Not that I know of.

This would be welcome. The manual has some information, and there is
vim/emacs support stuff.

However, note that the GTypist 2.10 release has been stopped for years
due to licensing problems (GPL-2 vs GPL-3) with the ktouch lessons.

We might decide to just remove them, or reimport them (from the ktouch
.xml).

If you want to help, please raise your hand :)

Cheers and Best Regards,
Felix
