I like workrave very much, but when playing a game in fullscreen it is very annoying if workrave pops up its break warnings. I would like to have an (optional?) Hotkey to disable workrave. Re-activation coult either be another hotkey, or it could re-enable itself autmatically after X minutes of inactivity.

I agree, I'd like to see this feature added because I use Workrave on my machine at work, and sometimes people come by to talk to me about something and I'm showing them code and up pops the micro-break window, and then I have to fight it off the screen. I can go to the tray icon and right-click and suspend it, but it would be nice if I could just have a hotkey bound to suspend/un-suspend it, like ctrl+alt+s or something like that.

A global hotkey to go into a rest break would also be nice.

Is there any hope of this ever being done? I honestly think this would be a useful feature for many people.

I second this request. It would be VERY useful to have a global hotkey like Alt-Ctrl-W (or something configurable) that enables/disables Workrave wherever you are. A "suspend workrave for n minutes" hotkey would be cool as well, but it's not close to being as important as the enable/disable hotkey.

Another option (or additional) is to have an additional, optional button on the pop-ups: "Suspend workrave for 60 min" or similar. It could be an icon of a powerplug being pulled out. My biggest problem isn't to quickly disable workrave, but rather once I disable it, I forget to enable it again.
