steno-dictionaries VS monkeytype

https://steno.sammdot.ca/emily-symbols.png

for these, where it says starter, you just press all those keys down, and then on the other side you press the keys listed for what you want. so for example, I can enter like ~104 symbols without moving my hands. the average sybmol layer has like 20. the crossplatform movement dict lets me move around much easier in any text field. (note that you don't really even need to know what the key names you are pressing are as its all a pattern) I currently have six other dictionaries that I use some of the time. you can see more here: https://www.openstenoproject.org/stenodict/.

any cli program would be very easy to add most of the commands to a dictionary if you wanted. for example, a basic git dictionary: https://github.com/didoesdigital/steno-dictionaries/blob/mas...

plover has made using a computer much more fun. its a bit of a hard sell for a lot of people, but I recommend trying out some of the other dictionaries to see what you can do besides type words fast. its seriously really crazy that we are only pressing one key at a time using a keyboard.

In the spirit of reduction, I look another look at https://github.com/didoesdigital/steno-dictionaries/blob/master/dictionaries/dict.json. In the same way that I asked how many of the 128 left-hand (four fingers only) states are actually used by the dictionary, I can also ask how many of the 4 million available chords are actually used?

It's gotta be fun, and Typing for the Dead is a good one.

More recently though, there's https://monkeytype.com/ and https://play.typeracer.com/ which are fun little breaks during the day.

Check out these words. These are 10 words from the English 1k word list on monkeytype.com

Try a small change and sometimes a drastic one (like dropping a column or row) and mash keybr.com and monkeytype.com until it feels natural, or not then revert. And if I revert I often try again a few weeks later...

Average typing speed when typing a >50 word long quote. If you don't know your average typing speed, you can test yourself at https://monkeytype.com/.

It works normal in small projects but when I open for example monkeytype and edit a file it lags so much that sometime it crashes.

I had a really useful website bookmarked in the past, which let you enter a keyboard shortcut and see what programs used that same shortcut. It was really helpful if I needed to create a keyboard shortcut that I knew wouldn't conflict with Windows or any other programs I used. I feel like the site's color scheme was dark gray and yellow/orange, similar to monkeytype.com, but I could be misremembering.

If you are a 2 finger typist and also think people are "obsessing over WPM" because they're wanting to utilize their own tools to the fullest advantage, that sounds like some mental block kind of thing.

If you can type at least 80 consistently then thats probably would I imagine the dividing line is between "flow/concentration not breaking" and "breaks constantly"
