just use the Terminal layout then. as such the dictionary lookup ALWAYS gives
you exactly what you typed too as an option (even if you didn't hold and press
to drag and select in zoom mode). it may not be listed as the most likely thing
- so press the dict button, but it will LEARN so after you have entered the
things you do use once - they will turn up.
