            Bug ID: 406473
           Summary: Accuracy score does not account for character omission
           Product: ktouch
           Version: 18.12.2
          Platform: Archlinux Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: sebastian.gottfr...@posteo.de
          Reporter: k...@chrisittner.de
  Target Milestone: ---

If I accidentally *mistype* one character followed by five correct characters
(before noticing the typo), this counts as one single typo on my accuracy
score. 
If I accidentally *omit* one character followed by five correct characters,
this counts as six typos on my accuracy score.

As a result, omitting a character (and noticing it late) results in a large
drop in accuracy. This is not very intuitive.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Start any ktouch lesson.
2. omit one character, type a few more.
3. observe how your accuracy score plummets.

OBSERVED RESULT
The accuracy score penalizes omitted characters much harsher than misspellings,
in case one doesn't notice immediately.

EXPECTED RESULT
Omitting a character and typing a wrong character should result in a similar
penalty. 
A natural behavior would be: If a character is omitted, the following
characters should be highlighted as errors (underlined in red), but only the
first incorrect character should count against the accuracy score.
