Another nice-to-see would be to have dvorakng read from stdin to provide a typing exercise.
Thanks for the modifications, i have missed the 'own text file' option in dvorak7min.
Another mods could be:
- to store the last score, or scores for each lesson, and maybe an average also, to see the (hopefully) improvement;
- to let the terminal/the system configuration decide the background and foreground colours - I miss the whitish background with black/dark text.
But, got the vote up :)
Very nice
This is a great program, and there is only one thing that is missing. When I am typing and I get a letter wrong, it benefits me to know what i just typed instead. Something in the corner that showed the last typed letter would help a lot.
dvorak-fr/fr-dvorak
Your tools seems great and quite simple to learn dvorak but would you consider adding dvroak-fr and fr-dvorak support ?
Good one!
Good utility to learn, i have started with it!
