Typey 1.0.3

A terminal typing test based on the likes of monkeytype.gg and typings.gg, visualized with the blessed library.

Typey

Typey is a minimalistic, terminal-based typing test inspired from the likes of typings.gg and monkeytype.gg.

Typey was created with the intention of improving the efficiency of time-wasting. Busy doing something important and you're using a terminal? Typey. Struggling with the command line because programming is hard? Typey. Staring at your monitor because even though you have a million things you could be doing you don't feel like doing anything at all? Typey.

Getting Started

Typey can be installed from PyPI:

pip install typey

The extremely overpopulated help menu can be accessed with:

typey --h

By default, Typey will start with a 25 word typing test because it's quick and allows you to pad your WPM - I mean be productive. Pressing tab at any time during the test will REDO (REDO REDO REDO); pressing ESC at any point will exit the test and allow you to move on with your life.

Furthermore, there is a themes JSON file that includes a couple of GMK gems such as minimal and hyperfuse; this can be modified to include any number of themes using the colour codes provided by blessed.

For example, GMK Minimal is provided internally by:

"minimal": { "c": "grey_on_white", "i": "black_on_white", "b": "on_white" },

This is equivalent to "typey --at "minimal, grey_on_white, black_on_white, on_white".
