Ever since doing the initial completion support in #phosh 's osk-stub I wanted to add a generic "unix pipe" like completer. phosh-osk-stub would feed the program preedit on stdin and read the completions from the program's stdout.

That is there now and with that and some more changes I can use @zachdecook 's #swipeGuess to do swipe like typing. To be clear: all the hard work is done by swipeGuess, phosh-osk-stub just piggy backs on it:

#LinuxMobile #gtk #gnome #librem5

@agx @zachdecook does the keyboard have that thing where touch zone sizes for the keys change based on what the next letter is likely to be? or is that patented by apple or something

@gnuntoo If that's an Apple thing, honestly I'd say it's not even worth looking into on the technical aspect alone, because the iOS keyboard is the worst software keyboard I've ever used and sometimes I try to tap a key and it gives the wrong one or shows a preview of the wrong one but gives me the right one and I end up wasting time correcting it because I thought it was wrong. I just want WordFlow 8.1 back.

@DrewNaylor I agree the current iOS keyboard is horrible, but this feature was around since day 1 of the iPhone. I’m not sure it’s to blame for crappy keyboards. I think it’s mostly the bad ML Apple has in it that’s the problem. Autocorrect could be enough on its own though, I don’t know

@gnuntoo It would be even worse if I still had autocorrect on. It could be Apple's algorithm, because I never had this problem with my Windows Phones.
