Alternatively, you can also use Lua equivalents.

vim.keymap.set('n', 'timer' , ':TimerStart<CR>', { desc = 'Start the timer', callback = start_timer_with_prompt, noremap = true, silent = true })
vim.keymap.set('n', '<leader>ts', ':TimerStop<CR>', { desc = 'Stop the timer' })
vim.keymap.set('n', '<leader>tp', ':TimerPause<CR>', { desc = 'Pause the timer' })
vim.keymap.set('n', '<leader>tr', ':TimerResume<CR>', { desc = 'Resume the timer' })
vim.keymap.set('n', '<leader>tre', ':TimerRestart<CR>', { desc = 'Restart  the timer' })
vim.keymap.set('n', '<leader>tt', ':TimerTemplate<CR>', { desc = 'select timer template' })
vim.keymap.set('n', '<leader>sct', ':StartYourCustomTimer<CR>', { desc = 'start your custom timer'})
