Thanks for taking a look! The Visual Dictionary is mostly brand new, so you came in right on time. :-) Don't worry too much about SVN. The KDE Sysadmins are working to phase it out so most applications and their docbooks have moved to git now, but unfortunately I started on the Visual Dictionary about a year ago and it fell by the wayside, so it's still there. :-/ > <listitem><para> > > A <link linkend="visualdict-button">Button</link> to place this window on > all > > desktiops > > </para></listitem> > > desktiops = desktops?

Completion is optional, [1] and may work in slightly different ways (autocomplete or opening the drop down list). Some combo boxes also let you type stuff in that isn't in the list (like an URL bar), and my wording made it seem like it had to be in the list. It also uses the word "combination", which provides a nice little hint as to where the name comes from. ;-) Now it reads: <entry>A combination of a <link linkend="visualdict-drop-down-box">Drop Down Box</link> and a <link linkend="visualdict-text-box">Text Box</link>. You can select an option from the list, or type in the text box. Some combo boxes may automatically complete entries for you, or open the list with a list of choices that match what you have typed.</entry> Thanks, -T.C.
