Keys per minute plugin for pidgin
September 26th, 2009
Some time ago I've created a plugin for pidgin which counts the keystrokes per minute while you are typing a message and displays the value. It also creates a small statistic over it.
Source (Linux & Windows) + Binaries (Windows only): keysperminute.zip
You could use http://pidginplugins.teamblind.de/ to spread it into the world.

Hello and thanks for this plugin, it give some interesting information. Any chance you could make an option to show “words per minute” instead of keys per minute?
Thanks!

I could do that. I’m planning on updating it soon anyway so I could also add the option to show words per minute.

Awesome!
By the way, I’m using it with Pidgin 2.6.3 (Windows 7 x64) and its working flawlessly.
Thanks again,
Tommy

I am having the same problem as Piccolle. It says that I need 2.4.x, and I have 2.6.x. Im using Windows XP, so maybe its just a problem with XP. Too bad, I thought this would be neat. I havnt taken a typing test in a long time, so I was hoping to get an idea of how fast I go anymore.

Hi,
Someone using this for deb-linux? Compiling gets me a lot of errors???

I have the same problem like 8.
Using Linux, no way to compile without errors…

Seems the zip is invalid or corrupted?

Comment withdrawn. Unzips fine now. Three previous attempts failed. Packet loss I despise you! (my connection is shared with the office VOIP).

Hi. How does this work? The unzipped file only contains a smail file with no extension. How can I get it into Pidgin/Windows? I renamed it as a .dll, but that didn’t work.
I appreciate your help.
Thanks.
