"(15) Input Assistant: Skip Input Assistant when typing rate faster than

Chester, "this milliseconds" is strange, "milliseconds" being plural. How
about, "Skip Input Assistant when typing faster than this in milliseconds"?
(deleting the understood "rate" to save on length)

Limodou, please fix only the following that Dick has suggested; the other one
should
be fixed as I wrote it:
In 'Preferences' window:
Document: Choose where converted text is to be output: --> Choose where
converted text is to be outputted:
Thanks, Dick, for this one! ;)
I must say, though, that the second thing you are correcting me is okay as I've
suggested it, because 'Skip Input Assistant when typing rate faster than this
milliseconds:' is the same as it would say 'Skip Input Assistant when typing
rate is
faster than this milliseconds:'. But the 'is' is ommited because most labels
don't
have verbs.
Anyway, Limodou, please fix everything as I've suggested it, but please write
the
word 'outputed' as 'outputted' for
(3) Document: Choose where converted text is to be output: --> Choose where
converted text is to be outputted:
----------
(15) Input Assistant: Skip Input Assistant when typing rate faster than
this milisecond --> Skip Input Assistant when typing rate faster than this
milliseconds:
I have forgot to tell you: please add a colon : after this label and make sure
that
there will be a space between this colon and the following text field.
Have fun hacking! ;)

"Skip Input Assistant when typing rate faster than this
milliseconds:"
Is still VERY strange, IMNSHO.
My compromise: "Skip Input Assistant when typing rate faster than this
in milliseconds:"

I have a perfect solution:
--> Skip Input Assistant when typing rate faster than [text field here]
millisecond(s)
I find that the most elegant way. I hope I solved the issue. ;)

But please note that this label text is also arguable, because you don't skip
the
Input Assistant, you just skip input assistance (which is a feature named Input
Assistance). You don't skip a feature, but you skip an action, which is input
assistance.
So the final version of this long discussed should be:
--> Skip input assistance when typing rate faster than [text field here] ms
I have deliberatelly avoid the whole word 'milliseconds' because in the case of
'1',
the pronounciation would be '1 millisecond', so 'millisecond(s)' would be safe
to
write for that matter - but this is long and ugly. Probably all know that 'ms'
is a
time unit and that it represents milliseconds, so the best thing would be (to
avoid
'millisecond(s)' being written) to say just 'ms'. If you know what ping is (if
you're
an online gamer), you know that 'ms' are milliseconds, otherwise you can
realize that
from the context.
There is also one important thing here. What if the user types a negative
number into
that text field? Is that converted to zero (0)?
Please comment on my label's text proposal.

Brilliant!
But about 'ms': I don't think ALL know what it means. Just use 'milliseconds',
and
don't worry about the grammatical incorrectness of the improbable '1
milliseconds'.
Go for clarity.
So the final version of this should be:
--> Skip input assistance when typing rate faster than [text field here]
milliseconds

You are right. Your proposal is very good. I accept it. Limodou, please fix
this as
Dick and I have agreed upon.
Preferences window:
- page Input Assistant: Skip Input Assistant when typing rate faster than
this milisecond [text field] --> Skip input assistance when typing rate faster
than
[text field here] milliseconds
Please don't forget about the 'outputted' thing to fix. All other proposals of
mine
are good. Happy hacking! :P
Best regards,
Chester Dunn

Thanks both of you. But for "Skip input assistance when typing rate faster than
[text field here] milliseconds" does not support yet.

But can't you just put the textbox in the middle of the text, in the place
indicated?
(And make the box a bit shorter?)

No, I can't, don't support it now

Yes!
Now, the textbox could be made quite a bit shorter. For my Windows version, and
for
the size font I use, I can enter 999999999999999 ms, which is, I believe, 31688
years!
