Michael, I agree this is an important issue, and the (in)activity of these various deictics pronouns will need to be customizable, particularly if/when Ubiquity gets localized.
Perhaps one UI direction to consider is to let you escape out of the this-replacement... for example, when you want to execute "twitter this ramen is delicious," at the point where you enter "twitter this," the user will see the "this" being replaced with the selection as a unit in a rounded box, at which point they could hit escape to return it to the literal "this." mitcho On Thu, Jan 22, 2009 at 9:07 AM, Abimanyu Raja <[email protected]>wrote: > One possible solution is to always make "this" substitutions the second or > later suggestion so that people who hit enter without reading the preview > will not be making such errors. > - Abi > > 2009/1/22 Blair McBride <[email protected]> > > >> Sorry, there's no way of turning this off at the moment.
