  • Human like typing speed with randomized delay.
  • Start / Stop buttons in the status bar for control.
  • Customizable typing speed via settings.
  • Restores your file automatically when stopped.

⚙️ Settings

You can tweak typing speed from the VS Code settings UI.

Setting Default Range Description
