Element-android: Request Incognito mode on keyboard

Created on 25 Jul 2020  路  3Comments  路  Source: vector-im/element-android

It would be nice if Element could request keyboard incognito mode (on a per-chat-basis). While incognito mode is active, the keyboard should stop "learning" the words you are typing. Several keyboards have it implemented.
Element could use this flag: IME_FLAG_NO_PERSONALIZED_LEARNING.

Should probably be by default on encrypted DM (and rooms?)

Not sure if adding it as a per room is not too much (in term of complexicity)

Maybe option in Privacy security Settings

Incognito Keyboard :

  • Never
  • Encrypted DM
  • Encrypted DM & Rooms
  • Always

Notice also that there is no guarantee that your keyboard will do it

Sounds nice!
Your're right: it might be too complex on a per-room basis

I think this is on par with FLAG_SECURE to stop screenshots, so they should both be the same - either make incognito keyboard a whole-app setting or make no screenshots a per-chat setting (or as suggested above). Also, they should probably be next to each other in settings.
