- You can reset a test using C-e key combination.
- You can skip a test using the Esc key.
- You can do
-p -W file.txtor-pW file.txtto select a text file from thewords/folder of this project. E.g., you can do-pW ten-thousand.txtto select the 10K word file from here. Your current working directory (CWD) does not matter. - When the report card is shown, you can use backspace or C-w or C-backspace to go back and correct yourself somewhere in the test you just completed. Do note that that the time you spent reading the report card is accounted for calculating WPM.
- You can use this script to swap your keyboard layout per test. Similar to the Layoutfluid feature of MonkeyType.
- You can do
