More control over autocorrect/suggestion and explicitly typed word #2395

Description

@woj-tek

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Currently it's very difficult (or almost impossible) to select explicitly typed word.
It's also somewhat difficult to know if the autocorrect (middle one) will be used or not.

I do have enabled the most aggressive autocorrect and also "Always use middle suggestion" which works great most of the time.

Describe the solution you'd like
I think that previously (and also in SwiftKey) it was possible to have very aggressive middle-suggestion use and then have the left field/suggestion stick to explicitly typed word making it possible to easily discard middle suggestion.

Right now I often have to hit backspace/delete to un-do suggestion because there is no other way to prefer what I explicitly typed (it usually is NOT shown in the long-tap-on-middle-suggestion popup)

Use case
It would greatly limit number I have to undo the autocorrect.

It would also help training proper declination / forms that I use the most and give it more priority when suggesting words.

(I briefly touched on this in #1048 but that's another issue, though the table in #1048 (comment) shows clearly the issue with polish conjugation…)
