Make it act the way you think

Tune how the test reacts while you type — restart shortcuts, error handling, and word-list shape. Live-signal styling moved to Appearance > Live stats; this page is purely about input behaviour.

Restart

The shortcut that takes you back to a fresh passage without a mouse trip.

Input handling

How the test reacts to every keystroke — what counts as an error, when the cursor advances, and whether you can see what you typed. Live-stat styling lives in Appearance > Live stats now.

Stop on errorWon't advance until the typo is corrected
Confidence modeDisable backspace — go faster, accept what you get
Allow extrasRecord characters typed past the word's length as extras (off silently ignores them)
Strict spaceRefuse to advance to the next word until the current word is fully typed correctly
Blind modeHide all live signal — type without seeing what you typed or how fast you're going

Algorithm

Adaptive

How casual runs feed the adaptive engine. Training and race runs always contribute — they're the algorithm's primary signal.

Exclude casual runs from adaptWhen on, casual-mode keystrokes don't update the bigram / trigram / word weakness models. Test results + PBs still record either way.
