Smart Keyboard Forum

First it would be nice to have an editable stock dictionary, but maybe that's an Android no-no.

Anyway, I have a few suggestions on the Spanish dictionary...

First, all word suggestions seem to vanish when placing a ¿ or ¡ before a word. ¿Qué haces? is a proper way to ask a question, and the leading two punctuation characters disable this function. The auto-capitalize should work in this case, too.

Second, many of the stock words in the ES dictionary don't have the accents, and they should. que and qué are both valid, but only que shows as a valid suggestion. The same is true for como (cómo), quien (quién), tu (tú) and similar words.

Third, the default when using a T9 keyboard layout and I press the 9 (for WXYZ) should yield a Y (for the word AND) instead of W. That's equivalent substitution when wanting the use the English word 'I'

I agree with JoeC, specially regarding the word suggestions vanishment.

Thanks to the Smart Dictionary, the stock words of the Spanish dictionary is less important, though he is right it could be improved (it's weird that there are words without the correct accents).

Regarding this thread on long-press I would add that getting the beginning "¿" and "¡" symbols is difficult (switch to numeric keyboard, then Alt and finally the character). I would put those as long press alternatives for the "m" and "z" letters (qwerty keyboard), so choosing the beginning or ending question mark is easier (and the Spanish actually uses both). Of course, I would keep the default selection ("?" for m and "!" for z) in case no alternative is selected.

Yes, with the new suggestion popup, everything is possible now
