Provide an option to never show the suggestion balloon window

[janvlug]

I would like to be able to use the ibus-typing-booster completely without the balloon. Could you add an option to never show the balloon window?

The only thing that I want is the inline suggestions to speed up my typing of long words.

I made it now possible to use inline completion without automatic fallback to a candidate list

Now the inline completion option has 3 values:

• No
• Yes, with fallback to popup
• Yes, without fallback to popup

Even when “Yes, without fallback to popup” is chosen, it is still possible to explicitly request a lookup table by typing the key bound to the command select_next_candidate (By default this is the Tab key). But fallback candidate lists are then shown only on request, never automatically.

Test builds of ibus-typing-booster-2.15.28 with the new feature for Fedora 34/35/36/rawhide are here:

If the option “inline completion” was on (checked) before the update, it will be reset to “No” after the update so you have to switch it on again.

I think the new option “Yes, without fallback to popup” is what you want.

Can you please test this?
