Typing Timer
You can’t delete characters while using the Typing Timer. This is so
you can evaluate keyboard mistakes. Pressing

the Typing Timer has no effect. (Note that the final WPM result
doesn’t subtract for errors made while typing.) You can edit the text
you type after turning off the Typing Timer.
