Jerboa doesn't check spelling as you type (sh.itjust.works)

Exactly what the title says. I'm not a native English speaker, so almost everything regarding auto-correct and word suggestions is turned off, except for grammar and speeling checks, that is set to underline. Underlining works in every other app, except Jerboa. Why is that?

I recommend using SwiftKey keyboard not g-board, not because of privacy, but because its better regarding multi language autocorrect and has many features the G-board lacks.

Seconded, I've been using SwiftKey for as long as I can remember, and the multi language support is pretty great, even if I do get my a converted to à occasionally.

Ah you can remove the auto correct for that by long clocking on it ;)

[–] PCChipsM922U@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hm, will try it. Can you remove autocorrect from it? Cuz my current settings with underline bad grammar or misspeled words and just tap on the word/phrase to get the suggestion for the word/phrase to be correct, suits me just fine. I don't like auto-correct at all, it messes with my native language spelling.

[–] CookieJarObserver@burggit.moe 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah you can turn autocorrect off in general or delete words you don't want from it
