QuickQWERTY 1.2.0

By Susam Pal on 05 Oct 2025

QuickQWERTY 1.2.0 is now available. QuickQWERTY is a web-based touch typing tutor for QWERTY keyboards that runs directly in the web browser.

This release brings small improvements to make the typing tutor smoother and the lessons more accurate. When you return to the application, it no longer needlessly redirects you back to Unit 1.1 if that was the last lesson you practised.

Several lessons have received minor corrections. Units 7.2 and 7.3 no longer include the word "tyre", avoiding a preference for either British or American spelling. Units 9.2 and 9.3 now spell "orwellian" correctly. A factual error in Unit 17.4 has been fixed too. It previously said "89 is one more than 99", which now correctly reads "89 is one more than 88".

Finally, switching between the 5-6 and 6-7 split layouts is now more reliable. In the previous release, pressing Esc to cancel the confirmation dialogue still caused the switch to go through. Now pressing Esc properly cancels the switch as expected.
