Stats Dock
The Stats Dock is the graph above the Modeline. It can be resized or collapsed using the drag handle above it. It contains the following main elements:
- PB
The personal best WPM (words per minute) typing speed achieved in the current session.
- Current
The current typing speed in WPM.
- Rectangles
Each rectangle’s height represents the WPM achieved as a proportion of the PB. New rectangles appear on the right; the right-most rectangle represents the current WPM.
- Dashed lines
Dashed lines appear every 50 WPM and are there to help gauge the WPM each rectangle represents. For example, a rectangle whose height matches the first dashed line from the bottom represents 50 WPM.
The Stats Dock updates on every letter typed correctly.
