Hello Gtypist team,
I would like to submit a patch to change a little bit the way the errors count is computed in speed test.
I am a little bit puzzled each time I practice a speed test that despite I fix all my mistakes before reaching the end of the exercise, my error rate is not zero percent (0.00%).
As I would like to use the speed test to mesure my real speed in "normal" conditions, where you have to fix all your mistakes before releasing the text (like an email composing for example). This is a behavior close to the one offered by the
www.typeracer.com website.
So this patch aims at providing an errors rate calculation that counts only the errors not fixed when the user reaches the end of the exercise.
The current limitation is that you can not fix an error on a previous line as the backspace key doesn't allow to go one line back.
Thanks for your involvment in this great software, and let me know if this patch is relevant.
Best Regards,
Alain Ducoulombier
