Bug Description
Krillin, rc-proposed, r351
Basically the only reason I use the text prediction is to avoid having to press and hold on keys to get to the accented letters (until we have a custom layout which is more optimized for writing in Italian).
"È" is one of the most used words (it's the English "is").
It would be really useful if typing "e" would bring up "è" in the suggested words, but at the moment it doesn't, and that means every time I want to type such a common word/letter, I have to press-and-hold, which is a massive slowdown (probably even due to the fact that sometimes opening the press-and-hold overlay takes a bit too long) when typing.
Note that the same behaviour already works for longer words, for instance if you type "apriro" you'll get "aprirò" in the top3 suggested words.
