Additional languages can be added by creating a file in TTYPER_CONFIG_DIR/language with a word on each line. On Linux, the config directory is $HOME/.config/ttyper; on Windows, it's C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\ttyper; and on macOS it's $HOME/Library/Application Support/ttyper.

config

Configuration is specified by the config.toml file in the config directory (e.g. $HOME/.config/ttyper/config.toml).

The default values with explanations are below:

# the language used when one is not manually specified
default_language = "english200"

[theme]
# default style (this includes empty cells)
default = "none"

# title text styling
title = "white;bold"

## test styles ##

# input box border
input_border = "cyan"
# prompt box border
prompt_border = "green"

# correctly typed words
prompt_correct = "green"
# incorrectly typed words
prompt_incorrect = "red"
# untyped words
prompt_untyped = "gray"

# correctly typed letters in current word
prompt_current_correct = "green;bold"
# incorrectly typed letters in current word
prompt_current_incorrect = "red;bold"
# untyped letters in current word
prompt_current_untyped = "blue;bold"

# cursor character
prompt_cursor = "none;underlined"

## results styles ##

# overview text
results_overview = "cyan;bold"
# overview border
results_overview_border = "cyan"

# worst keys text
results_worst_keys = "cyan;bold"
# worst keys border
results_worst_keys_border = "cyan"

# results chart default (includes plotted data)
results_chart = "cyan"
# results chart x-axis label
results_chart_x = "cyan"
# results chart y-axis label
results_chart_y = "gray;italic"

# restart/quit prompt in results ui
results_restart_prompt = "gray;italic"

style format

The configuration uses a custom style format which can specify most ANSI escape styling codes, encoded as a string.

Styles begin with the color specification, which can be a single color (the foreground), or two colors seperated by a colon (the foreground and background). Colors can be one of sixteen specified by your terminal, a 24-bit hex color code, none, or reset.

After the colors, you can optionally specify modifiers seperated by a semicolon. A list of modifiers is below:

  • bold
  • crossed_out
  • dim
  • hidden
  • italic
  • rapid_blink
  • slow_blink
  • reversed
  • underlined

Some examples:

  • blue:white;italic specifies italic blue text on a white background.
  • none;italic;bold;underlined specifies underlined, italicized, and bolded text with no set color or background.
  • 00ff00:000000 specifies text of color #00ff00 (pure green) on a background of #000000 (pure black).

In extended Backus-Naur form:

style     = colors, { ";", modifier }, [ ";" ] ;

colors    = color, [ ":", color ] ;
color     = "none"
          | "reset"
          | "black"
          | "white"
          | "red"
          | "green"
          | "yellow"
          | "blue"
          | "magenta"
          | "cyan"
          | "gray"
          | "darkgray"
          | "lightred"
          | "lightgreen"
          | "lightyellow"
          | "lightblue"
          | "lightmagenta"
          | "lightcyan"
          | 6 * hex digit ;
hex digit = ? hexadecimal digit; 1-9, a-z, and A-Z ? ;

modifier  = "bold"
          | "crossed_out"
          | "dim"
          | "hidden"
          | "italic"
          | "rapid_blink"
          | "slow_blink"
          | "reversed"
          | "underlined" ;

If you're familiar with serde, you can also read the deserialization code.
