1. If the timer I need is in the most recent 3-5 -> use Continue
2. Else type all the tags out and start a new timer.

I was thinking of something similar to this too, since I pretty much do the same thing. I mainly use Traggo on mobile so if I have to type out 4 tags it can take a bit, but the drop down does a pretty good job.

Another issue I noticed, is if you put 2 or more tags and want to edit the one that isn't on the end, you need to delete all tags before the one you're trying to edit. This mainly is an issue when using the continue feature.

^^ This.
This has annoyed me quite a few times when i realized i selected the wrong tag. Would be lovely if this could be made better.

Would you be willing to accept a MR for this feature?

If more users want this feature yes.
