Re: [bug-gtypist] A Bug in gtypist?? (fwd)

Hi Tobias,

Glad you got it working! What was it in the end (just out of curiosity)?

Also, you can run gtypist with the argument --scoring=cpm to use CPM
instead of WPM. There isn't an option for characters per *second*, but
you could always divide the CPM result by 60. Would CPS be a useful
option for us to add in the future?

All the best,

Tim.
