Got the following error when spamming keys very quickly in the typing window:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Repos\speed-typer\speed-typer\type_test.py", line 134, in on_input_text_changed
if self.text[i] == character:
IndexError: string index out of range

Need some way to make windows fullscreen. Also need every window to match i.e. if one is made fullscreen they all should be

When text is too short (not on the common phrases window, as text for that mode is always set to center alignment), the typing window can look weird as the text is left aligned but does not make it the full way across the screen.

Some way of checking whether the text is less wide than the screen and using that to set center alignment might be one way to fix this, or perhaps allowing the qlabel to shrink based on the text size.

Needs improvements, with both small errors (';;' and ' : ') as well as larger problems like not starting and ending with a sentence

In the settings window, unless the theme is changed, there is no feedback letting the user know something has happened after clicking the apply button. This would be nice to have so you can be sure the button click took effect.

Nltk is a huge dependency so if I could work it out of the necessary dependencies to run the program that would be ideal.

One way to work towards this goal is to have the corpora it downloads and processes as static, preprocessed files.

Errors pop up during use of program because font sizes are being set to -1. This originates in the source ui files as designer.exe automatically sets the font sizes to -1 when you set the font in the style sheet for some reason.

Round out the edges of the buttons to make the ui appear nicer and more modern.

Add the choice on the drop down menu in the main window to the saved settings so that on startup the users previous choice can be set as the default rather than always resetting to 'Common Phrases'.

This is mostly to save time and as a QOL feature.

Today's highscore is not being set to 0 for new day.

Need to make light mode more visually appealing colour wise (I am not good with colour palettes)

This may have to come after a pull request for #60 but adding tests and having them automated is the next highest priority for this repo

The list of facts is a bit short and so it could use some more entries.

Restart button should show clearly that it has been triggered and should clear what the user has already typed as well.

When in the typing window, the top of capital letters clip, and the highlight is not centered on the letter but offset on the y axis.

This may be an issue with either padding or line-height.

The title of 'Mode' should change to the corresponding mode.

User data is currently just stored wherever the project is installed which is not correct, I plan to instead use appdirs for storing user data and also perhaps moving all user data to a single file with 1 backup, probably just a json or yaml file.

Add a way to log user statistics and make that information available to the user

Readme needs to have install etc. information updated and have a gif added where the link to the video currently is.

Make it so the same text is impossible/unlikely to come up more than once when choosing text for the user to type out.

Gradient on the background needs changing as currently on bigger screens you can see distinct lines where the gradient changes slightly (i.e. not blended)

Specify in the readme how to downloadthe brown corpus for nltk or find a way to include it in requirements.txt

This is so the 'randomly generated text' option for mode works, asit uses the brown corpus

Buttons cannot be tab focused so shortcuts for going back to main menu, restarting and getting a new text would be very useful.

'Facts' need to be fact checked, and some more added in

python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt failed on mac when trying to install pyqt5 version, saying the version was not found.

Add hover property to buttons to make them feel more responsive and modern.

Plan to add settings to:
- turn on an off a sound to emulate a mechanical keyboard
- switch between light and dark mode
- change font size of text to be typed
- possibly more

Adjust the colours of lightmode, as the current palette does not look ideal.

Remove the need for 2 highscore objects.

Currently type_test.py creates it's own highscore object, which should be unecessary.

The novel excerpts should say what book they come from.

Include accuracy into score calculations so the user is penalised for low accuracy and high wpm scores are only possible when you are actually typing correctly.

The reset buttons on the statistics page just reset values when clicked, but a pop up asking if the user is sure should come up before any values are reset, to prevent accidents.

Add points to the graph so it's clear what days the user had activity.

Currently each screen is a whole different window, whereas they should probably all be widgets on the main window.

This change will require a big refactor but it's how the program should have been laid out in the first place.
