Players suggest that the gameplay could be improved by allowing the use of "ctrl+a" to highlight and correct words, rather than relying solely on backspace for corrections. This change would enhance the realism and efficiency of typing, making the experience more enjoyable for users who type at high speeds. Overall, while the gameplay is functional, there is room for improvement in the correction mechanics.
“I have one suggestion that would improve gameplay: since it's arranged where we read from a paragraph and enter one word at a time, if you could make 'Ctrl+A' available to highlight the word in case we make a mistake, it would enhance the experience. In reality, when writing in messengers, notepad, or web pages, we can hold Ctrl and press backspace to erase entire words. In typing games like Typeracer and 10FastFingers, we are allowed to press 'Ctrl+A' to highlight the entire word and re-type a new one instead of using backspace repeatedly. The only time I would prefer using backspace is if I made a mistake at the end of a word, which makes sense to correct. I type 139 WPM on 10FastFingers (max WPM) and 183 WPM on Typeracer (absolute max).”
“I do, however, have one suggestion that would make gameplay better. Since it's arranged where we read from a paragraph and enter one word at a time when we type, if you could make 'Ctrl+A' available to highlight the word in case we make a mistake, we could just re-type the word instead of having to press backspace 5 or 6 times to correct our mistake. This would be more realistic, as in reality, in messengers, writing in Notepad, or even on web pages, we can hold Ctrl and press backspace to erase entire words. In Typeracer and 10FastFingers, we are allowed to press 'Ctrl+A' to highlight the entire word and re-type a new one instead of using the dreaded and practically useless backspace. The only time I would prefer using backspace is if I have made a mistake at the end of a word, in which case it would make sense to backspace the final 1, 2, or 3 letters instead of highlighting an eight-character word just to re-type all 8 characters. I type 139 WPM on 10FastFingers (max WPM) and 183 WPM on Typeracer (absolute max).”
“Don't get much gameplay out of this, but it's worth it.”
