n/n
@phosh Word completion?!?! Awesome!
I've been holding my breath for swipe entry, but that's a huge feature.
@benpocalypse @phosh Glad you like it!
Word completion is around since a some time (initial, experimental support landed in 2022). We "just" added a way to switch completers via UI now as nowadays presage works rather well (after fixing bugs in the osk and completer) but hunspell is still the default.
Swipe input is also possible since some time using swipeGuess , see `man phosh-osk-stub` and e.g. https://fosstodon.org/@badrihippo/113351465661399561
@phosh oh yay, good to know about the background setting! (The least mission-critical, but also the most fun 😉) I didn't know about the fzf-based completer, but combining those sounds cool! Actually, I've been playing with @[email protected]'s swipeGuess, which is surprisingly good at fixing typos too. Oh yeah I've used power button long-press a bit, but I usually need a timeout to set things up 😅 didn't know about gnome-screenshot; I will try that!
