| 24 | + |
| 25 | +## Usage |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +Use one of the functions to enter `monkeytype` mode (`monkeytype-region`, `monkeytype-buffer`, etc... see [Commands](#commands--key-bindings) section below). |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +(Note: You should bind these functions to anything you want in your `.emacs`.) |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | +The buffer should look as follows: |
| 32 | + |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | + |
| 35 | +The section inside the red rectangle is Monkeytype's mode-line and the following is the fields breakdown: |
| 36 | + |
| 37 | +**MT[WPM/GWP Accuracy Elapsed-time (words/corrections/errors)]** |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | +Then you can either type all the way to the end or stop/finish (`C-c C-C s` / `monkeytype-stop`). |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | +The buffer should look as follows: |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | + |
| 44 | + |
| 45 | +This Results buffer re-renders the typed text highlighting errors and either correct or incorrect corrections |
| 46 | +(highlighted with a different background and slightly different colour). |
| 47 | + |
| 48 | +At this point you can either practice mistyped words with `monkeytype-mistyped-words` or just troubling/hard transitions with `monkeytype--hard-transition` (`C-c C-c h`). |
| 49 | + |
| 50 | +## Features |
| 51 | + |
| 52 | +- Type any text you want. |
| 53 | +- Practice mistyped words. |
| 54 | +- UI customisation. |
| 55 | +- Mode-line live WPM (`monkeytype-mode-line-interval-update` adjust the update frequency). |
| 56 | +- Visual representation of typed text including errors and retries/corrections. |
| 57 | +- Auto stop after 5 seconds of no input (`C-c C-c r` [ `monkeytype-resume` ] resumes). |
| 58 | +- Optionally randomise practice words/transitions (see: `monkeytype-randomize`). |
| 59 | +- Optionally downcase practice words/transitions (see: `monkeytype-downcase`). |
| 60 | +- Optionally treat newlines as whitespace (see: `monkeytype-treat-newline-as-space`). |
| 61 | +- Optionally auto-fill text to the defaults `fill-column` value (see: `monkeytype-auto-fill`). |
| 62 | +- Select a region of text and treat it as words for practice (e.i., optionally downcased, randomised, etc... see: `monkeytype-region-as-words`). |
| 63 | +- After a test, practice troubling/hard key combinations/transitions (useful when practising with different keyboard layouts). |
| 64 | +- Mistyped words or hard transitions can be saved to `~/.monkeype/{words or transitions}` (see: `monkeytype-directory` `monkeytype-save-mistyped-words` `monkeytype-save-hard-transitions`). |
| 65 | +- Saved mistyped/transitions files (or any file but defaults to `~/.monkeytype/` dir) can be loaded with `monkeytyped-load-words-from-file`. |
| 66 | +- `monkeytype-word-regexp` customises the regexp used for removing characters from words (defaults to: ;:.\`",()-?!). |

| 71 | + |
| 72 | +### Tips |
| 73 | + |
| 74 | +- When using `evil-mode` it's useful to automatically enable `evil-insert` (to start typing right away). |
| 75 | +- When using `evil-escape`, `evil-escape-mode` has to be disabled in order to prevent double keystrokes getting registered. |
| 76 | +- Installing [`centered-cursor-mode`](https://github.com/emacsmirror/centered-cursor-mode) is useful for auto scrolling/paging in multi-page / long texts. |
| 77 | + |
| 78 | +This can then be enabled in your `.emacs` with: |
| 79 | + |
| 80 | +``` emacs-lisp |
| 81 | +(add-hook 'monkeytype-mode-hook |
| 82 | + (lambda () |
| 83 | + (centered-cursor-mode) |
| 84 | + (evil-escape-mode -1) |
| 85 | + (evil-insert -1))) |
| 86 | +``` |
| 87 | + |

| 106 | +## Customisation |
| 107 | + |
| 108 | +Run `M-x customize-group RET` `monkeytype RET` or `monkeytype-faces RET`. |
| 109 | + |
| 110 | +Or set the variables in your `.emacs` file: |
| 111 | + |
| 112 | +``` emacs-lisp |
| 113 | +(setq monkeytype-face-default '(:family "Menlo" :height 1.6 :foreground "#969896")) |
| 114 | +(setq monkeytype-face-correct '(:foreground "#98be65")) |
| 115 | +(setq monkeytype-face-error '(:foreground "#ff6c6b")) |
| 116 | +(setq monkeytype-face-correction-error '(:inherit region :foreground "#ff6c6b")) |
| 117 | +(setq monkeytype-face-correction-correct '(:inherit region :foreground "#98be65")) |
| 118 | +(setq monkeytype-face-header-1 '(:foreground "#B7950B")) |

| 120 | +(setq monkeytype-face-header-3 '(:foreground "#F1C40F")) |
| 121 | +(setq monkeytype-mode-line-interval-update 10) |
| 122 | +(setq monkeytype-treat-newline-as-space t) |
| 123 | +(setq monkeytype-minimum-transitions 50) |
| 124 | +(setq monkeytype-insert-log nil) |
| 125 | +(setq monkeytype-directory "~/.monkeytype") |
| 126 | +(setq monkeytype-randomize t) |
| 127 | +(setq monkeytype-dowcase t) |
| 128 | +(setq monkeytype-word-regexp (concat |
| 129 | + ":\\|" |
| 130 | + ";\\|" |
| 131 | + ",\\|" |
| 132 | + "(\\|" |
| 133 | + ")\\|" |
| 134 | + "?\\|" |
| 135 | + "!\\|" |
| 136 | + " \\|" |
| 137 | + "\"\\|" |
| 138 | + "\n\\|" |
| 139 | + "\`\\|" |
| 140 | + "\\.")) |
| 141 | +``` |
| 142 | + |
| 143 | +## Log |
| 144 | + |
| 145 | +Logging can be enabled for debugging purposes (see `monkeytype-insert-log` customisation). |
| 146 | + |
| 147 | +When enabled it should look as follows: |
| 148 | + |
| 149 | + |
| 150 | + |
| 151 | +## Install |
| 152 | + |
| 153 | +Just drop `monkeytype.el` somewhere in your `load-path` and add it to your `.emacs`: |
| 154 | + |
| 155 | +``` emacs-lisp |
| 156 | +(add-to-list 'load-path "~/emacs.d/vendor") |
| 157 | +(require 'monkeytype) |
| 158 | +``` |
