Setting the maximum number of repetitions for word prediction

You can configure how many times a word prediction is suggested. If the word has not been selected after the specified number of repetitions, then the word is no longer displayed and is replaced by another word.

If you specify a low value, then the words will not be repeated frequently. If you specify a high value, then the words will be displayed for longer, but they will replace other words.

For example: if the maximum number of repetitions is set to 3 and the letters 'g', 'o', and 'v" are successively typed, then Skippy will predict the word 'government" after each keystroke. However, if you continue by typing the letter 'e', the word 'government' will no longer appear in the prediction list (as it has been predicted 3 times already); and it will be replaced by another word prediction.
