bash_typist

A small collection of Bash scripts for practicing typing and experimenting with simple terminal input handling.

Features

• Interactive typing practice driven by plain text exercises (ex*.txt).
• Small helper scripts: generator.sh to produce exercises, read_key.sh for low-level key reads.

Prerequisites

• A POSIX-compatible shell (bash / sh)
• Make scripts executable: chmod +x *.sh

Usage

1. Make scripts executable: chmod +x bash_typist.sh generator.sh read_key.sh

2. Run the typing practice with a sample exercise file: ./bash_typist.sh ex01.txt

3. Generate a custom exercise (simple usage):

   ./generator.sh > my_ex.txt
   ./bash_typist.sh my_ex.txt

Files:

• bash_typist.sh — main typing practice script
• generator.sh — creates exercise text based on typing error
• read_key.sh — helper to read single keystrokes
• ex01.txt .. ex05.txt — sample exercises
• analyze_err.sh — helper for analyzing errors
