Hello Yair!
This is an amazing development - An autocomplete function for the SignWriting Keyboard ia a feature I would never have thought possible for typing SignWriting and yet it is here now...thanks to your dedication.

So thank you, Yair, for envisioning the design and then developing it and programming it - and thank you Steve, for the new SignWriting Server -

After the holidays I look forward to testing it, writing an instruction manual for the SignWriting Keyboard, and typing an article in the ASL Wikipedia using the Keyboard - an exciting project for 2016!

Many blessings for the end of the year holidays ....

Val ;-)

Currently, only the first suggested sign given by the server is shown, which is something I'd like to change. The script is still a bit buggy, parts of the suggested sign are sometimes not visible due to being partly outside the box. Work in progress.
