Edit search history on no-trackball phone

[GoogleCodeExporter]

When you want to type what you search, Transdroid displays some previous search 
entries, and sometimes you want to edit a previous search to avoid re-typing 
something close.

But you can't doing it if the phone doesn't have a trackball.
So it would be awesome if you could add a button on each line of the search 
history to paste the line in the search field, so the user can edit it easily.

Thanks a lot, Transdroid rocks anyway !!

I'll try, but it uses standard Android features at the moment so it might be 
impossible or a lot of work. Thanks for your suggestion.

I've looked into this but unless I implement everything myself this is not 
possible. Sorry.

I understand.
I just hope Google will soon release a new version of the standard search 
history component, because more and more phones don't have any trackball and it 
will be a heavy loss in ergonomy for many apps (including some Google apps like 
Maps).

I totally agree. For example I know some keyboards (like Swiftkey) now include 
software directional keys for that. Even more so the next version of Android 
for phones might just allow for non-hardkey phones, making this even more 
critical. When I one day make a tablet optimized version of Transdroid I might 
be able to solve this.

Okay, I'll take a look at Swiftkey then.
Thanks for the advice and thanks so much for the amazing Transdroid !!! :D
