Homerow only option

[backsideofdawn]

I think it would be good if there was an option to only type a certain set of keys. This will be good for learning new layouts as you can practice on certain at a time. You could have an option for only the home row and a customizable option where you can choose the letters you want. It would then find the words with only those letters in them. This sounds like it would be complicated to implement though. I think it would be cool though.

A quick search shows this result in the codebase:

monkeytype/frontend/src/ts/modals/word-filter.ts

Line 64 in 092d513

homeRow: {

If you choose custom in the UI bar above the words to type, you can change the word filter to just be homerow words.

Here is the list of words that contain only homerow keys (qwerty), which you can copy paste into text box for custom. Hint make sure to change the mode to random and to change the limit.

I like the idea and I think that what @acxz suggested is a good way of doing this, but I think it would be nice to have it as a funbox option so I can easily use it for different layouts/languages instead of looking up all the words and then putting it in custom

You can use custom mode > words filter > homerow preset.
