SYNOPSIS

typer [*file*]

DESCRIPTION

typer is a minimal typing-test TUI written in Go by maaslalani. It shows words to type, tracks WPM/accuracy, and runs entirely in the terminal. Install with go install github.com/maaslalani/typer@latest.Not to be confused with the Python typer library for building CLIs.

PARAMETERS

*file*

Optional path whose contents are used as the text to type.
stdin may also supply text. Interactive keys are shown in the UI.

INSTALL

sudo apk add erlang27
sudo zypper install erlang27
nix profile install nixpkgs#typer

CAVEATS

Name collision with Python's Typer package—ensure the Go binary is first on PATH if both are installed.
