exiting a quote halfway through
Von awesome7 - aktualisiert: 5 Jahre, 3 Monate vor - 9 messages
Sometimes while I'm in the middle of typing a test quote, things go terribly wrong, or somebody near by "needs" to talk to me. Can I bail out on a quote, and not have it negatively affect my average speed?
Thanks for sharing this info @asioxcore. I tested out "Control+R" on Windows and you're absolutely correct - it works - it stops the test without immediately starting a new test as is the case when you hit the escape key. This is a great tip for being who get interrupted by others when taking typing tests (so, basically all parents...)

I believe you can bail by hitting the escape key without it affecting your stats

If you need to exit the quote and want to start a new one immediately, you can press 'esc' on your keyboard. If someone starts talking to you and you need to exit the quote without starting a new one you can press "Command+R" (for Mac) or "Control+R" (For Windows, I think).

You're welcome @weesin. Awesome! Thank you for confirming the Windows combo. Once you press 'Control+R', you can also press 'esc' to start a new test. In addition, 'Control+R' is basically just a refresh function for browsers, so you can refresh any website page using that combination.

My maximizing-type brain would recommend using F5 on Windows, it has the same function as CTRL-R in one key rather than two.

I am hereby confirming that F5 on Windows works just fine! Thanks for sharing this tip

I wish I knew this earlier, but now I know. Thank you weesin for confirming "Control+R" on Windows. I'm not a parent/mother, but I still get interrupted or easily distracted. I also appreciate the confirm on the F5 tip, too! It will be faster to perform.

Thanks so much for the "Command R" suggestion. That works perfectly with my Windows software.

It's strange, my f5 takes me to a file search window. It must be a different keyboard layout than yours.
