Teach most frequent letter arrangments #9

Open timini opened 10 years ago

timini commented 10 years ago

This fork uses bigram letter frequencies to train the learner on letter patterns that occur more frequently in the English language. The strings it generates for the learner look more like real english words because they have the same frequencies as in real words.

I believe this will teach rapid motor movements that are common in the english language, like typing 'er' or 'th'. This should help the typer achieve higher typing speeds.

This is awesome!

Is there any way we can make this an option, default on? The reason I wanted it to be completely random before is that I wanted a tool that would train me to hit keys in any order. I'd like to keep that functionality but make this the default.

Timini, I've added you as a contributor. Think you can make this optional (default on) and then pull it whenever you're satisfied?

Will let you know when it's done
