This is a very basic typing tutor for number and symbols on a US keyboard.

I used to have trouble typing number and symbols without visually checking the keyboard. One day I set out to correct that. To my dismay, I was unable to find any typing tutors that tested only number and symbols.

So I built my own.

This tutor forces home-row typing between every number or symbol. The idea is to build the home-row-to-number muscle memory.

Prerequisites:

• ruby installed
• this repository cloned locally and changed to its root directory

Execution:

• bundle install
• ruby run_tutor.rb

This tutor is actually extremely flexible. You can specify custom typing sets by changing the arrays in finger_key_mapping.yml.

• The first character in the array is the "home row key" for that set of characters.
• The remaining characters are all of the other keys for that finger.

Thus the array for your right index finger is: ['j', '6', '^', '7', '&'] "j" is the home row key. The rest of the characters are the other numbers and symbols that your right index finger is expected to type.

Please note that I may have modified the mappings from "standard" mappings for my own comfort. Feel free to change these mappings as you wish.

Feel free to send me feedback via github issues.
