KTouch in KDE Apps 19.08.0

KTouch, an application to learn and practice touch typing, has received a considerable update with today's release of KDE Apps 19.8.0. It includes a complete redesign for the home screen I have done, which is responsible to select the typing lesson to train on.

The new home screen of KTouch

There is now a new sidebar offering all the courses KTouch has for a total of 34 different keyboard layouts. In previous versions, KTouch presented only the courses matching the current keyboard layout. Now it is much more obvious how to train on different keyboard layouts than the current one.

Other improvements in this release include:

  • Tab focus works now as expected throughout the application and allows training without reaching for the mouse ever.
  • Access to training statistics for individual lessons from the home screen has been added.
  • KTouch supports now rendering on HiDPI screens.

KTouch 19.08.0 is available on Flathub, on the Snap Store, and is coming to your Linux distribution.
