Bringing speed-type to gnu-elpa or emacs core for touch support #100
Description
Origin
Description
At the beginning of 2025 there were discussions bringing speed-type to gnu-elpa or emacs core. A consent to bring it to gnu-elpa was certainly there but some doubts bringing it to core (https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2025-02/msg00745.html).
Since then the package changed quite a bit, some new commands, some refactoring to the inner working of speed-type and some new documentation sections.
We already removed the -sort dependency because of that.
Still there are some open issues which would change again quite some code:
- Add focus-mode which displays the currently typed word in fixed overlay #83
- Gameification of speed-type by adding etype-spaceship-shooting #65
The code is currently a bit messy and repetitive.
Discussion
Should we remove third-party Internet services to be more GNU?
What are the concrete code improvements we get if we bring it to gnu-elpa or core?
What would change regarding pushing code and deployment?
