Word filter presets

^{Originally posted by waqaspathan00 October 2, 2022} To better practice dedicated left/ right hand typing, create a mode that only generates words that can solely typed by the specified hand.

For example, if the user chooses left, then generate words with the following characters only: qwertasdfgzxcvb

And if right, then: yuiophjklnm

Where are the functions written? For example, for the "set" button on the Words Filter window, where is the logical code that runs when that is clicked?

I would certainly use this, as my right hand is far weaker than my left.

If this is implemented I hope that it will cater for all the alternative keyboard layouts such as Workman, Norman, Dvorak, etc.

Thanks.

Hey, I was working on it initially then school work ramped up. I graduate in 2 weeks and will be able to dedicate more time

I'm thinking about adding a weight parameter for a given hand. Instead of having to only type words with a single hand, we would have to set a weight parameter thaht would tell how much we would use the same hand for a given word. Say we have a weight of 0.9 for left hand, we would use 90% of the left hand and 10% of the right hand for a given word. I think it would be better than a plain "only this hand" practice mode because it's not really realistic, using only a few (probably uncommon) words and would greatly improve the possiblities of training. Hoping you graduation went well @waqaspathan00 :)
