### Words added to Gboard dictionary are not suggested
Gboard uses its own dictionary instead of the system's personal dictionary. See [here](https://github.com/Helium314/HeliBoard/issues/500#issuecomment-2032292161) for how to export the words.
### What is `<word>` from settings?
* _Layout_: typically refers to the letters / letter arrangement on the keyboard without special keys like shift or space, but there are also [other layouts](https://github.com/Helium314/HeliBoard/wiki/Layouts#what-layouts-exist-in-heliboard)
* _Popup (key)_: additional keys shown on long press
* _Pop-up on key press_: short preview popups when you press a key
* _Hint_: Symbol on top right of a key indicating one of the popup keys
* _Functional hint_: `...` indicator on bottom right of the key indicating special functionality
* _Style_: general look of the keys, font, and icons
* _Toolbar_: the bar on top of the keyboard that shows some buttons/keys instead of suggestions.
* _Pinned toolbar key_: toolbar key that is also shown on "normal" suggestion strip.
* _Gesture typing_: type by sliding through the letters. Also known as _glide typing_, _swipe typing_, _swyping_, and other words.
* _Floating preview_: preview of the current gesture typing word shown above the finger.
* _Rapid typing cooldown_: time during which gesture typing is blocked after a key tap.
### What is the _nouserlib_ version?
The normal version (_release_) allows the user to provide a library for glide typing, while the _nouserlib_ version does not. Running code that isn't supplied with the app is _dynamic code loading_, which is a security risk. Android Studio warns about this:
> Dynamically loading code from locations other than the application's library directory or the Android platform's built-in library directories is dangerous, as there is an increased risk that the code could have been tampered with. Applications should use loadLibrary when possible, which provides increased assurance that libraries are loaded from one of these safer locations. Application developers should use the features of their development environment to place application native libraries into the lib directory of their compiled APKs.
