i like the word prediction alot, but i think it would be nice if words would be grouped. something like this:

i type in "som", predictions are: "som, some, something, dom, don, sometimes, sim, someone, ain, soon, dim, aim, somebody, dont, somehow"

i suppose this list is sorted by probability. what would be nice is if the words would be grouped like the following:

som:

• some
• something
• sometimes
• sim
• someone
• soon
• somebody
• somehow

dom

• don
• dim
• dont

ain

• aim

the words in the groups would be accessible via a popup like when switching languages. pro: dont need to scroll all the way to the right to get to somehow... con: wouldnt see those predictions until you long-touched one of the group headers... :/

but most of the time when i dont see the word right ahead in the prediction bar, i end up typing the whole word. this is especialy true for german where the prefixes (ge- ver- un- etc.) mess up the predictions. the endings also mess it up, but thats mostly because it would be probably more difficult to get the word prediction to know what root the word has..

Most of the time when i dont see the word right ahead in the prediction bar, I end up typing the whole word. Which kinda makes the word prediction a waste of vertical space rather than a helpful feature at the moment. This is also true for german though a whole different story, where the prefixes (ge- ver- un- etc.) and suffixes (-ung, -end -bar etc.) mess up the predictions. The endings also mess it up, but thats mostly because it would be probably more difficult to get the word prediction to know what root the word has..But subpar word prediction in non-english langs is to be expected i guess.
