I think that input prediction, if done well, is a beautiful feature, and one that would fit very well with acme, or maybe as a kind of plumbing. I used to use a unix thing called "rk"; a markov chain style thing that continuously prompted you with a line or two of predicted input. You used the arrow keys or tab or ctrl-m to accept the next char/word/line of the prediction. It was uncannily good. A lot of command line stuff is very repetative, and anyone who's seen Rob's fake usenet postings can see how good this kind of thing is for email. One of these days I'll get around to hacking it into acme, maybe. | > - Unless is it part of a grander plan (no pun intended), can we move | > the process interrupt key from Del to something else and have the | > conventional functionality of del back ?

The pronounciation stem is typed (in kana) and you flip through a list of choices. If it's smart it should remember the kanji-frequencies on a per-user basis. I never knew if the ones I saw ever did. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread
