timew-fill1

Adjust intervals to fill in surrounding gaps

Usage

timew fill <id>

Overview

The 'fill' command is used to adjust any interval to fill in surrounding gaps.

Filling the first or latest interval will result only in a forward-fill or backward-fill respectively, i.e. the fill command will not create an open interval.

The same effect can be achieved with the 'modify range' command in combination with the ':fill' hint.

Examples

For example, assuming the following intervals:

$ timew summary
Wk  Date       Day ID Tags    Start      End    Time   Total
--- ---------- --- -- ---- -------- -------- ------- -------
W32 2025-08-10 Sun @3 FOO   8:00:00  9:00:00 1:00:00
                   @2 BAR  10:00:00 11:00:00 1:00:00
                   @1 BAZ  12:00:00 13:00:00 1:00:00 3:00:00
                                                     -------
                                                     3:00:00

Then having selected '@2' as the interval you wish to fill:

$ timew fill @2
Backfilled @2 to 2025-08-10T09:00:00
Filled @2 to 2025-08-10T12:00:00

This will extend the start and end of the selected interval to the adjacent ones:

$ timew summary
Wk  Date       Day ID Tags    Start      End    Time   Total
--- ---------- --- -- ---- -------- -------- ------- -------
W32 2025-08-10 Sun @3 FOO   8:00:00  9:00:00 1:00:00
                   @2 BAR   9:00:00 12:00:00 3:00:00
                   @1 BAZ  12:00:00 13:00:00 1:00:00 5:00:00
                                                     -------
                                                     5:00:00
