Can't type the word 'paused'

[MoistToilet]

In my dictionary it says PAFUD translates to 'paused', but when I actually go to type the word, it come out as 'payoffed'. I'm fairly new to Plover and have no idea why this is happening or how to fix it.

PAFUD is not valid steno.

It seems what's happening it that it's interpreting it as PAUF (payoff) + -D. So either 'paused' isn't actually in your dictionary, or you're entering the D separately. Check that you've not got the dictionary that came with v3, as that one doesn't seem to include PAUFD.

When I look up 'paused' in my dictionary, it says the stroke is PAFUD, so I'm not sure why it won't work. I'm not sure which dictionary version I have. I don't mind having to go in there and edit things, but I don't understand why it won't work when I have it as a dictionary entry. Also, I'm pressing all the keys at once.

[benoit-pierre]

Because it's not valid: the -F key comes after -U, so you need to fix it to PAUFD.

Oh, I understand what you mean now. Thank you so much!

Remark: Apart from the automatic suffix key handling thing, Plover could have automatic wrong-stroke detection on <add translation>, <load JSON dictionary>, <dictionary editor>. For now I think only the plover_stroke library can detect wrong stroke, Plover can only normalize a stroke. (weird?)
