It's a mental shift to move from writing single-word translations to multi-word translations in a single-stroke brief. How might Typey Type make this easier?
maybe something also like the ability to turn on/off colour highlighting for potential multi-word briefs might be handy in Typey Type to trigger the brain into thinking in briefs
Perhaps using an approach like steno hints on the fly, Typey Type could stretch into upcoming material to present multi-word stroke hints for the longest phrase that has a brief available. If you then type only the first word, the next item could fall back to a hint for only that word. For example:
A similar but slightly different idea is to highlight words that commonly run together that you might want to turn into a brief. This is more closely related to the TextExpander approach of analysing text you write a lot and looking for shortcuts you'd get a lot of use out of. (That seems like a bigger, harder feature, that might be more useful in Plover instead of Typey Type.) Alternatively, with a good source of material, it could be a good topic for a Typey Type lesson rather than a feature.

Unlike #31, this issue is about highlighting words that appear together that could be written with briefs, not just highlighting Typey Type material that is already structured around multi-word phrases.
