Smart Keyboard Forum

Hi,
I have a pretty annoying problem with the autotext function.
Some words or letters that I set are not changed with the corresponding word or letter appears.

For example, pressing the 9 key in T9 layout, I was placed the 'x' not 'y', so I put:
y -> x

but does not work. Same thing for other words.

Can someone explain to me how to fix??

Hello
In T9 mode, the keyboard has no way to guess that you want a "y" when you press the "wxyz" key, so only the first letter of the key is taken into account. So you just need to define the autotext "w -> x" instead of "y -> x" and it will work

Wooow - YES - this was the solution I was looking for!!
Thank you Cyril!!

Yes works!!
Before i've write "y->x" because when press 9 first letter selected was y so i've put it in autotext

Grateful for the help, as it did work .. somewhat. I added to Autotext g -> i and since the letter i is a word both in Norwegian and in English, this works fine. Then I did the same for the letter a (which is not a word in itself) into å. But now this gets converted on the English keyboard too, even though this Norwegian letter doesn't exist in the English language or keyboard setup!
You have already made a fantastic feature in the User Dictionary where one may choose in which language setup the word added will be in effect (I have some words in this database which is effect only in Norwegian, and some words only in English). Is it possible to add the same feature to the Autotext?? You have already made the code for this, so I'm guessing it won't be too much of extra work. It's not particularly optimal as it is now.

Thank you for reading.

Regards
Sam
