This is great news that there is predictive text for UT.  I wouldnt have known if i didnt subscribe to this email list.

Is there a place online where great stuff like this is documented?  The UT wiki page doesnt mention it, and I wonder what other great tidbits there are that I am missing out on.

For example:  the instructions for importing contacts are broken for me.  I cannot remember the error, but I am unable to import contacts at the moment (r4).  

Is the wiki page being updated, and if not, is there a central area where we can find out the latest commands, installs, apps, etc ?

Thanks Pat,

I can confirm that this worked for me too:


    adb shell sudo -iu phablet gsettings set
    com.canonical.keyboard.maliit predictive-text true

But only English predictive text (My system is set to de German) 
There is a serious usability issue as you may know:

Clicking on a predictive choice should add "word " (word plus space ) this is very important and should not be hard to implement. Otherwise it's not very usable since you have to press space every time.



One more request: Can anyone please tell me if there is any combination of keys to make a screenshot ?
(In Android was Power und Volume down at the same time if I remember well)

Thanks for your advice!  This afternoon I will probably update to the new image.

                  Hello,

                  
                  I just wanted to know how I can enable Predictive text
                  in some easy way. 
              
            
          
        
      
    
    

    This worked for me, but I only tried English.

    

    adb shell sudo -iu phablet gsettings set
    com.canonical.keyboard.maliit predictive-text true

    

    
      
        
          
            
              
                

                
                I've seen someone has taken care of this here: https://code.launchpad.net/~attente/ubuntu-system-settings/enable-predictive-text


                

                

                

              
              I would wait until gets in the next updates, but I need to
              write text in German, and arrght! I'm almost crying.
              German is a nice language. For ex. Ambulance:

            
            in Spanish: Ambulancia

          
          in Italian   : Ambulanza

            
        in
            German: Krankenwagen
