behavior
Normal is the classic type test experience. Expert fails the
test if you submit (press space) an incorrect word. Master
fails if you press a single incorrect key (meaning you have to
achieve 100% accuracy).
Press
tab
to quickly restart the test, or to quickly jump to the test
page. This function disables tab navigation on the website.
This setting changes the restarting behavior when typing in
quote mode. Changing it to 'typing' will repeat the quote if
you restart while typing.
No errors or incorrect words are highlighted. Helps you to
focus on raw speed. If enabled, quick end is recommended.
This option will automatically show the words history at the
end of the test. Can cause slight lag with a lot of words.
When enabled, it will show the command line with all commands
in a single list instead of submenu arrangements. Selecting
'manual' will expose all commands only after typing
>
.
Automatically fails a test if your WPM falls below a
threshold.
Automatically fails a test if your accuracy falls below a
threshold.
Automatically fails a test if your raw for a single word falls
below this threshold. Selecting 'flex' allows for this
threshold to automatically decrease for longer words.
When enabled, the website will use the British spelling
instead of American. Note that this might not replace all
words correctly. If you find any issues, please let us know.
These are special modes that change the website in some
special way (by altering the word generation, behavior of the
website or the looks). Give each one of them a try!
Select which layouts you want the layoutfluid funbox to cycle
through.
input
Allows you to delete any word, even if it was typed correctly.
Pressing space at the beginning of a word will insert a space
character when this mode is enabled.
This mode will force you to use opposite
shift
keys for shifting. Using an incorrect one will count as an
error. This feature ignores keys in locations
B
,
Y
, and
^
because many people use the other hand for those keys.
Letter mode will stop input when pressing any incorrect
letters. Word mode will not allow you to continue to the next
word until you correct all mistakes.
When enabled, you will not be able to go back to previous
words to fix mistakes. When turned up to the max, you won't be
able to backspace at all.
This only applies to the words mode - when enabled, the test
will end as soon as the last word has been typed, even if it's
incorrect. When disabled, you need to manually confirm the
last incorrect entry with a space.
Shows typos underneath the letters.
Swap the behavior of tab and escape keys.
Replaces accented letters with their normal equivalents.
With this setting you can emulate other layouts. This setting
is best kept off, as it can break things like dead keys and
alt layers.
sound
Plays a short sound when you press a key.
Plays a short sound if you press an incorrect key or press
space too early.
caret
The caret will move smoothly between letters and words.
Change the style of the caret during the test.
Displays a second caret that moves at constant speed. The
'average' option average the speed of last 10 results.
When repeating a test, a pace caret will automatically be
enabled for one test with the speed of your previous test. It
does not override the pace caret if it's already enabled.
Change the style of the pace caret during the test.
appearance
Change the style of the timer/progress during a timed test.
Change the color of the timer/progress number/bar and live wpm
number.
Change the opacity of the timer/progress number/bar and live
wpm number.
Change what is highlighted during the test.
When enabled, the line transition will be animated.
When enabled, the website will show all lines for word, custom
and quote mode tests - otherwise the lines will be limited to
3, and will automatically scroll. Using this could cause the
timer text and live wpm to not be visible.
Always shows decimal places for values on the result page,
without the need to hover over the stats.
Always shows characters per minute calculation instead of the
default words per minute calculation.
Force graph axis to always start at zero, no matter what the
data is. Turning this off may exaggerate the value changes.
Change the font size of the test words.
Control the width of the content.
Displays your current layout while taking a test. React shows
what you pressed and Next shows what you need to press next.
theme
By default, typed text is brighter than the future text. When
enabled, the colors will be flipped and the future text will
be brighter than the already typed text.
When enabled, the test words will use the main color, instead
of the text color, making the website more colorful.
Set an image url to be a custom background image. Cover fits
the image to cover the screen. Contain fits the image to be
fully visible. Max fits the image corner to corner.
Apply various effects to the custom background.
blur
brightness
saturate
opacity
After completing a test, the theme will be set to a random
one. The random themes are not saved to your config. If set to
'fav' only favourite themes will be randomized. If set to
'light' or 'dark', only presets with light or dark background
colors will be randomized, respectively.
