how to pause resume xfce4-timer-plugin from terminal

how to pause resume xfce4-timer-plugin from terminal.
i typed xfce4-timer-plugin --help and man xfce4-timer-plugin but didnt work. i want to quickly pause and resume timer using keyboard shortcut via command. GUI method is time taking and problematic with my improper touchpad due to lack of driver support in Linux.
thanks for the help.

Re: how to pause resume xfce4-timer-plugin from terminal

Hello and welcome.

It doesn't look like its possible, unfortunately.

You could try X automation to mimic the actions though the use of xdotool and a command like this:

xdotool mousemove 1360 10 click 1 mousemove_relative -- -50 55 click 1

...you would have to adjust the geometry coordinates to suit your system. Repeatedly executing this will act like a toggle.
