Sure, the "Custom words" screen could temporarily have its parent item below the current "Spell checking" switch.
I agree with the idea of having a global custom dictionary. Multilingual people code-switch between sentences or even in the middle of a sentence. The spell-checker might be able to tell which language you're using currently if you're using all standard words -- but if you're introducing a custom word, maybe you just switched to another language, or maybe you didn't, so the word would end up in the wrong custom dictionary too often. And a single custom dictionary also makes for a much simpler UI. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to ubuntu-keyboard in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1318812 Title: [osk] no way to remove user added dictionary words Status in Ubuntu Keyboard: Confirmed Status in Ubuntu UX bugs: Confirmed Status in “ubuntu-keyboard” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “ubuntu-system-settings” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: when spell checking is enabled, any word the user types that is not recognized gets added to the user dictionary (I think). The problem is once a word gets added there is no way to delete it and it always shows up on the word ribbon, whether you want it or not. We should be more selective when adding words (i.e. if you type asdafadfadsfadsfadsfadsf that gets added). We can address that in another bug. For this bug, I think we need to provide the user with a way to remove words they added to the dictionary. One idea: press and hold the word on the word ribbon would produce an "x" button which when pressed would remove the word from the dictionary. This would be consistent with how users close apps, delete bookmarks, etc. To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-keyboard/+bug/1318812/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
