Delete learned words

As of right now, with word learning turned on, accidentally selecting a word as it's misspelled adds it to the internal dictionary and then starts being used for autocorrection.

There currently isn't, as far as I can tell, a way to remove this learned word or words without turning off 'learn new words' completely.

Perhaps a long press function to delete learned words would be good.

Duplicate of #28

I think they are different, that issue refers to word by word deletion when pressing delete for a long time.

Since openboard saves every single word you write, it will also likely save typos. The need to delete learned words would not be so big if openboard only learns words that have been written 3 times or so. But for now I don't recommend changing from 1 to 3 until #143 (sugest next words from a common dictionary) is solved because with 3 you get even less suggestions for next words.

I am on the same boat: OpenBoard has learned some of my common spelling mistakes and now uses them as proper words. An option to see the learned words and edit them would be very much appreciated. Thanks :)
