Would be great if this cli could be installed using brew on macos.

I have some repos that could give you a clue

btw, I am releasing my app using goreleaaser

This is on OSX 10.15.7 with go version go1.16.5 darwin/amd64 installed via brew. It doesn't look like the OSX version of install has a -D option, so maybe this could be done with mkdir -p instead?

It would be nice to be able to repeat the exact same (sub-)test to work on accuracy, strive for a better WPM, etc.

I know that Esc "restarts the test" but in the case of random words, it generates a totally new set of words than what you were previously typing and in the case of fed-in text, it puts you back at the very first paragraph, regardless of what paragraph you were on when you pressed Esc.

In this regard, I like wpm's navigation: space and arrows to move through (sub-)tests and esc to restart.

Description

I suggest adding the ability to handle multiple lines of text as input in "tt." Currently, only individual words and sentences are accepted for typing practice.

Benefits

This enhancement will allow users to practice typing larger blocks of text, such as code snippets, paragraphs, or multiline quotes, making "tt" more versatile and useful for various users.

Implementation

The program should accept multiline input from command-line arguments, files, and STDIN, considering each paragraph as a distinct segment in the typing test.

Example

Poem Title: Dreams

Hold fast to dreams
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly.

Hold fast to dreams
For when dreams go
Life is a barren field
Frozen with snow.

it great , thanks u for this

I use tt as a replacement for Monkeytype, which was my previous type tester, and I miss the variety and amount of quotes from there, so I think it would be great if someone could make a quote list for tt from Monkeytype.

Monkeytype Github: https://github.com/monkeytypegame/monkeytype

Thank you. :)

It would be nice to allow for user to set a font size. Especially since current size is quite small for me.

I know that there is the default terminal font size changer but it would be nice if there was a custom option within the command to change font-size

Hello, I am on Windows, and I first built "tt" from the source. When I tried running it, I received the following error:
ERROR: 1000en does not appear to be a valid word list. See '-list words' for a list of built-in word lists.

I attempted to use -list words, and it displayed all the built-in words, including 1000en.

Next, I tried downloading "tt" from GitHub releases, but unfortunately, I encountered the same issue.
I am not entirely sure if I am missing something, and I would appreciate any assistance.

Thank you for the application.

Please can you try to make a docker install of the program, that would be very good

I can't see the screen when I enter the words more than 700

tt gives this error saying there should be an "en" file in the home directory. Everything worked when first installed then without any reason this error started appearing. I uninstalled tt then reinstalled and still the same error. I think the issue is tt looking for the words/quotes list in the wrong directory.

Pressing option-backspace or control-backspace only deletes one character on macos as if no modifier was pressed. Only control-w works as it does in terminal in general.

macos 12.6.5, both in iTerm2 and Terminal.app

Thanks for the windows build! I see that the initialization is trying to figure out my home directory on windows using HOME but that variable does not exist on windows.

Results in an ERROR: Could not resolve home directory..

USERPROFILE could be used instead.

I get that there are a lot of fancy themes, but is there a way just to use my terminal colors?

Hey there,
I noticed that the accuracy is calculated based of the amount on wrong characters when you finish typing the line - The problem with this is, that you always get an accuracy Value of 100% if you correct your mistakes - Is that intended?
Thanks!

whenever im running the tt command,
its creating a test.log file in that location

it will better if there is a permanent location for test.log file like ~/.tt/test.log

This can mimic real typing (e.g looking at a paper and typing the words on it, without looking at the typing box on the monitor).
In this kind of typing, it is ourselves to realize if we type the wrong key-press, but not the instant red indicator shown on the computer screen.
I think this is an very important kind of training. Thanks.

When running pip install tt, I get the following error:

Have some build with go1.19 for 0.4.2 release, but the master builds out fine with go1.19. Thanks!

Thank you for this wonderful tool. I was wondering if we might request the feature of adding random common punctuation to word lists, e.g. tt -n 10. So things like periods, commas, semi-colons, etc.

I'd to practice typing code as well. Not sure how easy this would be to add though...

tt.1.gz is not present in https://github.com/lemnos/tt/releases/tag/v0.4.1.
Also, tt and tt-linux are the same file.

Now the information shown in the report is very limited, only WPM, CPM, accuracy, mistakes and attribution in -quotes.
I have some text files having paragraphs exceeded thousand characters, which takes a lot of time to complete the test.
I would like to know the duration that I performed the test, but I do not want to manually count the words in the previous paragraph and do the math ( word count / WPM), or start a counter when I start a test.

quotes like the following show up:

                WPM:         50                                             
                CPM:         252                                            
                Accuracy:    97.65%                                         
                Mistakes:    effort�not, intelligence�is

They have some symbols that I find annoying because they mark some errors on my runs.
I tried to check the quotes file, but the text editor warned me not to edit it because it contained unknown symbols, probably related to them. Some quotes also have missing spaces after punctuation and are most annoyingly repeated on the file, appearing more commonly; if you could fix that file, it would be appreciated.

Remove the brace expansion in the Makefile. Not all shells support it
