Option to Highlight the Top Prediction
OverClocked TESTER ·
When Predictions and Autocorrection are active, could we add a choice to use Highlights instead of Bold Top Suggestion, similar to the stock keyboard? Visually, this is more noticeable and gives a clearer sense of which word will be inserted on a space during tap or swipe typing. This would be especially useful in transliteration languages, when the matching word in the target script is highlighted as the Latin script is being typed.
A different shade of grey is used by the stock keyboard in dark and light modes.

We already have this right? Isn’t it working as expected for you?
Suggestion Framing setting places a border around each word rather than just the top suggestion. Even though the top prediction frame has a slightly different color when this is On, a more noticeable effect would be a plain suggestion bar with only the top suggestion highlighted, like the stock keyboard.
But the stock shows the highlight only when the swipe is still in progress, not after. Is the suggestion here to show the top suggestion in a more noticeable frame all the time, while keeping the other two suggestions plain?
Yes, the stock shows the top prediction highlight only during swipe typing, and until a space or a suggestion is selected during tap typing. Also for the top suggestion in a transliteration language. The same behaviour would be nice. Maybe as an additional choice under the current suggestion framing settings.
Same behaviour might be very difficult, as that probably requiresa design change. What we can possibly do is to show the top suggestion in a more noticeable frame while keeping the other two suggestions plain, but all the time. And this can be a switch under suggestion framing. Would that work?
