How to target specific keys for practicing and getting better

[Prem Kiran]

Once I am done with all the keys of the english alphabet, how can I go back to working on my weaker keys in which I have a lesser average typing speed

According to the explanation on the site, Keybr will automatically evaluate the weak spots in your typing and will adjust the automated lessons accordingly. 

After learning the alphabet, some of the lessons may seem too easy, and you may earn some very good scores. Enjoy it while it lasts, because some of the lessons will be super hard and you will see errors rise and speed fall or plateau.

I have the same issue. I progressed through the alphabet pretty quickly, but now all the site gives me to practise is q- and j-words, even though I'm much weaker on v- and f-words and slightly weaker on three others.

I have taken about 650 tests on the site and I have found that all of my weak letters are targeted over time. I think I had the same issue with B and a few other words but they all have gotten covered.

@Sean May if it is still targeting the q- and j- words are you all the way through the alphabet? Under the alphabet list is the "Current Key:" field filled with a letter?

[Sean May]

It was on Q and sometimes J, but I've just put in a load of practice and now it says 'No key' and it's a completely random selection of words with no letter focus.

If you practice for a bit you will notice that there are times when the tests that the program gives are really hard. it will give you the keys that you need to work on -- I can vouch for that. it may be very subtle but I have noticed that the letters that I am weak on get targeted.

[Sean May]

Well, I'm only 340 tests in but I'm pretty sure it's all random from here on in - which will, of course, include a few Fs and Vs to raise my levels in those letters. In fact, that's already happened. I messed around with some of the sliders on the settings page while I was doing the course, so I think I accidentally skipped some letters before I'd qualified for graduation to the next level.

If the developer wants to add functionality to the site, they could add settings for revisiting certain letters, just as you can choose to include capitals and punctuation. Still, this is one of the better typing practice sites, and I enjoy using it.

I'm about 720 in and I have noticed that it goes up and down, sometimes it's easy and sometimes I drop 15%, you just need to consider that for less popular letters it may not show them as much.
