Re: new possible dash feature

 

This feature isn't present yet in Ubuntu, since I propose that no key
should be hit, before writing.
Even when the dash opens late (in my 4 years core2 the dash opens in
1s, no more...) the system should show all your "word", without loss
of letters.
 I think this feature could be really amazing.
