I didn't have time to check your patch. Anyway you cannot avoid a way to
"accept" a word. If you slide right, you put a whitespace, if you click
on the bar you accept the word and you have a free whitespace. I've
noticed also that while you wait for the animation to end, you can type
new letters, so you don't waste time.

that's better!

thanks, the university server seems to be lazy today. tomorrow I hope it
will be fixed.

I've checked it quickly, it doesn't seem really easy, I should get more
ocnfident with Qt. I hope I will have time to make it visible.
Is it better something like a "p" on a corner or a very short popup
saying "unpredictive"?

that's what it does. When you  accept the word you have a whitespace added.

capitalization doesn't work really ok. Well, it just doesn't work actually.

Something I've noticed that could be improved is that if you type a
single letter and you want to accept it it's quite hard to touch with
your finger the letter, since it's quite little. I guess this is
inherited from the predictive keyboard. It would be better to make the
whole bar reactive instead of the single letter.

ciao,
leonardo.
