Right, I the front part of my email can be saved (e.g., "tim"), but then I have to enter @samoff.com to finish it. Same with URLs: I can save the main content of a URL -- usually just a single word (string of words with no spaces) or hyphenated word, but the dictionary will not save, let's say, "http://www.mysite.com"; as a "word" in the dictionary. Of course, the browser history (or bookmarks) usually take care of this for browser navigation, but sometimes (like when commenting on blogs, etc.), I'd love to be able to start my URL in the text entry field and then just click on the auto-complete suggestion down below the keyboard. Saving usernames/passwords for sites/pages works fairly well (aside from the annoying popup that asks if you want to save the info even if you already have -- I should search to see if that bug is in the Tracker). But, anyway, that's not my issue. My issue comes when entering new forms that I haven't yet saved. Adding words works (by tapping), but it seems that some words only get saved within certain applications and then I have to tap again to save it in another application... And then sometimes the words don't "remain saved" -- even though I've tapped to save a words, if I go a few days without using the word, it seems like the word vanishes from the dictionary.

From: Jonathan Greene To: "Tim" CC: "Maemo Users Group" Date: 08/02/2007 7:26 am I can enter atmasphere successfully for auto fill and in web forms but have to actually enter it twice plus the @ to get my email to fill. For web login forms I've been successful with saving for the server vs. the page on most sites. When you enter a new word you need to tap the complete version below the keypad to add it ...

Sorry if these have been asked before, but I have some questions about the functionality of the Maemo dictionary (that I wanted to ask about before posting some new bug reports, etc.): *Why doesn't the dictionary allow us to store email addresses and URLs? (Every time I login to a website or have to create a new account somewhere, or edit my email settings, I have to enter my entire email address... It'd be nice to have it pop up in the suggesgted words.) *Why does the dictionary seem to be application-specific? (I.e., when I click to add a word in one app, it isn't always available in another app until I click to add it there as well.) *Why do words seem to disappear from the dictionary from time to time? (I can't tell you how many times I've had to click to add my son's name -- Josiah -- when typing in Notes or in Opera, etc.) *Is there a way to edit the dictionary? Is there a global and/or a personal dictionary? Thanks!
