> > a) The question is not about turning prediction off, but _providing_ a
way to turn it off and on. Because I don't think it will be possible to
use those "hints on the input", because even under normal circumstances
(like in an SMS) where English-speaking people would like the predictive
input you will sometimes type names of people/places
>
> This is exactly what I want. Apologies if it wasn't clear before, but I
want the standard 2008.8 keyboard, in predictive mode, but with a button
to toggle that mode on and off. On my SonyEricsson I can hold down the *
key and it gives me the same keyboard, but with the predictive mode
toggled off.

> To be honest, this would be the simplest the keyboard could be whilst
still operating in a useful manner. A more advanced (although I can't
imagine difficult) solution would be to automatically turn off the
predictive keyboard when entering a web address, password, config setting,
etc.
Well, we are extremely limited on hardware keys (we only have two) and
also limited on screen real estate. In the Opie/Qtopia world we have a way
to switch between keyboards since 2000, the X11 world does not offer
anything like that and it takes time to even get basics like keyboard
switching done... Anyway I can provide keyboards and #1764 needs
addressing to select them.
