           Summary: KDE should have support for predictive text input
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: SuSE RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: janne.ojaniemi at gmail.com


Version:            (using KDE 4.1.1)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

KDE should have support for predictive text input. This method of input is used
by devices like iPhone/ipod touch, internet tablets and phones, where keyboards
are limited. If KDE is to be used in such devices, it should have built-in
pervasive support for this. And not only would this benefit such ultra-mobile
devices. I don't see any reason why this wouldn't support "normal" computers as
well. Especially netbooks, with their cramped keyboards.

I think that the work to support this is already halfway done. KDE already
supports spellchecking, and this is in many ways related to it. The difference
is that whereas spellchecking simply marks the words as mistyped, this system
proactively fixes them, and suggests words even before the user has finished
typing them.
