I'd like to see the ability to insert a block of text with spelling correction

[pete....@mailnull.com]

Hi,

I like that there's an immediate mode and a non-immediate mode, but
I'd love to see something less immediate than non-immediate mode.

Sometimes I want to paste in a big chunk of text, like into a text
editor, and I'd like to be able to use the iphone's built in error
correction.

Would it be possible to pop up a dialog in the form of a multiline
text box? Then you could click "insert" or "done" and it would paste
it into the terminal as if you typed it out perfectly the first time.

In general, I'd love to be able to use the error correction while
still in immediate mode, but I don't see any way that would be
feasible.

This is pretty low priority for me compared to the other things.

Thanks,
Peter

Interesting idea. On a related note, one of our longer-term ideas is
to offer local text-file editing: in other words, the ability to
download the contents of a text file to TTPro, and then use a multi-
line text editor (or something like another "terminal" window?) to
allow local text editing.

But perhaps your idea is a much quicker way to accomplish nearly the
same thing. For example, you could cat a text file, copy it to the
clipboard, and then open up the multi-line editor and paste the
contents in there. Then edits are easy, as well as auto-correction,
and when finished the contents would go back to the clipboard.

Actually, after that's implemented, it seems like basic local file
editing would be pretty easy -- it would just need a few automatic
shell commands (similar to how Directory Navigation works), and that
should be it.

If we could then integrate gestures, keypads, and TT auto-completion
on top of the multi-line text field, we'd have something pretty darn
neat. :)

I would like to add my vote for support of this idea. I think that it
could be of great benefit.
