In previous Maemo versions, I think it was possible to tap-and-hold on a word completion suggestion in order to display a context menu that allowed it to be forgotten. I've always disabled word completion though, so I'm not certain.

In any case, that doesn't seem to work in Maemo 5.

The best I can tell you is the files that track and store word completion suggestions appear to be:

• /home/user/.osso/dictionaries/.personal.dictionary
• /home/user/.osso/dictionaries/.used.dictionary

I tried to hold the stylus over the word completion thing when it came up but nothing came up. Can someone tell me how to access:
[*]/home/user/.osso/dictionaries/.personal.dictionary
[*]/home/user/.osso/dictionaries/.used.

You'd need to launch "X Terminal" and enter:
cd .osso/dictionaries

Then, you'd see the files are there by typing:
ls -a

The .personal.dictionary is a binary file though. I haven't investigated its format, but it wouldn't be a simple matter to edit it.

The other file, .used.dictionary, is a text file, but I don't think editing it would help you toward your goal.

i tried it but i dont really understand how to work it, is it like python? is there anyway to achieve my goal or probably not? i'll try calling Nokia tomorrow morning. thanks for the help.

If someone can come up with a tidy way of doing this, i will email a lifetime supply of jaffacakes. Or failing that, a huge amount of thanks.

Could something be created?

Does anyone know where the hildon-input-method source is? I'm wondering if the binary file format for the .used.dictionary and .personal.dictionary files can be worked out.

I haven't dug into the code to see what's there, but one or more of the following may help:

• Index of /projects/haf/trunk/hildon-input-method/src
• Index of /projects/haf/trunk/hildon-input-method-framework/src
• Index of /projects/haf/trunk/hildon-input-method-plugins-example/src
