[Feature Request] Hotkey to restart a test

[xiaochuanyu]

It would be nice if we can have a hotkey to restart a test (as opposed to just next test).

This is valuable for me in terms of being able to quickly repeat a test to practice after seeing the stats without having to reach for the mouse (or doing tab tab enter & disabling quick restart). I'm aware this has been asked before but I'd like re-open discussion on this. Previous threads I found:

• Quick Repeat of Failed Tests #5870 (reply in thread)
• Keybind for repeat same test button  #363

Maybe a way this could work is if we add a new "quick repeat test" setting somewhat similar to "quick restart" & required to use a different key between the two settings?

Im not really sure what key we could have for this.

[xiaochuanyu]

Is something like just r key for quick repeat feasible?

Then you will run into issues where if the test ends just before you are about to press 'r', you will repeat the test without wanting to.

This would be great!

I don't really think this is a good idea, if you were to keep pressing it right before the test ends, muscle memory would start to kick in, and you wouldn't be learning to type faster, just to inflate your wpm.
