--- Comment #11 from Mike FABIAN mfabian@redhat.com --- (In reply to comment #6)
I haven't thought hard enough about it but I think something like a checkbox in the UI like: [] Auto complete words
This kind of design would make it an option for every language even if currently it can't work with every language. For languages not supported yet we could gray out the checkbox and add a tip label explaining that the feature isn't available for the selected language.
Currently, if one uses ibus-typing-booster engine for say German, then ibus-typing-booster can use m17n latn-post, m17n latn-pre, as transliteration engines or a Keyboard layout which has all necessary characters for German directly and then provide completions.
The above idea sort of reverses this, one uses latn-post, latn-pre or a keyboard layout and then selects a checkbox to complete.
But a simple checkbox would not be enough then, because for input methods like latn-post which support many languages the question would arise for which language it should complete.
