💖 TYPEFORTUNE(1) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to typefortune — it lives in the FSF corner of the manual-verse and it is literally the cutest way to practice typing. no cap. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

typefortune</purgle> — generate a .typ file and call gtypist to run it 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

typefortune [ Options... ]

that's it. that's the whole vibe. 💅

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

So here's the tea, bestie 🍓: typefortune creates a gtypist lesson-file from fortune, and then it runs gtypist on that file. That's the whole plot. It's giving self-care via typing drills. 🌈

👑 OPTIONS 👑

  • -d — use D: (drill) instead of S: (speed). drill mode era. 🔥
  • -s — run fortune -s 🫶
  • -l — run fortune -l 💜
  • -n <count> — practice <count> fortunes (default=1). yes bestie, you can have more than one. go off. ⭐
  • -o <gtypist_options> — pass options to gtypist 🌸

🧚 EXAMPLE 🧚

Say you wanna practice 3 fortunes and run gtypist as --silent -e 5 --word-processor, then:

typefortune -n 3 -o 'silent e,5 word-processor'

iconic. literally iconic. 💖

💀 DIANOSTICS 💀

(yes the section is spelled like that in the original, we do not fix it, we respect the lore 🙈)

If typefortune quits with this message:

No fortunes found

then you are missing fortune cookies 😭. That's the whole problem. Go get yourself some fortunes, bestie.
