Feature Request: Funbox Mode to Restart Current Word on First Typing Error

[amalrkc]

Description

I would like to propose a new Funbox mode that restarts the current word whenever a typing error occurs.

Proposed Behavior

When the user types an incorrect character:

1. The current word is cleared.
2. The cursor returns to the beginning of that word.
3. The user must retype the entire word correctly before proceeding.

Example:

Target word:

monkey

User input:

monkry

As soon as r is typed instead of e, the current word is reset and the cursor returns to the beginning of monkey.

The user must then type:

monkey

from the start.

Motivation

The goal is to reinforce complete word patterns and muscle memory rather than simply correcting individual characters.

Existing options such as "Stop on Error: Letter" and "Stop on Error: Word" are useful for accuracy training, but they still allow the user to continue from the point of failure after correcting the mistake.

This proposed mode would provide a stricter form of deliberate practice by requiring the entire word to be typed correctly in one uninterrupted sequence.

Potential use cases:

• Accuracy-focused training
• Building stronger word-level muscle memory
• Reducing reliance on mid-word corrections
• Practicing commonly mistyped words

Why a Funbox?

This behavior is likely too specialized for a default setting, but it seems well suited to a Funbox since it significantly changes the typing experience and would primarily appeal to users specifically interested in accuracy training.

Optional Variations

• Restart on the first error only
• Configurable behavior for punctuation and numbers
• Statistics showing how many word restarts occurred during a test

Thank you for considering the idea.
