[FEATURE] Swipe-typing: display guessed word on the keyboard #491

Problem / Use Case
When swipe-typing on Urik, you have to look further up the screen to see whether you've typed what you intended. This wastes time.

Proposed Solution
Crucially, display the chosen word on somewhere on the keyboard. There are many ways you could do this but I'll give one option here:

  • User swipe-types a word.
  • Keyboard guesses the intended word and types it as usual
  • The guessed word is displayed at the top of the keyboard for about half a second (long enough for the user to check it's correct)
  • Keyboard switches to displaying the three alternatives like it currently does.
    Alternatively, if the keyboard displayed and updated the guess in real-time while the user is swiping (like how Google's Gboard does it), that would also work (but may be harder to implement; idk).
