Ugh… Way to ruin the best IDE on Windows.

Maybe it’s just me, but I have no desire for autocorrect on the computer. I want the letters I type to be exactly the letters that are entered, and I’m perfectly capable of typing words on a full sized keyboard. It makes sense for a phone where the keyboard is small and you can’t feel the keys.

Man, I’m dyslexic and a writer, so I thought that autocorrect would be really useful.

So, there’s an autocorrect available on Linux, and it does work.

But it is way more of a pain in the ass than a help. With an on screen keyboard, doing swipe typing, I don’t need autocorrect because I have the qwerty layout memorized, and can just make the patterns that make the words, and screwups are rare enough I don’t care. So I keep it off.

But dealing with it on pc? I really thought it would help, but it’s in the way. It made things harder to process. I make less mistakes that need correcting just typing in my semi-huntnpeck way via keyboard than having the program interfering.

Like, I’m the perfect use case for autocorrect, and it isn’t worth a damn.

It’s an optional feature, so no harm having it.

You are correct. No-one makes mistakes on full size keyboards.
