First of all, I´m sorry for my Enlish, I'll try to be as understandable as I can. When Reading Mode is activated and either Micro-break or Rest Break finish, Reading Mode is active. That's what happens normally. What I propose is that Reading Mode becomes inactive when any of the Breaks start (or finish, it would be the same) until there is keyboard or mouse usage (after that, Reading Mode is activated again). I suggest so because I sometimes take an extra time (more time than the set time, especially, for the Micro-break) and, when I come back to use my computer, I notice that there will be less time for the next Micro-break. What I do now is to disable Reading Mode when I'm prompted to take a break and, after the break, I enable it again (but that is quite annoying). It would be good if there were an option that allow doing that automatically. I hope it's useful and understandable. I send you the idea written in Spanish too. Regards Cuando uno activa el Reading Mode [Modo Lectura], éste permanece activado siempre, icluso durante y después de los Breaks [Pausas] - tanto el Micro-Break [Micropausa] como el Rest Break [Descanso]. El problema con esto, por lo menos en mi caso, es que algunas veces hago pausas mayores al tiempo que tengo establecido para, por ejemplo, el Micro-Break [Micropausa]. En consecuencia, el tiempo para la siguiente pausa disminuye. Lo que hago actualmente es, cada vez que se me sugiere una pausa, desactivar el Reading Mode y luego, finalizada dicha pausa, lo activo nuevamente; esto resulta bastante engorroso. La sugerencia que hago es incluir una opción que permita automatizar lo que acabo de describir. De esta manera, usuarios que tienen metodologías de trabajo similares a las mías pueden aprovechar mejor el Reading Mode.

Looking for a software that allows me to do those necessary clicks in order to enable/disable Reading Mode, I have found a program called AutoHotKey. After learning a little about it, now I'm able to press only two keys and it clicks what is necessary to enable/disable Reading Mode. So, when I am prompted to take a rest, I just press those two keys. I also do it when I go back to work with the computer. I have posted this as an alternative - I still consider very useful to have the option I have mentioned in the previous post. Regards
