Limited Swype Functionality #464

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

What version of the product are you using (you can see this by using Menu
-> About in the Host List)?

1.7.1 (2010.10.08)

This is more of a suggestion than an issue, I just don't know where else to put 
it. 

Irssi in ssh is the main thing I use connectbot for, so I use Swype a lot. But 
lets say Swype places a word there that I didn't mean for it to place, a 
problem I'm sure most Swype users run into. I can't tap back on the word and 
press the Swype key, nor can I hold the backspace button to delete the entire 
word. 

My solution is to add a standard text box that you would see in many other apps 
where you can tap wherever to put the cursor somewhere. This feature would 
probably have to be enabled or disabled in the preferences, since some users 
would probably like the traditional Terminal-style interface that the app 
currently uses. 

I hope the developers would consider my proposal as it would make the 
functionality much better.
