Developers are weird, we flex over random non-technical skills such as typing speed. Use this extension to track your typing speed and keystrokes in Visual Studio Code.
- Counts keystrokes in the editor
- Words Per Minute (WPM) calculation - Tracks words completed by monitoring spaces, tabs, and enters
- Shows both keystroke speed (keys/sec) and WPM in real-time
- Persists keystroke count and word count between sessions
- Shows high scores for both keystroke speed and WPM
- Share high scores with friends in social media
- Configurable session timeout
- Install the extension from the VS Code Marketplace.
- Start typing in any editor window. The extension will automatically count your keystrokes per second and words per minute (WPM).
- Words are counted each time you type a space, tab, or press enter - indicating word completion.
- High scores for both keystroke speed and WPM will be automatically saved! Break your own records!
- Check your high scores with Ctrl Alt S, or by using the Command Palette.
- Share your typing statistics as an image on social media!
typingspeedometer.sessionTimeout: Timeout duration for typing sessions in milliseconds (default: 3000)
