Keep a list of most mistyped words / letters

[Arithmetics]

track which words i mistype the most and maybe the word behind it. create a special typing test made of these words so i can practice

Interesing idea! I will keep this in mind for the future.

To expand upon this, not only could we have a list of all the most incorrectly typed words, a list of all the words that you type the slowest would also be very useful. Unsure of the feasibility of this though.

FYI I'm thinking about a general list, not a list specific to only the currently done test.

Each char and each word (up to like the top 1000?) could have associated with it a miss rate and an avg time-to-type (in ms).

chars = {'a':{'miss-rate':0.04, 'avg-time':60},...}
words = {'the':{'miss-rate':0.11, 'avg-time':180},...}

These dicts could then be plotted somewhere on the user's profile.
Two new funboxes for practicing these commonly missed chars and words could then be added.

It'd be nice if this took into account things you missed in other funboxes such as ascii. That would be my primary use of it - practicing my most missed chars in ascii.

Disappointing that this is files as Low Priority, as I think it would be a very effective way of improving my speed and accuracy from using MT. As it is, I feel MT is better at benchmarking speed and accuracy rather than the best way to improve it.

@eggbean @Arithmetics I'm interested in this too.
As it's an open source project, there is nothing stoping you or I raising a PR and adding the feature - other than Miodec approving it.
Share your thoughts with me on what the minimal viable functionality for this feature would be.

I like the idea of a list of mistyped words. Cap it at a reasonable amount and make it ordered, so new words being added pop older words you might no longer be mistaking off the list.
Mistyped words contain the mistyped characters, so your getting char and words in one - although you wouldn't have stats on worst character or anything like that.
If the list was ordered, and pulled more from the front, you'd be seeing more of the mistakes you've made recently.

Another thought would be giving mistyped words a score, +10 points when it's first added to the list, +3 points if it's already on the list, -1 point each time you type it with no mistakes. If the score reaches 0, it's removed from the list.

Let me know your thoughts and I'll look at it this weekend or next.

@RebonackAl I think what I had in mind is pretty much exactly what you describe. Sounds great, but I would imagine not easy to implement if MT is not already logging mistyped words.

Would be nice to see the progress (in speed and mistakes) in mistyped words (and letters) over time as well.

When it come to letters, I generally struggle with letter combinations such as "exq". Would be nice for the system to pick up on word combinations that cause the typo (i.e. the preceding 1 or 2 characters before the typo and look for other words in the dictionary with similar characters. And then build a test out of such words.)
