I have a lot of special characters memorized (ALT-[key] for windows and long presses for Android) but why is it so needlessly difficult to Google each one individually? Surely someone, somewhere must have compiled a good table of all of them. It would sure come in handy.
Oh really? This might indicate some issue with your system, as Charmap is a tiny utility loading a small font file. Good to hear you have a workaround, though.
We uploaded Moonbear Typing to itch instead of GGJ in protest over their AI sponsorship, and made our game with hand-tweaked, ethical, proc-gen content.
I say this reasonably often but: please read, and support, LWN! this kind of useful finger on the pulse of various OSS communities, projects, etc is so valuable and really something of a bygone era. If you deploy to, or develop on, Linux platforms, guaranteed you'll find useful articles on the weekly.
@mdione@LWN I do sometimes post the sub/gift link, but yea - probably best to keep those closer to the chest and hand them out to individuals only 🤔 curious what LWN preference is!
Probably the longest shot ever, but in the 2000s when I was learning to #TouchType, I used a piece of software called Azabat. I'm not sure which version it was, but the specific installation I had used SAPI 4 Microsoft Mary. After completing a typing lesson, it would say: 'Well done, exercise completed. Returning to exercise menu'. It had menu options like 'Echo mode' and 'Introduction' to new keys'. Has anyone heard of or used this software, this version specifically, and is there an archive of it available anywhere? #blind#typing#Azabat#TouchTyping
I've been trying to improve my #typing speed, mostly accuracy, in the last few months and what's really killing me is my inability to spell correctly. I've always been bad at spelling, and not cared much about it - but maybe now I've got more motivation to start caring. How many i's in definititily again?
Why are words like ADHD or neurodivergent being flagged with red wavy lines when I type them, but not the word autism? Why aren't these words registered in the database yet? This is unacceptable...
From what I know of AI models you'd likely need to train it specifically on the keyboard and microphone brands used. The bad news is that many streamers often openly share this information about which PC gear they use in their profiles.
This one is about the different types of errors you're going to encounter writing #Python stuff, and strategies to recognize their categories and make them less impactful.
Love the fact that my new keyboard makes me aware of my typing speed. Apparently on long tests where I have the time to get going my typing speed is 147 WPM. This assumes im not putting in any effort to max out my typing speed, however even if i do i doubt id get it too much higher.
@SteelFolk I suspect most people would be slower transcribing than they would be tying off the cuff.... That said I have always been an exceptional fast typist.
