Add speed type training for the most common words #12

Closed dakra closed 5 years ago

Download a list of the top 10000 most common English words from https://raw.githubusercontent.com/first20hours/google-10000-english/master/google-10000-english.txt And add commands to train them with speed-type.

@parkouss I pushed an updated version. Separates the --receive function and also supports wordlists for different languages. There could be stuff improved but I think this is good enough for now.

I didn't test thoroughly, so please check too and merge if you're happy with it.

@parkouss bump :)

parkouss commented 5 years ago

Yup, sorry! And thanks for the bump :) Looking into this right now.

parkouss commented 5 years ago

Really great, thanks.

This makes me think that it would be nice to be able to set every most common word in lower case before starting as an option. And that it would be nice to use the languages you added to download different books (in correct languages). I'll create two issues for that - if you want to tackle one or them or both, feel free to! Same if you have other ideas.

Thanks.

The first wordlist I used was actually just lowercase but I like to press shift sometimes. All lowercase doesn't feel right ;) If you want it "right now" you can always manually edit the wordlist txt file of course.

And that it would be nice to use the languages you added to download different books (in correct languages).

I don't really do the gutenberg books but it seems the biggest problem would be to get the list of books in different languages.
