How to add simple number prediction

[ghost]

Here's a word list file that you can import into your dictionary using User Dictionary Manager (UDM).

It contains numbers and the alphabetical shortcut — only 0 to 999.

Example:
123 shortcut: qwe

I thought there was an older version of HeliBoard that would predict numbers without the alphabetical shortcut 🤷🏻‍♂️

This makes it possible for you to tap or gesture numbers without the number row. Obviously tapping works best for this.

This isn't perfect as you cannot import the list with a word ranking (weight) — would be a great thing if you could import a word list with shortcut and word weight/rank. 🤔

However, because the numbers are being imported to the personal dictionary they are given an excessively high ranking/weight, 🤷🏻‍♂️ , and will be predicted highly causing some conflict with words that are spelled only with the top row letters, mostly a problem for gesture typing.

You can counter this conflict by going into the personal dictionary via HeliBoard settings and changing the "weight" for the number to 0, but this isn't perfect either, mainly because there is no way to make a word weight/rank permanent 🤔

Only if there was a way to backup your personal dictionaries with all the attributes and force a permanent word ranking/weight. 🤔

A second issue is, whenever you add punctuation within the numbers ( 123, 567 ) you'll get a space after the punctuation — doesn't matter if you have that particular setting disabled in auto correct section, same on Gboard. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Just showing some flexibility that you can do with the dictionary and why the spell checking should be left alone #613 , because what you force the spell checker to ignore can't be used in text prediction, eg @gmail.com, etc.

Interesting. Thanks for sharing.

Can you provide a screenshot about how it renders and how to spot the shortcut?

I'm not certain what you mean exactly. Here's a couple screenshots and the word list has the shortcuts, it's just a text file.

Thanks it's clearer now.
