Features

KTouch is user customizable. The user can set how well they must do in order to advance to the next lesson, add new layouts and languages, and change the lessons with the built-in editor. There is also a statistics page which contains a histogram of the user's typing speed. The statistics page also keeps track of how well the user does on individual keys so they know which keys they need to practice.

Although KTouch was designed for the KDE SC, it still works in other window managers such as GNOME.

  • Ships with dozens of courses spanning many different languages and keyboard layouts

gollark: > Rust has llvm, which is kinda worse than an own asm because it's not even original and not even real asmIt's *better*, since it's actually used in other things and they did not make up their own for some bizarre reason.
gollark: Hmm, yes, apparently Linux has a monotonic clock thing available.
gollark: Possibly an OS thing.
gollark: Go has its own *assembly language* because of course.
gollark: When someone asked for monotonic time to be exposed properly, GUESS WHAT, they decided to "fix" the whole thing in the most Go way possible by "transparently" adding monotonic time to the existing time handling, in some bizarre convoluted way which was a breaking change for lots of code and which limited the range time structs could represent rather a lot.
