#+findex: org-timer-start
Start or reset the relative timer. By default, the timer is set
to 0. When called with a {{{kbd(C-u)}}} prefix, prompt the user for
- a starting offset. If there is a timer string at point, this is
- taken as the default, providing a convenient way to restart taking
- notes after a break in the process. When called with a double
- prefix argument {{{kbd(C-u C-u)}}}, change all timer strings in the
- active region by a certain amount. This can be used to fix timer
- strings if the timer was not started at exactly the right moment.
