2014-10-21 20:25:19 Michael Sheldon description Entering characters via pinyin can result in a lot of potential candidates on the word ribbon, sometimes requiring users to scroll the word ribbon a lot before they find the character they require. There are two areas that need investigating here: 1) Can we order the pinyin predictions in in such a way as to make commonly used characters more easily accessible 2) Can we modify the UI to allow the word ribbon to be expanded to show all characters at once (e.g. a button on the far left of the word ribbon that causes the word ribbon to display characters over the entire keyboard area until a character is selected).
