The on-screen keyboard is not highlighting the next key, what do I do?

The on-screen keyboard highlights the next key to press during a lesson. If it is not lighting up, first reload the lesson page, then confirm the typing area is focused by clicking on it. Most cases are fixed by a reload or by updating to a current browser version.

Quick fixes

  • Reload the lesson so the keyboard re-initializes.
  • Click inside the typing area to give it focus, since highlighting only follows an active lesson.
  • Update your browser to the latest version.

How the keyboard should behave

During a lesson the next key glows and a hand guide shows which finger to use. If you want a refresher on what the visualizer does, see the on-screen keyboard guide.

If it is still not working

Try a different supported browser. If typing also feels delayed, read typing feels slow or laggy.
