User Dictionary and Custom Auto Text Do Not Mix Well

Post by nCubed »

Phone: G2x (LG-P999)
Android: v2.2.2
Smart Keyboard Pro: v4.3
  1. add a word to the User Dictionary: bbsig
  2. add the same word to the Custom AutoText: bbsig -> My Signature Block
When typing, the 'bbsig' will display as a recognized word in the word suggestions box. However, when selected, it will not expand to the word as defined in Custom AutoText: "My Signature Block"; rather, it will remain as "bbsig".

I typically use portrait mode with the XT9 keyboard. In order to use custom auto text, the word has to be a recognized word with the XT9 keyboard. Otherwise, the word will default to whatever is being recognized in the word suggestions box. This makes it difficult to use the Custom AutoText.

Perhaps words that are defined in the Custom AutoText could be added to the word suggestions box? Or provide an option to always expand words in the User Dictionary to the corresponding Custom AutoText (if one is mapped).

Thanks!
