Remove words from dictionairy

Post by thenymf »

I would like to see a feature that makes it possible to remove words from the language dictionary, not the user dictionary!

E.g.
i will never use the word "youth". Instead i want to use the word (made up and inserted into user dictionary by me) "youtg".

On a QWERTY keyboard, the 'g' and 'h' are close, so when i miss tap a bit, the word 'youth' will be selected (ofcourse, who wants to use 'youtg' ? :roll: ) however, on long pressing the word 'youth', the word will be deleted from the dictionary and this problem will never repeat itself.

I've seen this feature in other keyboards (swiftkey x for example) so i know its handy and possible.

Also, as another feature request, something i've seen in the 'gingerbread keyboard app': a function that when you slide the 'spacebar' up, the navigational arrows would appear. This is handy for users without hardkeys (like me, HTC Desire HD) and quicker then going to 123 and then <> modus :mrgreen:


btw, still best keyboard app on the market guys!

Totally agree on this one. Love Smart Keyboard Pro since it's the only keyboard I've tried that can manage multitouch when typing really fast without missing letters, but the Swedish dictionary is very incomplete and contains a lot of meaningless abbrevations, such as "SP" which I've got no clue what it is, but I manage to type that 9 times out of 10 when I try to type "så" which means "so", a very common word.

Press and hold to delete words would be very nice, or if there's a possibility och lowering the words' priority when correcting? If that's hard to do, deleting words would be nice.

At the moment you can do this by using custom autotext, for example "sp" -> "så"

This would be awesome.

The reason that I got started worlking on a new Danish dictionary (which is going slowly...) was that the original had all these wrong words in it, not that it lacked something.
And thank you Cyril for the best Android keyboard!

+1 because many of the suggested words (in English dictionary anyway) are pretty bogus in regards to probability of using those words, which don't seem to have any priority at all.
