Triggers

Each timer must define a trigger. Triggers are matched on touch-capable watches and used to quick-select timers on the watch.

Tap triggers

Tap triggers use a single zone:

trigger = { tap = "top" }

Accepted zone names:

• left or l
• top or t
• right or r
• bottom or b
• center or c

Swipe triggers

Swipe triggers use a from-to pair:

trigger = { swipe = "l-to-r" }

The same zone aliases apply on both sides of the swipe.

Uniqueness

Triggers do not need to be unique. Multiple timers can share the same trigger definition, which is useful when you want one gesture to rotate through a group of related timers.

When multiple timers share a trigger, Thymer loops through the matching timers each time you use that trigger.

That means all of these are valid:

• multiple taps from the same zone
• multiple swipes with the same from and to

Invalid examples

trigger = { tap = "north" }

trigger = { swipe = "left-right" }
