Program that allows training wpm from the comfort of a terminal.
Project is in very early stages. The basic functionality is there, but there are many missing features and rough edges.
Works fine on linux and propably on mac. Works ok on windows too, but the cursor might be buggy sometimes.

Smokey ships with a sizeable english word list (~60_000 words) which on linux can be found in
~/.local/smokey/storage/words
Other lists can be added to the folder. Smokey expects a list sorted by word frequency with each word separated by newline character. Other languages are not provided but most of the time can be easily DIYed. For example for polish, one could use Otwarty słownik frekwencyjny leksemów. It needs to be converted to text, perhaps by unix pdftotext utility, and then sorted and cleaned by a short script.
The list contains around 60 000 words. It is derived from 1/3 million most frequent English words compiled by Peter Norvig. I filtred it using python bindings of Enchant and checked against the MauriceButler/badwords and LDNOOBW. I kept "sex" though. Otherwise it wouldn't be fair to plants who just cross-pollinate without causing too much of a ruckus.
