RTL Support & Customizable Scrollable Suggestions
Yah TESTER ·
Hi! I've been testing the new Scrollable Suggestions (Beta) feature, and I really like the idea!
I have two suggestions that could make it even better:
1. Right-to-Left (RTL) Support for Arabic
Currently, the best suggestion appears on the far left, even when using the Arabic keyboard.
Since Arabic is a right-to-left language, I suggest:
- Displaying the best suggestion on the far right.
- Arranging the remaining suggestions from right to left.
- Allowing users to scroll left to view additional suggestions.
- Keeping the current left-to-right behavior for English and other LTR languages.
2. Customizable Number of Suggestions
Currently, the feature displays up to 12 suggestions. While this is useful, having so many suggestions can sometimes feel overwhelming and distracting.
It would be great to add an option in the Lab settings that allows users to choose the maximum number of suggestions displayed.
For example: 3, 5, 7, 9, or 12 suggestions.
This way, users who prefer a cleaner and less distracting typing experience can choose fewer suggestions, while others can keep all 12.
I think these two improvements would make the feature more flexible, intuitive, and comfortable for everyday typing.
Thanks again for your amazing work and continuous improvements!

definitely something to say for this, although 3 is already the standard.
That's true! However, my suggestion is about having more flexibility within the Scrollable Suggestions feature itself. For example, I'd prefer having 5 or 7 suggestions instead of being limited to either the standard 3 or the full 12. This would offer a nice balance between variety and simplicity.
True. 12 takes too much time to interpret
@Yah the row was always laid out left to right, whatever the language. Fixed for build 451, and in 2.2.1 on the App Store: with Arabic the best suggestion now sits on the far right and you scroll left for more. In LAB under Scrollable suggestions there's also a new "Maximum suggestions" option where you can pick 3, 5, 7, 9 or 12.
I’ve tested build 451, and I can confirm that both improvements are working perfectly!
Everything works exactly as expected!
I really appreciate your hard work!
