Very nice. It would be great if it were possible to capture the "V" key, so it wouldn't try to enable voice every time I have a word with that letter... but I know that's not really doable.

You can now use the Enter key to change the selection orientation between across and down

Just a note, the tilde key is not available on all keyboards (FR: Ctrl+Alt+2), so it's difficult to toggle between across and down. By switching the input methos I solved this, but it's not very convenient.
May I suggest the forward slash key instead?

I'll see what I can do, but it uses a lot of screen-space already... I don't know if adding more is such a good idea.

Awesome widget! It would be great if all the clues were also visible in a separate textbox instead of having to click and find them out. Is this possible in the next version ?
